earned her laurels, and justly deserves the

from START to- Finish.
AS soon as it was announced that Cap
tain Penton, of Virginia, had won the
toss the news spread over the grounds
like wild-hre II was a signal for another
deafening shout from the thronS OF
orange and blue sympathizers, for every
body knew Captain PentOn would choose
the western goal to defend, TINS oe.ns
slightly advantageous by reason or the
gradual upward slope of the grounds In
that direction. Then the slight adVdn-
tage in weight of the Virginia players
made matters all the more fortunate iQr
them TO have the western goal, their
rush line being particularly effective IN
such q position.

full bit of work, and Hicks. the clever
Xirginia right tackle, failed TO handle
the ball with his usual deXterity. His
tumble was a somewhat expensive one,
for Gregory fen upon rim like a hungry
wolf The bali was brlSky gathered up
by Pope. who punted for about forty
wards and the heavy united efforts OF
the Nirginians forced the leather to the
6fteen-Vard line. IL looked very much
as if the orange and blue would score.
Their efforts were more determined the

All quarters simultaneously, and the pa

realizing what close call they had, shook
themselves together and treated their OPP
Moments TO little surprise party.
Stephens, the Carolina left half, made
a terrific dive through centre. gaining
five yards. 1t was a plucky play, ana
was scarcely accomplished before GuiOn
slowed that he knew thing or two
about looking after his position He
sueaked around right end for 4 threc-yard
gain. and Baird supplemented the play by
n clever run almost directly through cen
ire putting about ten yards OF the Tar
heels territory behind him. \ moment

to the CaTolinians' advantage by stealing
around left end for thirteen yards, GuiOn
getting In a clever interference His ca

tacklng to fine effect. A foul shifted the
ball 10 the NiTginians. who made a deS-
perate squirt. They started the leather
on Cardinals forty Vineyard line.
VIRGINIA SCORES.
Blaine started the alI-important move

yards, and moment later the NirGinians
gained four yards more by a united sup
port to Taylor. An on-Side play gave
Virginia an additional ten yards, and
Johnson was beautifully guarded by Bur
lingame as he sprinted around left end,
gaining ten yards more. Pope was In
the scrimmage for a gain Of two yards.
and Taylor lost as much in his effort TO
get by Stephens. A moment later Taylor
gathered the leather and punted 10 one
side. Guion got the ball on the l5-yard
line The Carollnians, however, failed 10
follow up this bit of success. An ugly
tumble on the part of Stephens permitted

Collier towards the goal line Baird fail

from thousands of threats the clever Y ir-

over the line and scored the first touch
down. Then pandeMonium reigned The
worshippers of the Orange and Blue gave
vent 10 their feelings with one continued
shout, and nobody doubted that Pope
would make 1t goal. AS expected, the
ball sailed beautifully between the posts,
