Richmond, Va, Nov. 2o.-The gladia-
tors of the University of Virginia have,
fought another hard battle with their
adyersaries of the University of North
Carolina, and one more victory perches
over the Orange and Blue banner. The
score was II to 0. 1t tells of victory
as fair as it was complete, and surprls-
ing only from the fact that it was not
more disastrous ito the Tar-Heels. 1t
was a foregone conclusion that Virginia
would win and odds were freely laid that
the score would reach at least thirty
points in her favor. Except in kicking
Virginia men outplayed the North Caro-
linians in every department, but the
defensive work of the latter was SUI
perb and though the Virginians played
an aggressive game from start to finish
and kept the ball well within their OPP
nonents's lines. their repeated efforts to-
score were defeated by brilliant mass
PLAYS. The North Carolina team has
improved very much of late, and that
uncertainty which makes the sport at
tractiye. was demonstrated when the
young athletes of the White and Blue,
lighter in weight by twenty pounds and
lacking confidence, met their opponents
1T every point and gave them. the battle
of their lives. The game was remarka-
BILE for the number of kicks made. The
ball changed hands frequently, but neith-
er side kept it for any length of time.
For Virginia, Carney was the bright
particular star, while for North Caro-
lima Beldon did yeoman service. Nir-
ginia scored the first touch down and
kicked an easy goal early in the first
half, and the second just half a minute
before time was called in the second
half. There were many fumbles, but
few off side plays. Heretofore the
rivalry between the Universities has
been so keen that much animus has
been displayed in the games, but one
of the pleasantest features of the strug-
gle to-day was the fact that there was
not a harsh word passed, and there was
no slugging.
During the game, Belden for North
Carolina twice failed in his attempts at
drop kicks between the Virginia goal
posts. The condition of James Mae
Rae, of the Carolina team. who has been
the Tar-Heel star player this season, was
such that Coach Reynolds would not
allow him to enter the game. MacRae
received a terribly sprained ankle in the
Sewanee game several weeks ago, and
has been unable to play since that time.
The betting was chiefly upon the score,
Virginians offering even money that it
would be as high as 80 to O. The Caro-
linians are not downcast and feel that
their defeat was due to the poor condi-
Of Of thar

a swell ball given in their honor by the

the hands of Virginia's hospitable
