lima, arrived this morning, and after COM
pleting the final arrangements Tor the
game. met his team at the station railway
depot this afternoon.
With white and blue streamers futter-
ing from the lappels of their coats, the
Tar Heels were jolly lot of fellows, ana
soon found themselves elegantly quar-
tered in the jefferson.
The men of the party who are attract
ing most attention are the ones who VIII
nut up the hardest fight against the boys
OF the Old Dominion. Capt. Wright -
well remembered by the Virginia players.
Half Backs Butler and Whitaker, aiso'
are well known here, and tonight these
men are instilling into the team the prop
er encouragement.
The yirginians arrived this afternoon
and are also stopping at the Jefferson.
They are heavier, older and more expert
enced players but the injuries to Morrl-
son. their full-back, may be the cause Oh
great trouble to them rs the trst hall
will. in all probability, be kicking game.
What the Carolinians lack In weight, age
and experience they make up for by their
nerVe. fearlessness and grit, and to-mor-
rows game will not be decided nntn the
last blow of the referees whistle for time.
White and Blue-Old Gold and Black

little thought in comparison to the Viii.
mingtorl- Varsity Reserve game. in Hill
ton Park tomorrow
The Reserves are jolly set of pig-skin
hustIers. and while deeply interested IN
the result of their own contest, to-mor-
rows great inter-U University battle seems
to hold the strong place in their thoughts,
and they are thinking of how each man
at the jefferson in Richmond is feeling
tonight.
For three months now they have fought
almost daily battles against the Varsity,
that the latter might be the better pre-
pared to face Virginia, and now when the
Reserves have branched off into life
of their own, as it were, they cannot for
get the IAen who, after all, are playing
for the glory Of the State
the Wilmington team is heavy and old,
but lack the experience even Of the Re-
serves. The game tomorrow will not be
a walk-over for either side, and Captain
McKee'B knights of the gridiron will put
up q straight, open football fight. The
men registered as the Varsity Reserves,
with the probable positions. They will
play in the game tomorrow as follows:

night, and every one is interested IN the

The Varsity in Richmond will play Vir-
ginia, and while we are under great dis
advantages, a hard fight will be made,
