Davis Laps Honor^
As U.N.C. Athlete
Grail Cup Bestowed Upon Former
GHS Trackman; Davis Tops
in A.A.U. Meet
Continuing his pace as a superior
trackman, James Davis, ’35, has re
cently received tlie Freshman Ath
letic Award at the University of
I^orth Carolina.
The Grail Cup, awarded to the
freshman most outstanding in ath
letics and scholarship, w'as given to
Davis. Ten years ago Robert Zealy,
’26, received this award at Caro
lina.
While competing in the mid-win
ter Indoor Games at Chapel Hill^
Davis shattered 2 seconds oif the
six-year-old three-fourths mile rec
ord of 3:16 minutes. In winning
this, Davis led the jSTational Junior
mile champion and the ITational
Interscholastic mile champion to the
tape. In the recent Amateurs’ Ath
letic Union meet, Davis set a Caro
lina Freshman half-mile record of
1:57.4 minutes and won the Junior
800-meter.
The AAU meet proved further
successful for Davis. He followed
the Southern Champion Morse, of
Duke, to the finish in the Senior
1500-meter by inches, defeating
Carolina’s varsity miler. Gammon.
Davis’ time of 3:59.3 minutes in this
event would have been equivalent
to a 4:19 mile, which betters any
existing freshman record in the
country.
In 1935 Davis was captain of the
GHS track team at which time he
set the present high school half-mile
record of 2:1.8 minutes. Davis is
the only GHS athlete to receive the
Lionel Weil, Jr., Trophy.
