| The day dawned with a clear sky and
| a cool, brisk wind blew throughout the
| day, gathering a few clouds to break
| the sunlight just at the hour appoint

| the morning the lobby of the En-
change Hotel rang with the cheer:
''Hackie, hackie, hackie! Sis, boom.
rah!
Carolina, Carolina, rah. rah, rah!
| Rough, tough we are the stuff;
We play football and never get
enough"
At the jefferson the Virginians We're

man without sufficient boldness and
strength of character to withhold par
tial decisions. Even the most ardent
admirers OF the Virginia boys declared
him the most partial umpire ever on
the gridiron.

North Carolina were disqualified fol

many that Umpire Beaumont was not
the recipient of the "pasters." II was
untrue that Merritt was engaged Ill
slugging, and many at the time be
lieyed it was an attempt to weaken the
Far-heels' best men. When Collier was
ruled off for supposed slugging,. the
Carolinians refused to play because il
was openly stated in the face of the
dmpire's decision that Collier was in
nocent.
