A Sporting Personality
THE PERSONALITIES that one meets in the course of follow
ing athletic competition are material enough for a book or even
several volumes of very interesting reading, but there happens to
1 a young gentleman now in the athletic field at Carolina today
v.h,j makes a very interesting story that will just fill Wednesday
r. mining's column.
His story is one that could reach the tear jerking level if you
1,1 it run away with you, but might be better told the way he
would want it told if he let you tell it at all. The fellow in question
is Marvin Wilson, currently fighting at the 121-pound weight for
the -grapplers of Coach Chuck Quinlan.
Wilson has the born spirit of the competitor, the will to win and
if that is not possible, the will to do as best as one can. He has
all the qualities of the great : athlete with the exception of one
very important one the physical component. Infantile paralysis
hit Wilson at an early age and left, as it does with many, the scar
of a crippled limb. : -''."..
Three Lettermen
EUT IT TAKES MORE THAN that to stop some people and
Wilson proved to be one of these. He worked to overcome his handi
cap and did the job well enough to letter in three sports at the
local Chapel Hill high school. He did it in football, though to meet
him on the street you couldn't picture him as a high school end
prospect. He was noted for his hustling spirit and could tackle with
the precision of the best of his teammates. In baseball he was a
catcher of better than average talent, could handle the best of
pitchers and threw runners out at second with amazing consistency,
even if tome of the pegs took an occasional bounce on the way.
To say he hit his weight won't be much of a" compliment to this
light-limbed light-hearted lad, but he did do some creditable deeds
with the willow.
Basketball was the third of Wilson's high school letter achieve
ments and he played this sport like the rest. "I was a point a
minute man in those days," he will say, "but for the time I played
it was easy."
A Switch to Wrestling
UPON HIS ARRIVAL at the University which was merely a
walk across town, Wilson looked over the athletic field and found
that the three sports at which he was most proficient were a little
out of his class. Then he stumbled upon wrestling where the littler
man gets the same chance at glory as the fellow even twice his size.
This was for him. y
Wilson had wrestled but one match before this current year and
that was a few years back when he got the call to take the mat
against traditional rival Duke, which is quite an assignment for
the fast outing. But Wilson look it in stride as he almost did his
Blue Devi opponent, losing only by a close decision.
Since that time Wilson has grappled on and off for Quinlan. This
year he again resounded to the call to the canvas and is back at
the. 121-pound spot for the Tar Heels. In his first five encounters
this season, Wilson has been forced to contend with many of the
South's best wrestlers who unfortunately for the Chapel Hillian are
slacked at the opening weight. This rugged competition has left
Marvin victory less, but he is still to be reckoned with in the
remainder of the Tar Heel meets and Southern Conference tourney
that follows.
Wilson has only had his shoulders touched to the mat once in
his collegiate career, and that feat was accomplished last weekend
bv Rock Mover of VMI. the current conference champ. According
to Wilson, it was the first time he
a baby.
Confine
WILSON DOES NOT CONFINE his athletic activities to wrest
ling though, and has branched out into other corners of the sporting
picture. His other achievements include: one-time intramural box
ing champion, an assortment of mural wrestling crowns, runner-up
title in the campus ping-pong championship, and the ability to
currently hit the double figures regularly with his fraternity bas
ketball team. He plays exceptional checkers too.
Last year though, Wilson received one of the campus' highest
awards, the Intramural department's cup for leading fraternity
intramural manager which in laymen's language means the manager
who has done the most to further the mural program in his
respective organization.
Besides all of this, Wilson can challenge anyone for the title
of No. 1 Tar Heel sports fan. A Tar Heel born and bred he is the
sen, grandson etc. of University alumni, and therefore is well versed
in the spirit and tradition of the college. He takes a Carolina loss
as much to heart as the ruling coach does. I
So, hats off to a great competitor whose will to play has helped
to move himself over a serious obstacle and upward on the athletic
ladder and higher still in the estimation of Tar Heel sports fans.

Lee and VMI in Lexington,
made preparations yesterday
the team to beat in the Southern

March. The Generals' team is
composed of six freshmen, all
with outstanding wrestling buck
grounds, plus several outstandin
men.
Phil Kemp and Oscar Gupton
suffered their first defeats of the
season in the W and L tilt.-Both
Kemp and Gupton lost their mat

It was also the first loss for
"Old Grandad" Bluethenthal. but
it was only his second match if
the year. His initial victory came
in an overtime contest with VMI.
The only remaining undefeated
