The beginnig of the modern sports
program at UNC-Chapel Kill coin
cided with the ending of Reconstruc
tion. Julian M. Baker was a gym
nastics enthusiast and a junior in 1876
when he financed a small gym which
he and university carpenter Foster
Utley built south of Gerrard Hall.
Inspired by the new facility, students
formed the Univesity Athletic Asso
ciation with. Julian Baker as presi
dent, began playing interclass base
ball games,and in the spring of 1884
played Bingham preparatory school,
losing 12-11.
In February 1884, students held
their first field-day on the large
athletic field southeast of Smith Hall
where now stands the Playmakers
Theatre. The events included greased
pig races, long jumps with and
without dumbbells, a baseball throw,
two- and 18-lap races around a one-slxth-mile
track and three-legged,
fat-men's and 100-yard runs.
A growing desire for a substantial
gym coincided with a push by some
trustees to cease holding the annual
commencement ball in Smith Hall
because the dance "diverts attention
from study, leads to liquor drinking,
involves considerable expense, and is
a grief to multitudes of our best
citizens." The privately directed
University Gymnasium Association
incorporated on 29 October 1884,
raised money by selling shares at $10
each, bought a lot now occupied by
Phillips Hall, and raised a tin-roofed,
frame structure with a 100' by 45'
main arena that served both as a
gymnasium and a ballroom.
In 1883, the seniors and freshmen
united to defeat the juniors and
sophomores in UNC's first organized
football game. On 18 October 1888
at the State Fair in Raleigh, UNC
began intercollegiate football play,
losing to Wake Forest 4-6 with a team
captained by Bob Bingham and
listing John Motley Morehead and
A.H, Patterson as players. In 1889
UNC, Wake Forest, and Trinity
College (now Duke University)
played spring and fall round robins,
each team winning and losing twice.
Several serious injuries that year
prompted the trustees to ban the
sport as a brutal and unwholesome
spectacle which encouraged gam-

bling and drinking. Students vigor
ously protested; professors Horace
WilVams, Francis Venable, and Eben
Alexander urged that : the ban be
lifted; and the trustees yielded.
Students resumed play in 1891 and
fielded a legendary team in 1892, with
William P. Graves of Yale as coach,
Mike Hoke as captain, and Charles
Baskerville and Bill Devin among the
- players. In October, that team beat
Richmond 40-0 and lost to Virginia
18-30. Then during Thanksgiving
week they accomplished feats which
are, for humanitarian reasons, no;
longer possible; On Monday, 22
November, they defeated Trinity 24
4 in Chapel Hill. After riding the
overnight train to Atlanta, on Tues
day they outscored Auburn 64-0. The
next day in Nashville, they beat
Vanderbilt 24-0. Returning to
Atlanta, on Friday, 26 November
they revenged their only loss of the
season by trouncing Virginia 26-0. In
five days, the UNC eleven had
traveled approximately 1,000 grueling
miles and beaten four major teams
by a combined score of 138-43 without
making a single substitution.
"Oh! What a day of triumph it was
when the Varsity team returned from
Atlanta, George Tayloe Winston
later recalled, "bringing with them
the beautiful trophy of victory and
the bleeding scalp of our ancient foe,
the University of Virginia." Tar Heel
fans had to subsist on those memories
for a long while. Between the 1892
win and a 7-0 victory in 1916, UNC's
record against Virginia was a depress
ing 3-16-1. One of the victories was
in 1898, when UNC's only undefeated
football squad went 9-0. :
After moving to Knoxville, Ten-
nessee, in 1908, William f Meade
Prince attended the University of
Tennessee practices, copied their
plays, and gave them to UNC captain
George Thomas. The Tar Heel's first
scouting report had little practical
value, however, since the team lost
0-12.
In 1905, work was completed on
the Bynum Gymnasium, donated by
Judge William P. Bynum of Lincoln
County as a memorial to his grand-,
son, who died while a student at the
University. A decade earlier, trustees
had leveled the floor of the old
Memorial Hall in an unsuccessful
effort to improve acoustics. Students
started playing interclass basketball
in the unheated building in 1903 and
fielded a team in 1911 which began
intercollegiate play, accumlating a 7
4 record against teams as diverse as
Virginia, Woodberry Forest prep
school and the Durham YMCA.
The first head basketball coach
was Nathaniel J. "Nate" Cartwell, a
Kentucky native, a former resident
of Asheville, and a University of ,
Pennsylvania track star Cartwell
succeeded in convincing the UNC
trustees to levy an annual fee of $2.50
per student to support athletics, but
he resigned in late May 1914 imme-
