That is the ania/.ing record of one of the most versatile sports figures in collegt' competiton today. A native of Kansas, McLen don studied the (;ourt game with its founder, the late Janies Naismith of Kansas Lniversity.

It is all in the McLendon spirit, a spii'it which in the gymnasium at North Carolina College causes the land to be considered among his avid followers as dedicated ground. The spirit which McIa^iuIou hiis infiiseil into 10 generations of North Carolina College athletes is now being spread thruuirhout the East and Miil- west by seven of iiis graduates who are in niajur coaching positions. .lames "Boogie'' Hardy, the whirlirig forward flash of the war years, is head man at St. Charles' School in Illinois.
