UNIVERSITY AND OLLE0E.
Two strong Tssms to p Football
To-day.

To-day.
"Hoo-Rah-Ray. Hoo-Ral Kay. Ray-Ray.
U.-v..A." The Universit gof Virginia and
Trinity College, Of North Carolina, football
teams will contest In muscle and science
this afternoon for the honor Of bearing the
name OF champions OF the South.
The VARSITY team already possesses that
honor, having won it In a match game with
Wake Forest College team, Of North Caro-
lima.
Trinity having defeated the crack team
OF its State, is prompted by ambition TO con-
test with the champions for the champion
ship.
The game will be played this afternoon at
3 O'Clock at Island Park, and viii be one 4
the most interesting contests Of that excit-
ing game-foot- ball-that RichmOnders
have ever had an opportunity OF witnessing.
Many Of RichmOns's society girls Will grace
the occasion, and lend their cheers for the
encouragement Of their respective favor
ties. Governor Mckinney has also con-
sented TO honor the occasion with his in
terest and presence.
CLOSE GAME.
The game will no doubt be a close and
exciting one, as both te. ms are not only in
excellent trim, but In muscle and almost
noted teams of the North.
For several days many Of the society girls
have been displaying the noted "orange and
buer-the Varsity cOlOrs-and some Of
the merchants on Main street have had sus-
pended strips Of the cOlors from their bnild-
ings in honor OF the interesting event.
At O'Clock last night the University
team reached the city, and are at FOrds
Hotel. They were accompanied by their
popular manager, Mr.. ". ii. Taylor, and
about twenty OF the patriotic students who
wished TO witness the game.
The Trinity College team reached the city
yesterday afternoon at 10 O'Clock, and are
at the Hotel DOdson. They are an unusual
y fine set OF men, and reflect credit upon
the old North State. several Of the " arslty
boys, in viewing the fine physique OF their
friends, the enemy, last night, were forced
TO manifest a very perceptible vince OF APP
prehension. Ii is enough 10 say that the
'Narsities have at least met fOemen worthy
of their steel.

TRINITY TEAM.
The feature of the Trinity team is her fine
centre, Whitaker, who is a fine specimen OF
strength aud activity combined. He stands
six feet two i'm his shoes, and weighs 2Os
pounds. lie is also followed closely by sew
eral others on the team.
The 'Narsities are prepared TO meet their
opponents i'm the centre rush in the now
celebrated Garth, whose playing in this po-
sitOn with the Lafayettes was almost phe-
nOmenal and is as equally OF stalwart build.
Perhaps the finest player on this team is
Greenway, the left guard, who played 80
successfully with the Lafayettes that his
admirers carried him from the field on their
shoulders. Among the other stars Of the
'Varsities are 4. l.. Thurman, grandson Of
the "Old Roman" and William Elliott, son
Of Congressman Elliott, of South CaOrlina,
The game will no doubt be witnessed by
an immense crowd, and who goes will spend
an enjoyable hour.
