MoreNorth Carolina State University, Athletics, Associate Director of Athletics Records contains the files of J. Franklin (Frank) Weedon. Weedon served in various positions during his tenure at North Carolina State University, including Publicity Director (1960-1961), Director of Sports Information (1961-1971), Assistant Director of Athletics and Sports Information (1971-1976), and Associate Director of Athletics (1976-1997). These records contain information about the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Service Bureau; departmental administration relating to Carter Stadium, student athlete letter winners, sports newsletters, and Weedon’s correspondence; individual sports; and the Wolfpack Sports Network. Athletics began officially at the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts on March 2, 1892 at what is today Raleigh's Pullen Park, when a football team made up of students at the college defeated the Raleigh Male Academy, a local high school, by the score 12-6. That fall, the team scrimmaged for the first time against the second teams of area colleges. After losing to the University of North Carolina and Wake Forest, the football team decided that they lacked the funds necessary to compete on an equal level with other colleges and universities. Therefore, they petitioned the college Board of Trustees for fifty dollars to finance travel and team equipment. With this request, the faculty and trustees of the college first became involved with intercollegiate athletics. Since 1947 athletic teams at North Carolina State have been known as the Wolfpack. The University has been a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference since it was formed in 1953.J. Franklin Weedon held offices as Publicity Director (1960-1961), Director of Sports Information (1961-1971), Assistant Director of Athletics and Sports Information (1971-1976) and as the Associate Director of Athletics (1976-1997) at North Carolina State University.
