Wilbur Wade Card

Wilbur Wade "Cap" Card (October 29, 1873 – September 3, 1948) was an American baseball player, coach and athletic director at Duke University. He initially introduced college basketball to the state of North Carolina and became the university's first men's coach of that program from 1906 to 1912 as well as being Duke's first athletic director from 1902 to 1948.

Card was born in Franklinton, North Carolina on October 29, 1873, to Sabert Henry Card and Cecilia Bennett Fuller. He attended Trinity College in Durham in 1895, becoming one of the school's best athletes as an outfielder and batter, breaking a number of baseball records and eventually earning his nickname "Cap." Card was team captain in 1899. He graduated from college the following year. From doing this, he was soon known as the "Father of Intercollegiate Basketball in North Carolina." Card would finish in 1912 with a 30–17 lifetime record as Duke University's first men's basketball coach.

On September 3, 1948, Card died from a heart attack at age 74. He is buried at Maplewood Cemetery in Durham. In his honor, the gymnasium at Duke University was renamed Card Gymnasium in March 1958. The gym, which opened in 1930, is located adjacent to the famous Cameron Indoor Stadium.
