]. of his u years at WIN as head
coach and athletic director. Un-
der his guidance the football
team moved into national prom
inencc.
In 1947, the team threw the
switch on the University Of
North Cardinals drive to the
mythical national championship.
The same pear, year when the
Southern conference was big
unit, he was voted most out
standing coach by the Durham
club.
In 1886, at Athens, Tenn, he
climaxed u seven-year coaching
career at Tennessee-Wesleyan
by winning the national junior
college championship.
In 1949, he coached the South
ern team in the Blue and Gray
classic at Montgomery. Ala.
There are many other salient
periods in McCray's athletic his
tory. such as his being ALL
American basketball center, all
Southern fullback. having teams
in the now defunCt Dixie and
Delta bowls, and successes also
| in baseball.
At the time he decided to
come to Boys Home, McCray
lwho had been in private bust
ness since 1851, was actively
| iickcrIng in several areas to re-
turn to athletics.
To use Il phrase loosely, Nc
Cray retired" from sports in
1851 To 90 into the automobile
business at West Point. Actually
he kept up his interest in boys,
IN youth and youth activities on
the side.
/ Virginia newspaper stories on
McCray's decision to go back in
to sports caught the eye of R.
C. (Bob) MaultSby, former exc
cutivc secretary of the White
willie Merchants association.
Maultsby, who is now a trav-
telling salesman, knew McCray
and went to see him. He began
talking Boys Home. It must
have been the usually persua-
sive Maultsby talk because late
in May, McCray made his first
visit to Lake Waccamaw. Then
he made another. And then the
deed was done.
Although college sports have
gained McCray the bulk of his
national reputation, his back
ground contains wide expert
ence in other phases of youth
work.
An active Methodist, he has
been highly active in church
youth work where ever he was.
For several years he directed
activities for the Methodist
youth conferences at Daytona
