Tar Heel Grid Team Of ’92 Ranks With Best In State By JOHN GILES CHAPEL HILL, Jan. 26. — The death this month of Walter “Pete” Murphy, veteran Salisbury legisla tor and long-time University of North Carolina friend and trustee, recalls many stories of the famous Carolina eleven of 1892 on which he played. The “Wonder Team,” as it be came known, brought with it the first real season of football at The Hill. Reports in the student maga zine for that year predicted a great team. It “will surpass any we have had in the past,” the forecast read. Football had just been started at Chapel Hill in 1883, but history amply bore out the prediction. The ’92 eleven not only was the first great University of North Carolina team, but its record still stands high after half a century. It was also in 1892 that the name “Carolina” first came into use in inter-collegiate competition. Pre viously “Chapel Hill” and “The University” were used. Seldom has a football team been manned by players who' achieved such distinction in after life. Its members became noted jurists, chemists, manufacturers, attor neys, planters—and even ministers. Mr. Murphy, long prominent as a leader in North Carolina politics, twice Speaker of the State Legisla ture, and often called “the educa tional legislator” and the “truest friend the University ever had,” was the “center rush” that year. The late Dr. Charles Baskerville, an eminent chemist at the Univer sity and later at City College of New York, was the plunging back. Associate Justice William A. Devin of the N. C. Supreme Court romped from the blocking back position. The late Louis I. Guion, a main stay at the tackle post, later be came a wealthy South Carolina planter. David “Baby” Kirkpatrick, a guard, became a Greensboro manufacturer and business man. William D. Merritt, who played a smashing end, is now a Roxboro attorney and University trustee. The late James T. Pugh, Boston attorney for 40 years, was another tackle. Ben E. Stanley, a substitute halfback, was a Kinston attorney. Monel William P. Wooteen, re serve center, won the Distinguish ed Service Medal in the A.E.F; in the last war and now lives in' re tirement at Washington, D. C. J. Crawford Biggs, first-string end, practices law in Raleigh and was formerly Solicitor-General of the U. S. The Rev. W. P. M. Cur rie, long a Presbyterian minister at Wallace, and Dr. Norfleet M. Gibbs, New Bern physician, both roamed from the flanks. George R. Little, Elizabeth City insurance man and Chairman of the Board of Elizabeth City State Teachers College, stopped oppos ing linemen at tackle. A former Asheville mayor and attorney, the late Alfred S. Barnard starred at niKir+arha plr The late Dr. Michael Hoke, first medical director of the Warm Springs Foundation and eminent Atlanta orthopedic surgeon, coach ed and captained the team. How ard B. Shaw, one - time professor of engineering at N. S. State Col lege, was a back, and the late Eugene M. Snipes, who achieved prominence as a minister, was a star guard. The season of 1892 opened with a walloping of Richmond College 40 to 0. Virginia, Carolina’s great est rival at that time, the next op oponet. The Tar Heels lost a hard fought game 18 to 30. After that setback the squad went into a rigo rous training schedule with such grim determination that they next trounced Trinity 24-0. A week later they went to Atlanta to wallop Auburn 64 to 0. The fol lowing day at Nashville they beat Vanderbilt 24 to 0, and two days later they returned to Atlanta to play Virginia a second itme. Caro lina flattened its heated rival this time 26 to 0, and sportswriters ac claimed it the best team in the South. Campus enthusiasm over the re turning conquerors ran high. Dr. Kemp Battle describes the victory celebration thusly: ‘‘A committee was appointed to arrange for a banquet, another to decorate and send to University Station a special train to meet the player. When it reached Chapel Hill the students enthusiastically converted them selves into equines and drew the carriages from the station to the campus. President Winston, Cap tain Michaels Hoke, and Mr. Char les Baskerville, manager of the team, were in the leading carriage. The shouts of ‘Rah! ‘Rah! White; Rah Rah Blue; Hoopla N. C.'U.!’ rang out on the campus until a late hour.” The ’92 eleven unodubtedly is one of the great Carolina teams. II might naturally be concluded thal the players were heavy and big, but such was not the case. Only three could have compared with modern weight charts: Kirkpatrick at 230, Murphy 200, and Snipes 195, The others weighed from 144 to 170, The first eleven average 155 in the backfield and 180 in the line. Caro lina’s 1945 team averaged 180 ir the backfield and 195 in the line. The Virginia defeat in 1892 mighl well be termed the beginning o the “Carolina football spirit,” foi after that game the team “fell tears in their hearts” and resolvec to remove them by victories. Thus in 1892 was the Carolina spiri bom.

" 1 LAWMAKERS SEEK TO END LOG-JAM (Continued From Page One) Two White House proposals come before the House next week. The next two days of business in that branch have been set aside for consideration of legislation re turning the United States employ ment service offices to state con trol on July 1, 1947. President Truman wants the uses retained in the Federal govern ment, which took it over during the war emergency, until mid-1947. House Republicans, along with a group of southern Democrats, will try to return it to the states one year sooner. They succeeded once before but lost their fight when the President pocket-vetoed an ap propriation cancellation measure to which the uses proposal has beta added. The cancellation bill, minus the uses amendment, comes bbefore the House for a vote Wednesday. Then will come what well may develop into the hottest fight "of the session—a bill to set up fact finding boards to handle major labor controveries. The President wants the boards to have subpena power and to have the advantage of a 30-day “no strike” provision while the boards make their investigations. The Legislation approved by the House Labor committee for House consid eration eliminates the “cooling-off* period and sharply curbs the boards’ power.
