IL was not long after the middle OF the
first half that North Carolina worked up
TO a brilliant series of plays. More
strength and grit was thrown into the
team work. while the individual players
depended no little upon STRAIGHTFORWARD
efforts TO force the ball into Virginia S
territory.
The tackling of North Carolina during

LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered WIN
ScrofuIous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
II appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
TO be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had heipd her was
Hoods Ssrsaparilla. We decided to give
II to our boy and We noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and 1t has never since returned"

yards, and then in quicker time than II
takes 10 tell. Whitaker broke the line,
and with excellent interference sprinted
60 yards for a touchdown, but goal was

The next touchdown was a little more
difficult TO make, but IL was done by the
combination Of Wilbon EubGnk, and Ell
