An All-CIAA quarterback for two years, 1933 and 1934, William P. "Bill" Malone also played baseball and ran track. In 1931 before NCC had an official track team he rode the train to Norfolk, caught the ferry to Newport News, and hitch-hiked to Hampton to compete in the 100-yard dash. He returned to Durham with the silver medal from the meet. The $3.40 for the train fare was the result of a campus fund-raising effort. In 1932 NCC had a full track team.
Mr. Malone was for 29 years a CIAA football official. He retired from the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company in 1975 after 41 years of service.
