Record This Season.

The game of football to be played
here today between the Universities of
this State and Georgia promises to be
one of the finest that has ever been
played in the State. The game begins
promptly at o'clock. DR.. Joel Whit
aker will referee the game and Prof
Hubbard, of the A. and M. College,
will umpire.
The Carolina team which, it is said
IS composed exclusively of North Car
olinians for the first time in it's his
tory, has just completed a long trip,
during which it played three Of the
foremost institutions of the South, and
met never a defeat, though in two in
stances it tied. The University of
Georgia has also done some excellent
work, and has a strong team in the
field.
A large number of rooters will be
here from Durham on the morning
train.
Hirsch at center of the Geor-
gia team is new at the game
and weighs only IT'S pounds, but is a
hard worker. Putnam, right guard, is
an experienced, heavy player. He is
strong ON defence. Swanson, the other
guard, is a new man but is one of the
best i'll the line. Monk and Gordon
are steady tackles, both on offense and
defense. Baxter and Ridley are II
swift pair of ends. Ridley does the
punting for the team. Dorsey at
quarter weighs only 40 pounds, but
possesses a clear head and handles the
ball Clearly. Dickinson and Captain
McCutchen will probably play right
and left halfback. Both are swift,
hard-running and hard bucking backs.
Hewlette at fullback is a veteran play
er. He is a terrific linebucker and a
fine defensive player.

University of Tennessee when Logan,
w. of Tennessee's eleven, kicked a
Yoal from the field.

ed 1000 miles: played three of the

cd unscathed.

will 90 to Norfolk on the oath to meet
her old rival. Virginia, where the final
