SLOWLY, But SURELY.
When Virginia lined up again the gen.

half was completed vera beautiful run
of Jones through centre. a fine play of
Guion, Of the Carol.nians, by which he
gained twenty yards around right end
by the timely interference Of Collier and
Baird; an effective punt OF Baskerville
a magnificent run around right end by
Johnson; PentOn and Hicks covering
themselves with glory In the Interior
ence, and the all-around teamwork OF
the NirginianS.
During the last few minutes of the
first half the ball was carried far into
the territory Of the NlrglnianS, and at
one time they had reason TO be uneasy
lest the CdrOiinians would score. By
heavy rushes through the Carolina CEN
tire. however, and especially through the
discreet runs around the ends. prlncl-
pally on the part OF Groner, Jones and
Pope the ball was forced back into the
territory Of the Carolinians, and when
the thirty-five minutes was called for
the closing Of the first half, the ball
was within twenty-five yards Of the Caro-
lima goal PentOn's work at right guard
and that of Burlingame at left guard,
was particularly effective for the Nir-
giniaus, while the tackling of Hicks,
and the shreWdness Of Price did much to-
wards keeping the ball out Of Virgin
las territory a good portion of the time.
Stephens, of Carolina. did fine work at
left half towards the close of the first
half, and the efforts Of Pugh, in tack
ling and Moore. at right half, were by
no means futile.
VIRGINIA GAINING GROUND.
After a ten-minutes' rest, time was
called for the second half. RamsburS was
substituted by the Nirginlans FOR BoSher
AT left tackle. The latter found II we'll
nigh impossible to hold Pugh, the Caro-
lima left tackle. For this reason the
change wac made. Virginia defended the
eastern goal during the second half, and
worked uphill. Despite this fact, their
playing was better than during the hrsi
half There was more dash and spirit In
their Interference, and their mass plays
we're particularly effective. Encouraged
bv victory ahead, the question for sOlu-
ton was to shut out North Carolina:
AT f.05 o'clock Price OBLIGATED at the
kickoff. sending the ball about twenty
yards towards the opponents goal. Baird
caught the ball. but gained only about
five Yards fore his career was stopped.
GUion gained ten yards around leIt end'
and Pugh advanced IT two yards further
through centre for the same distance,
and Baskerville, too. North Carolina was
then given ten yards for virginia. on
side play, and plucky stephens broAe
through Blaine's defensive for two
yards. This put the bail on the $5-yard
line. but efforts on the part Of the caro-
linans failed to make distance, ana the
ball went 10 Virginia. Johnson mere
made terrific rush straight through
centre Sharp and the rest OF them Ut
terly failed TO stop him until he had
added twelve yards TO the virginia ter

When Taylor shifted the ball to Pope,

a fair catch when Virginia payer IN

ball was within twenty-five yards or her
