NORFOLK, VA. Nov. 24-Vlrslhia ue-
feated North Carolina here this afternoon
| nv a score of II to 0. The game was Played
at the Baseball Park, and was "i,lesseu
bv five thousand people. 1o-hishl NJ
| folk belongs to Virginia, and they are
i, f,,I1 nossession of their property.
rio came was one of intense interest
| from start to finish and was replete with
| hrllia Mt PLAYS made by both elevens. rms
i was the first time in two years these
| teams nave met so the game which oe-
| cides the championship of the South was
| one in which there was great interest,
| and had been discussed in football circies
| for weeks past. 1t awoke the old rivalry
! which has existed between the two lnstl-
tutions ever since the game has been
| PLAYED by them, and yesterday 1t seemed
| TO fave been aroused with new v!gor from
its sleep, and burst on the citizens OF Nor
| folk in a storm of wild enthusiasm, which
| swept all before it.
| Business was in a measure SUSPENDED
| and from every point come the colese
yels. All. old and young alike, joined in'
| and the day was a novel experience LOT
| the citizens of Norfolk, who had never
| before entertained Varsity elevens and
| their followers
| The teams were quartered at the Month
cello, which upon their arrival, became
! football headquarters. That hostelry was
| thronged with ''rooters, and rang with
T! yels and college songs.
| The Stonewall Band, of Staunton, ac-
| companied the Eirg MIA team, and in the
| continuous impromptu programme running
| day and night in the hotel lobby, took
| leading part.
| Money was plenty. and above all could
be heard the cry Carolina money, ''Vir-
| ginia coin" Betting ran very irregular,
some giving odds on Virginia and others
| on North Carolina
| Towards the beginning OF the game it
| became more even, and many bets at
| even money Were placed
! Every train and boat coming into Nor
| felix to-day brought crowds. and there
| were fully two thousand visitors in town
before o'clock, when the march towards
| the field began. The train from Rich
| mond and Petersburg arrived a little after
| II o'clock, with eight coaches filled with
wearers of the Orange and Blue, who
soon made known their presence in the
| city.
| In the balconies at the Monticello were
! gathered crowds of beautiful girls. who
| bore the flags and wore the colors OF their
| favorite elevens. The orange and blue OF
| Virginia predominated here. but in the
! 0urging mass below there were as many
packers of Carolina as of Virginia.
| THOUSANDS SAW IT.
Long before the game began everything
! and everybody seemed to be on the move
toward the field. street-cars Were scarce.
and those operating We're crowded to srffo-
cation. Thousands walked, and hundreds
Of others less energetic. rode in cabs,
wagons and carts. In short, "ary old
thing with Wheels was pressed into ser
i vice and went to form a most motley
caravan.
The grandstand. beacHers and side
yaJ- ~
time the game was begun fully five thou
sand persons surrounded the field. The
scene was one imposing. Frags, ribbons,
canes and hats We're in the air. A glance
over the side-lines reminded one Of a tenn
| pest in brilliant flower garden.
The familiar yell Of "Old L: Va" rang
out, close followed by fiutter of white
and blue. and North Carolina would be
! heard from.
God bless Old U. Va" would for a
time cause hush. which would be but a
calm before the pending storm of gene
| raj wells and songs.
