the cap and haversack worn by Mr.. Geo.
Merritt, Company K Forty-fourth North
Carolina Volunteers; the $101 in ''Blue

the battered ounce of Federal lead which
pierced his shoulder at the battle Of the

his right arm for life.
Thomas @. Merit sent to the
field four sons: William L Merritt,
who died prisoner at Point Lookout;
John T. Merritt, killed by a shell in the

to sieze the railroad and sever Richmond

coarse and faded cap typical of tn

THE SCORE WAS EVEN FOUR.

Greek met Greek.
After struggling for a period of
seventy minutes, the football eleveus of
Wake Forest and the A. and M. College
came off the field yesterday afternoon at
Athletic Park with honors even. The
score was four, four.
II was a game full of snap and furn-

which was some larger than on the day
before. A large delegation of A. and
NJ. College students and good sprinkl-

were on the field to cheer their respec-
tive teams on to victory--but in vain.
The game itself was well played, and
revealed much training on the part of
both elevens. The A, Il NJ. College ex-
celled in their full back Alexander,
whose work stood out in bold contrast
with the others. Alexander ducks the
line well, and is always good on point.

features of the game was brilliant run
by Wick around the end for distance

played strongly against the Wake For

erably. J. H. Gore and Barrett played
best for Wake Forest Cores brilliant
runs around the ends won the admi-
ration Of the crowd, Barrett played
particularly snappy game, fgur-

Forest made most of its gains by cir

while A and M. did their work mostly
by punting.
A noteworthy fact was that both
touch downs were made in the first half
In the second half, A. and NJ. carried the

Moss of Wake Forest sprained his
ankle and was succeeded by a sub.
Thomas's tackling is worthy of note.
He is a promising player. A. and M.
