VIRGINIA DOWNS THE rARHEELs.
The North Carolina Boys Beaten by a
Score of "a too.

score OF o4 TO ".
Richmond, Nov 29-Fully six thousand
people attended the game of foot ball
played here to-day between the Univer-
sity of Virginia and the University of
North Carolina teams. From an athletic
standpoint, the game could hardly be
called a success, as the North Carolinians
were clearly outclassed at every point. 1t
was observed that they went into the
contest with grave fears of defeat, and
ten minutes after the struggle began, it
was still more evident that their appre-
tensions would be realized. The Vir-
ginians won easily by a score of "a to 0.

North Carolinians showed lack of prac-

unquestionably the result of their inexpe-

the superiority Of the Old Dominion even
more manifest they considerably out

The game was clean played through

in Richmond.

time they had played together the North
