passed safely through petWeeH ths suaru
and tackle. and made three yards.
In the lineup, one OF the Virginia men
was declared to be on the wrong side by
the umpire, and an award OF ten yards
was made TO North Carolina. Baskerville
added one more yard to this, and Ste
phens, In quick succession. made an ad-
ditional two yards. Pugh made an at
tempt to move forward, but was stopped
by Johnson. and lost one yard. Four

LOST BY INTERFERENCE.
Pope here saw an opportunity for a
kick, and availing himself of II, he sent
the ball forward for twelve yards.
Gregory got under 1t for fair catch. but
was interfered with by several Virginia
players, and North Carolina was awarded
fifteen yards. Guion secured the ball, and
was downed, but without gain.
Moore hero showed his sprinting abili-
ties He secured the ball from Guon and
before the Vrginians realized what he
was about. he had passed safely around
their left end and was steering towards
goal like a deer coursing over the ground
He managed to get eighteen yards on
them before he was stopped, and then q
scrimmage ensued. in which Merritt got
his head rather severely bumped.
Guion again took the pigskin but he
was slow in starting. and Johnson at
once tackled him. A down and no dis
tance was gained. Stanley fumbled the
ball, and Gregory took it. Upon this a
kick was made by Captain Penton, ne
claiming that a fourth down had been
made without a gain. Mr.. Riggs, decided.
however, that Virginia had touched the
ball when Stanley fumbed it. and there
fore when Gregory touched 1t and failed
10 move It it was the first down for
North Carolina. Consequently, the ball
strl remained in Carolna's possession,
and Guion securing it. made a successful
run through left tackle and advanced II
four yards.
Stanley then fumbled 1t, and Rams
burg fell on It. Pope gained possession
Of the leather. and running around the
right end, gained seven yards. lt was
claimed that one OF the North Carolina
men was on the off side when this play
was made, and Pope was called back and
given ten instead of seven yards. john
son then rushed the pigskIn through the
centre for two yards, and Hicks followed
through the same gap, with gain OF
one yard.
A GENERAL MIX-UP.
The long-halrei players were all mixed
up at this juncture. legs appeared to
be where heads should have been. and
nothing but mass OF grotesque human
ity was TO be seen. Jones managed TO
crawl out from the pile in some manner,
and thereby advanced the ball another
yard. Baird fumbled. and Taylor, in an
attempt to take advantage Of II. lost
5 yards for Virginia Then again DID
Pope work in his wonderful Kick with
great results. He sent the pigskin sail
ing through the air for a distance ot
45 yards but Baskerville caught IT, He
was Immediately tackled by Johnson, and
made no gain.
The thlck-set little North Carolina cap
tain succeeded in disengaging himself
from Johnson's grip, however, and mace
a gain through left tackle Of one yard.

North Carolina I yards. Baskerville
kicked 10 yarCs on the outside, and the
ball was brought I'm Is yards. Penton
took It, and rushing through the centre,
gained yards. Pope by a similar play
gained 3 more. and Groner took the
sphere and attempted to make long run
around left end. He was stopped by
Moore, and falling into the hands OF
Merritt. he was. by superhuman EFFORT
that was superb. thrown back at least
yards.
RAN THE SCORE UP.
All Of this playing took place within
10 yards Of Virglnia's goal line, and.
therefore. was very exciting. Virginia
was awarded 2l-2 yards for an off side
play on the part Of one OF the North
Carolina men. and Johnson then advanced
the bail to within one foot OF the goal
line. Here a struggle took place, and
for some time Pope. who held the ball.
lay fat on his back SyIns with allpf his
strength TO move II i:rward that one foot
needed for "a touchdo!'n. The Carolinians
were piled on him three deep. but this
avaiIed them naufnt. for he finally
stretched himself aid got it over. and
another scare had: been made. Pope
again kicked the goal and placed the score
IS to 0 in favor Of Virginia Time spent
in making touchdown. IS minutes.
RIGHT INTO POPE'S HANDS.

Pope, who with his eagle eye trained on
the ball. was awaiting It's earthward
course. lie waited aot an instant after
getting his hands uion it, but, rushing
forward. succeeded Il; returning 1t thirty
tive yards. Groner then advanced it two
yards more. and Fenton, who, by the
way. IS one OF the ,best men for wrig-
Cling through a llnG-up ever seen here.
wriggled himself through the centre, and
gained six yards. Ramsburgh then took
the pgskin four ya:ds further on. and.
Johnson coming to hts assistance, pushed
it two yards further on. Groner then
went around the left end for S-yard
DASH and Pope advanced the sphere 10
Virginla's S-yard line. Hicks took II
into the 4-yard line. and matters began
to assume a desperately aspect for
North Carolina.
In the scrimmage which followed, for
the Old North State lads were contestng
every inch of ground now. Baird wrenched
his hip. and had to be retired Guion was
assigned to his place-that OF right
