/. score of 46 to O, it is needless to say
that Carolina was outclassed MORRISON
uoxton and Groner were able to pierce
Cardinals line at will, and at every
noint. except Capt Wright, which point
was attempted very seldom. But then
a team with eight men who had never
seen football before they came TO col-
lege. could not be expected to play q
great game against men who had an
nlaved fer two years before going to
col,aoe Virginia never lost the ball on
down. and never during the game was
their goal in any danger
The 25-yard line was as close as Caro-
lima ever came to scoring. Virginia
made most Of their gains by tandem plays
on end. and tackle and end runs. occa-
sionaly Carolina weuld stop a centre
play and down the runner IN his tracks,
but usually yirginia's five yards was
forthcoming without much dlfncuity.
Carolina's line was very tiimsy ana they
seemed unable to make up Virginia S IN
tarfe,euee. Belden's ability to punt
had little effect on the game, as he got
few chances to kick. His try Tor goai
at the end of the second hair on 1alf
catch turn the 45-yard line feh snort,
and Cardinals chance for scoring was
lost. The umpire and referee were al
right. and a sufficient police force ana
picket fence kept everyone OH the helu
who had no business there.
Carolina can find no fault IN thal re-
gard. 1t is only a pity 1t WASH { 80 last
year. when it would have meant victory
for Carolina. Tonight Rogers aud but
ler were slightly hurt
IT had little effect on the score, now
ever. as Carolina was beaten fifteen MN
utes otter the game commenced.
We can only comfort ourselves by a
sshetter luck next time" and hope 10

R;chr.ond. va. Nov. 26.-The foot ball

lima met with a crushing defeat here to-
day AT the hands of their old opponents

THANKSGIVING utiy was dAA4o9S pSAA~Ne
as far as weather was concerned, and
large crowds took advantage of its balmi-
ness and were early on the streets gay
in the eolors of their faYorites and well
supplied with tin horns.
Virginia colors predominated, but there
was a great increase over former years
in the number who wore the blue and
white of Carolina. The gates of the
West End baseball park, where the game
was played, were scheduled to open at
1890, but failed to yield to the eager
throng which had gathered outside to the
number of thousands, until fully forty
minutes later, owing TO the tardiness OF
the gate-keepers from the contesting col
Ieges. Some severe jamming was the re-
suit, but when the gates at last opened,
there was d continuous flow of spectators
until, when the play was called at 2:3O
o'clock. there were between 5000 and TO-
900 persons eagerly scanning the field
and endeavoring to the utmost Of their
powers to make all the noise possible.
Both teams stopped at the Jefferson,
which they left at 1870 o'clock, arriving
at the park about two. The ovation here,
especially to Virginia, was very enthusi-
astic. The line up was as follows
