And if our opinion is questioned, we ask the doubter to simply turn to a summary of Carolina's 1928 track season. The Tar Heels blew off the lid of the 1926 season by defeating Duke to the tune of 91 23 to 31 13.

Duke was able to take only one first place out of the fourteen events. McPherson was high point man of the meet with ten points as a result of firsts in both, the dashes.

The Tar Heels took all three places in the 100 yard dash and in the half mile.

The meet was unique in the fact that so many Carolina men tied for first places. Ford-ham was again king point snatcher with 13 points.
