| team fell fighting stubbornly, when all
| hope OF victory was gone, as when the
battle began.
HOW THE GAME RAN.
Virginia scored the first goal after ten
! minutes play, but they did not break
through their opponents defence again
until within a few seconds of the call
Of time.
During the first half the fight was
waged most of the time in North Caro-
lima territory, but the defensive work
was superb, and repeated efforts TO score
were defeated by Carolina's mass-plays.
The fast play on the part Of the Caro-
linians opened the Virginians' eyes to
the fact that they were up against a stiff
proposition. and the game became hair
raising in the intensity of its excitement
One of the brilliant features of the
first half was Whites run of 35 yards,
the only one Of any consequence during
the afternoon.
In Captain Belden North Carolina had
a fountain Of eternal hope and inspira-
ton. Time and again he relieved his
goal-line by cool-headed punts, which in
variably succeeded i'm making great gains.
Carney was the bright particular star in
the Virginia band of hope, and he was
invariably quick as a flash, and as cool
as a cucumber. Hill. too, made some
exceedingly clever plays, and was In the
game from start to finish, and he buckCd
the line for keeps. There were a good
many fumbles, but few off-side plays, and
there was absolutely no slugging.
DID BETTER IN THE SECOND.
In the second half North Carolina show
ed up to even greater advantage than in
the first, and Virginia was hard pressed.
The ball was kept in the home territory,
and Belden made three attempts to kick
a goal from the field, but failed each
time.
As the time wore on, however, Vir-
ginia gained considerably on every ex-
change of kicks, and for the remainder
of the half kept North Carolina on the
defensive. Carney. Hill, and Morrison
drove time and again into the Tarheel
line with terrific force. and the ball moved
RAPIDLY towards the North Carolina goal.
The blue and white line was hammered
back. and the ball was carried into touch,
and the touchdown was converted into
a goal a few seconds before the call Of
time.
VIRGINIANS STAND 1T WE'LL.
The virginia eleven remained intact
throughout the garpe, Not a single man
was compelled to leave the contest, while,
on the other hand. ii was found necessary
10 make four changes in the North Caro-
lima team. KluttZ had his ankle badly
sprained. Shull was also compelled to
retire He said some one stood upon
his shoulder, and he heard IL crack, and
was unable to move it. Howell. who was
crippled before he went into the game
had his knee badly hurt again. His place
was taken by Graves, who was hurt
shortly afterwards, and compelled to re-
tire. Buxton being substituted
There were numerous layouts, and this

ened by these and other causes, occupied |

| tackling. These instructions were rigidly
adhered to by the two elevens, and as a
result, everything passed off smoothly.
VIRGINIA GETS KICK OFF.
Carolina won the toss. and, choosing
to defend the east goal, gave Virginia
the kick Off The men then took up their
respective positions, and Morrison kicked
off TO Cardinals 3O-yard line. Collins
captured the ball on a neat catch, and
returned it yards, when he was downed.
Howell made quick opening through
right tackle for more yards, and the
ball was snapped back to Belden, who
made a kick. Wallace blocked it. how
ever, and, securing the pigskin, made
15-yard run towards Cardinals goal. Hill
then took charge of the ball, and went
through Cardinals right tackle for
yards He made another attempt at the
same thing, and then, on a tumble, the
ball went to Carolina on her 15-yard line.
Collins took charge Of it in the first
play, but made a bad tumble, and Carney
captured it. going through Cardinals
centre for a gain Of 8 yards. Hil tried
a run through the right end, and made
an advance of yards, and in the down
that followed Shull was knocked out
He soon got on his feet again, however
and resumed play.
A double pass was attempted at this
stage of the game, but resulted in no
gain and Hill then went around the end
for yards. Morrison bucked the centre
and gained 1 yard, placing the ball on
Cardinals 7-yard line.
HARD FIGHT FOR GOAL.
Then the struggle started in earnest.
The Carolinians did everything in their
power to head the Virgnians off, but the
boys from Charlottesville were bent on
reaching the goal, which was now almost
within their grasp and they redoubled
their efforts Morrison once more at
tackled Cardinals centre, and again did
he gain a yard. Hill then followed
through the same opening for a gain OF
2 yards. and Carney carried the ball l
ward further. Desperate work was now
being done, and the Carolinians were
pushed back inch by inch. They waited
for the next onslaught, which came very
promptly, and ere they could do ought
TO check him, Morrison had again at
tackled their centre and carried the ball
over the touch line, scoring points for
Virginia. amid the howls of the crowd,
who waved Virginia's colors high in the
air. fad literally applauded the doughty
captain. Tempeman kicked goal in
most skilful manner. and added more
points to Virgina's score.
Score: Virginia, 6; Carolina, 0.
HIS KICK NOT TRUE.

had to repeat the effort. He kicked for
40 yards the next time, and Nalle catching
IT, returned it 20 yards before he was
tackled. Morrison then kicked the ball
80 yards down towards Carolina's goal,
and Howell returned it 1 yard. Belden
made a 40-yard kick, but the referee or
dered the ball back, and the umpire
awarded Carolina 10 yards for an off side

The ball remained in the possession OF
Virginia, and Morrison made a dash

however. White, Cardinals left end,
fumbled, and the ball went back to Vir-
ginia Hill attempted a play around
the left end. but lost yard. instead of
making a gain, and Carney took the pig
skin through right tackle for 2 yards.
The ball was then snapped back to Nor
rison. who made a quick kick. which
yielded 40 yards. Belden caught the hide
on Carolina's 15-yard line, and was down
ed i'm his tracks. A fake kick was then
executed, and it gained yard for Caro-
lima. Beden then made a S5-yard kick
to Hill, who gained 5 yards after the
catch.
AN ACCIDENT TO WHITE.
A heavy down followed. and in the
scramble White was laid out. Hill kept
his eye on the ball, and, scrambling to
his feet made a gain of l yard around
the right end On a mass play which
was attempted Immediately thereafter,
Carney was the central figure, and he
made a gain Of yards through left
tackle. Morrison then went through the
centre for yards, and Davis followed
through left end for another yard. Car
ney, on a double pass. made good start,
but as a result of foul tackling he lost
5 yards. though this loss was not al
lowed by the officials. A general mix
I'D followed and Rogers, of Carolina,
was slightly injured in it. He continued
to play, however and the game was re-
sumed. Morrison made a 30-yard kick,
and the ball was called back, though, Cor
an off-side play, Virginia was given u
yards and the ball Carney followed this
with a gain OF 3 yards around right end,
and Hill. in a quick opening, made more
yards. Nothing more was done in the
succeeding downs, and the ball went over
TO Carolina. No sooner had they gotten
the ball than the Carolinas began to work
in earnest. Howell got hold Of the ball,
and. circling Virginla's right end. made
a dash for it. He got away from the
bunch successfully, and made sprint
down the field for a distance of 80 yards.
He would have made n touchdown on
this play but for the superb interference
of Hin. who was on TIE alert. and tackled
him I'm a most skiiful manner. Howell
went down, but was on his feet In an in
stant, and made another gain of l yard.
He then lost a yard, but Immediately re-
covered It, North Carolina attempted
snap back for a kick, but Virginia IN
terfered with the pass, and bungled it,
with the result that Carolina was award
ed 10 yards by the officials.
BOTH GAIN AND LOSE.
After one or two struggles, which
yielded only small gains, Belden kicked
the ball 80 yards down the field, and Hill.
securing it, returned it yards. Morrison
then made n return kick of 30 yards TO
Belden, who was quickly tackled by NAL
lory. Kicks being the order of the day,
Belden returned Morrison's punt, and
kicked 30 yards to Male, who was tackled
in his tracks. Hill, on a play around
the end, made a gain of s yards. and
Carney followed with gain of yard and
a half through the centre. The gap in the
centre thus made was taken advantage of

THE GAME AS TT WAS PLAYED.
How the yirginians Took Their yic-
tory from the Strong CaroIinians.

The game was one of the most ex-
citing contests played in this city
In years. and though the crowd was
much smaller than has usually attended
the Thanksgiving Day football games
here. there was an abundance Of enthu-
slasm among those who were present,
and some lusty roofing was done.
The contest from the very beginning
resolved itself into a desperate struggle,
and while there was total absence or
slugging, one of tho reprehensible fea-
lures OF some Of the games that have
from time 10 time been played here,
there was waged hard and bitter night.
The Virginians outwelghed the Caro-
linians In almost every position, but the
Tarheel boys were nothing daunted by
this fact, and they bucked Virginia's
line as often as circumstances would
permit. and they made repeated gains
through II. They could not score. though,
for the Varsity lads outgeneralled them
At the critical points In the game, ana
kept the bail away from their touch-iine.
