SportsTalk: A Trip Back in Time to 1954

/by

SportsTalk 12:30 p.m. M-Th

Back in 1954 the Atlantic Coast Conference was very different than it is today. In 1954, the ACC had 8 member institutions. Today it has 18. The following institutions that made up the ACC back then were:

  • Clemson College
  • Duke University
  • University of Maryland
  • University of North Carolina
  • North Carolina State College
  • University of South Carolina
  • University of Virginia
  • Wake Forest College

Scout Hughes and George Hoyle take a trip back in time to talk about the following players from Vance County, Granville County and the surrounding areas that played for these ACC Institutions back in the 1954 ACC Football Season.

These following are players that played for ACC Football for schools in the 1954 Season:

  • Charlie Bussey, Quarterback at Clemson, Sophomore from Henderson, NC.
  • Gene Wyke, Right Halfback at Duke, Junior from Oxford, NC.
  • Fred Beasley, Right Halfback at Duke, Sophomore from Henderson, NC.
  • Blanton Dickerson, Quarterback at North Carolina, Sophomore from Oxford, NC.
  • Connie Gravitte, Right Halfback at North Carolina, Senior from Roxboro, NC.
  • John Parham, Left Halfback at Wake Forest, Junior from Oxford, NC.

Thank you to Dr. Wilson Hoyle Jr. for calling in and giving us important insight on a few of these players.
