ings, for the game that their team had
just won had placed them at the head OF
southern colleges. As each member OK

much gratiisd az the liberal way IN
which tho Richmond people gave their
applause. Indeed, they seemed 10 have
tho good wishes OF tho crowd.

floor. and with the white ive.yafd
oross-lines looked more like tennis
court than a foot ball ground. This 10

Among the earliest arrivals at the
grounds wss a fourth hand coach filed
with Varsity students. The coachDsn was
gavly decorated with the eolors and tho
whole coach was draped With the orange

, VARSITY MASCOT.
Like all base and football teams the
VARSITY men have their Mascot. He u
negro boy about sixteen years OF age.
Before the game began he stood with the
Virginians' friends and yelled the col.
lese cry at tho top Of his VOICE. At ono
stage Of tue game, when the defeat OF
his people AS a result OF over-coniidence
seemed probable, he Was as dumb as an
oyster.
There were about 1000 spectators OF
tho game-among them many ladies' AZ
it WIS very raw on the Island, and dark
ness coming on, most Of these latter wore
compelled to leave before the game Wa
finished.
The pluck and conduct OF the North
Carolina boys deserve the highest com.
mendAtion. They certainly threw their
whole might into the contest and proved
much more formidable competitors thsn
the Vireiuians expected To find them.
