Carolina full back. fumbled It, and a Nir-
I ginia player was at once in the little
scrimmage. 1t was thought at first that
the Carolina player had lost the bail TO
his opponent In which event the play
would have been touchdown for Viz
ginia. But such was not the case, and
tho great roar from the Virginia rooters
was all In vain, for the bail was brought
back TO the twenty-five yard line.
During nearly all Of the first half. Vir-
ginia kept the ball in Cardinals territory.
and several times il went dangerously
near the goal line OF the blue and white.
Carolina by clever end runs. and hard
rush-line work. with an occasional kick
managed to work the ball back into Vr-
sinia territory for some distance. The
Virginia ends were doing superb work,
while the backs hit the line hard. Cap
tain Rogers, Of Carolina, kept sending his
backs around the Virginia ends for gains
but these were all short with now and
then considerable advantage. Nir-
ginia was then working hard. She saw
she had her hanG' fun and the Carolina
team was stronger than she bargained
for
Get at 'em. Virginia" yelled the
orange and blue rooters. while the Caro-
lima sympathizers begged the blue and
white 10 "eat EN- up"
HOWELLS GREAT RUN.
IL remained for Howell TO create the
great sensation Of the day. He had been
put in McRaes place Howell was play
ing the fastest ball Of any man on the
fell. lie had made a dozen desperate
rushes around the ends for gains. and
Martin and Lloyd were watching him
close II was exactly 1924 O'Clock when
Howell seized the ball and with the ef-
fort Of his life plunged through Nir-
ginias left end for a great run. Davis
and Templeman and Martin and all OF
them tried TO stop him. but he got through
the whole line some way or other eluded
four and carried the ball over the line
Tor touchdown. Then pandemonium
broke loose in the Carolina camp. Wear
ers OF the blue and white brushed aside |
officers and all and made a break for |
Howell They Rugged him and kissed |
him and rode him around the grounds
on their shoulders and went half crazy ]

grounds.
1t took about twenty minutes for the |
teams to get to work again, and then
Koehler got in some fine gains around !
the ends. and Virginia commenced 70 play |
wi. desperation Her line work i'm |
proved. and she made tandems that went /
through the Carolina line for short gains. !
Carolina was now on the defensive. Nir- |
ginia appeared 70 bring her backs into !
st-oas action. She did not kick 50 often |
and fell back on her mass plays now and |
then fer short gains. BY these she |
worked the ball steadily towards the |
Carolina goal while the blue and white 1
made several ugly fumbles. Nearer and |
nearer went the ball towards the Caro-
lima goal until II reached the ten-yard |
line.
