College football
Winston was an All-Southern college football end for the North Carolina Tar Heels of the University of North Carolina, captain of its 1911 team.[1] He was selected for the 1914 College Football All-Southern Team by Dick Jemison.[2] Kemp Plummer Battle recalls he was a good player but shifted around the line too much for his own good.[3] He was once in charge of athletics at Bingham Military School in Asheville.[4]
Career
Winston represented Wake County in the North Carolina General Assembly in the North Carolina House of Representatives of 1917. Winston resigned from the General Assembly so that he could served in the United States Army during World War I. In 1949, he was named chairman of the State Board of Alcohol Control. He also practiced law with his father and owned a farm.[5][6]
