signal for a terrific outburst of applause.
and from the blcaChcriCs on the north
side Of the field, where the Varsity dele

Of the Southern Tigers. Scarcely had the
echoes died away before the adhereats OF
North Carolina defantly flung back the
war whoop, with which they make the
welkius of their native land ring. But
Virginia had journeyed down TO cheer

Meanwhile, the Tigers had been dis

kicks from the field. 1t wanted just five
minutes to three o'clock when the Tar
heels entered the park, from the north
western end. Again pandemonium seem

State was. If possible. even more cordial
than that received by the 'Narsit!es.

'Narsites the slight advantage Of the
small downward grade. and also put the
sun in their opponents faces.
1t was 3 o'clock when Mr. Albert
Riggs, Of Princeton, referee, blew his

test To begin.
Mr.. T. Symington, of the United States
Navy. pcted as linesman, while Mr..
Stewart Janney, eX-Cdptain Of Johns

The gentlemen gave perfect satisfac-

The sound Of the whistle was the sig

| selves comfortably in their seats. in ex-
| pectaton of seeing a clean, honest, and
| Well-cOntested game of football. and
/ they were not disappointed
| 1t was soon evident that Virginia was
much the superior in interference and
| also that her halves were stronger and
J ran better with the bah than the Tar
/ heels. In fact, il soon became apparent
! that North Carolina must resort to a
! kicking game, which she did not do.
and this in some measure, Is accOunta-

The Tarheels. however. used their ends

/ whole they were not equal to the 'Varsi-
J ties. 1t with her linemen that she
/ made the most of her gains, Pugh, Guion

The Tarheels succeeded during the first

INF TARHEgl CAPITA y HURT.
Baskerville was injured number of
times, but pluckily continued in the
game until near the close of the second

tackle, his knee was hurt. and he was
! forced TO retire in favor of Graham.
