After n Long WrangIe.

Richmond. Va, Nov. 2S.-The University
of Virginia foot ball eleven defeated the
eleven of the University of North Caro-,
lima here to-day by a score of 8 to 0.
The big foot ball park was crowded
with spectators to overlooking at 2
o'clock, the hour for play to begin, but it
was half an hour later when the canvas
CARRIED heroes entered the arena. The Caro-
linians were the first to put in their appear
ance, and as they rushed out on the grid
iron and commenced kicking the ball to
and fro. the rooters decorated with blue
and white. who We're in evidence on all
sides fairly went wild. The Virginians,
led by Capt. PentOn, made their appear
ance shortly after the Tar Heels and the
enthusiasm with which they were greeted
was almost unbounded The large crowd
apparently rose en- masses and for sew
eral minutes the atmosphere was filled
with hoarse yells, In which could be dis
tnguished a slight mingling of the shrili-
er cheer of the female rooters, who were
out in great numbers.
As soon as possible the captains got to-
gether and selected the officers of the
game John Poe of Princeton was cho-
sen for referee; j. E. Lloyd of the Uni
Versity College of Medicine (of the city,
and Beaumont (of the University of Penn
sylvania) We're appointed umpires; and
Messrs. Baskerville of the University of
North Carolina and Allen Potts of Rich
mond were made time keepers.
Capt. Gregory of North Carolina won
the toss and chose the west goal. At
2:SO o clock play was begun. The playing
during first half was pretty much ali
against Virginia. the ball being almost
constantly in her territory. At one point
the umpireS awarded a foul against North
Carolina, and the ball went to Virginia.
Penton rushed for two yards and Lambert
followed with, a similar gain advancing
the leather two yards more. Jones did
likewise, gaining another yard. He was
tackled and lost the yard he gained. 60
hounds he
qualified jackson for smuggling and dis
pute resulted Capt. Penton was 10th to
lose his man, and commended that Caro-
lina's right end, Merritt, had been guilty
of the same offense charged against Jack
son. The umpires decided to rule both
men outof the game, and Capt. Penton be-
ing satisfied with this decision, substi-
tuted Bullitt for jackson, and Field was
put in place of Merritt.
Play was resumed and after some play
ing the BAH was snapped back to Lam
bert, and he kicked ii 20 yards Collier of
North Carolina, interfered with him and
attempted to make him miss the kick and
Umpire Beaumont rushed up and grabbing
him by the arm, ordered him out of the
game, charging him with having slugged
Lambert Collier stoutly denied the charge
and a number of the by-standers among
them. the newspaper men, asserted that
the charge was. unjust. Umpire Beaumont
declined, however, to move from the stand
he had taken and said. that Collier must
leave the game. Capt. Gregory declined to
allow Collier to leave the game and said
that if the umpire did not rescind his ac-
ton and permit Collier to play he would
take his men from the field and stop the
game. A number of Carolina PLAYERS
crowded around their captain and be-
sought him to adhere to his decision not
to play if Collier was taken out, and
though he nearly weakened twice, he
maintained his contention that his man
should remain or that play would be stop
ped.
Several professors from the University
of Pennsylvania attempted to bring the
disagreement to an AMIGA BILE end, but
Gregory held out and finally the umpire
if the CarolinianS would forfeit the ball
to Virginia, and sacrifice fifteen yards
Gregory agreed to this, but Penton de-
clined to play with Collier in the game
He was finally persuaded to accept the
compromise, and the game proceeded,
after a delay of about twenty minutes,
during which time the crowd had en-
a great portion of the space reserved for
the players. All attempts to put them
back were futile, and they We're left as
they were. When time was called for
