CHAPTER OF MINOR ACCIDENTS.
some of the Many Casualties which
Occurred During the Gimme

The great game Of yesterday was not
| different from ali the other games that
are played on the gridiron, in so far as
the accidents which occurred are con-
| cerned. At almost every stage Of the
game some one of the twenty-five play
ers was hurt, but, fortunately for them.
none Of them was seriously injured.
Occasionally the game is played in n
brutal manner, and on the sly the men
avail themselves of every opportunity
that presents itself to "slug' each other.
and black eyes usually result Yester-
day. however, there was an entire an
sence of any such work as this. and the
accidents which occurred were purely
accidents, and were simply the result OF
the plays themselves, which, at times. TO
be perfectly made, have to be rough.
During the two hours and a quarter
OF play there were exactly twenty ac-
cidents, though only four men were in
1ured to such an extent as to necessitate
their leaving the field. and all four of
these were Carolinians. Collins. Caro- /
lina's clever little back, was the first to 1
receive injuries. He hurt his right leg 4
quite painfully, but pluckily continued /
in the game, though on three other oc-
casions that same leg was injured. and
he had to lay out for treatment.
Probably the most serious injury re-
ceived was that of Captain Belden. of
Carolina. who, just as the game was /

there was little of the enthusiasm that
generally marks the night after a foot

the fact that the Virginia team and a
number of its friends left for home at
a comparatively early hour, and partly
owing to many of them hurrying off 10
