A GREAT VICTORY.
The Techs Win a Hard-Fought Game with
North Carolina.

DANVILLc, VA, oct 3O.-Specal.-
The football teams Of the Virginia Poly
tcchnic Institute and the University or
North Carolina, met for their third battle
here to-day. the game being replete with
brilliant plays, and filled with such ex-
element as only exists when fortune dis
tributes her favors first on this side then
on that.
The game was q beautiful exhibition OF
skillful scientific work, and resulted In
score Of four TO nothing in Virginia's
favor.
The day was an ideal one for football.
and IL is TO be regretted that the game
was not better attended.
About five hundred people were present.
CAROLINAS TOSS UP.
Carolina won the toss and Bell kicked
thirty yards. Carolina. however. adyanc-
ed the ball but a few yards before the
runner was tackled, and In the next two
downs failed TO make much gain. Virginia
secured the ball in the next on tumble.
and by successfully bucking the 'Narsi-
tvs line. carried the ball TO within three
wards of the goal, where it was lost on
a tumble. Carolina was expected to kick,
but resorted TO line bucling and received
eight yards then lost the ball TO Virginia
on downs.
PENNsY's PLAY.
The cadets employed Pennsy's play OF
guards back and the Carolina line was
forced slowly but surely back on their
own goal. In six minutes from the time
of the kick off Cochran crossed the line
for touch down Johnson ialled goal
Score. 4 to 0.
During the remainder Of the half neither
side scored. although on several occasions
Cardinals goal was in imminent danger.
SECOND HALF.
Carolina opened the second half by
kicking off for twenty yards. The ball
was soon returned by Virginia, however
but was lost to Carolina on the only Off
side play Of the game. The remainder of
the game was an exhibition OF scientific
playing such as has never before been
seen here.
Carolina would. by hard work. advance
the bali a few yards, only to lose II on
downs I'm the next plays: Virginia. on Sc
curing the ball. would likewise only be
able to advance it a short distance, and
then be compelled to relinquish to the
"Tar Heels"
JUST A TRIFLB BETTER.
Yet the Virginans showed a trfle more
confidence, a trihe better team work, and
possessed a trife the advantage in weight;
and at the call Of time at the end OF the
second half It was Virginia's ball within
six yards Of Cardinals goal.
For Virginia the best work in line was
done by Stul Wood and Pelter, who time
and again broke through and tackled
Cardinals backs with considerable loss.
Behind the line Barnetts work was es-
pecially brilliant yet Whitehurst and
Bell were very much in evidence Cochran
did well, but was handicapped with a
sprained ankle. which interferred greatly
with his work.
