BIC. FOOTBALL GAME.
Carolina Will Play Georgia for
Championship.
Personnel of the Cardinals Team. A Great
Game is Expected and Large Crowd
viii Witness the Game.

There will be a great football game in
Raleigh next Friday, one of the big games
of the South. On that day the University
of North Carolina and the University of
Georgia will contest for the championship
of the South. The game win be played
at the Fair Grounds and great prepara-
tions are being made for the accommo-
dation Of the crowds that will go to see
the struggle, for there is great interest
in the event among all the adherents of
both colleges, and all interested in ath-
letics, for it is the great game of the
season in the South.
For the past two years, Carolina has
won this game, in '98 by the score of $50,
and in $50 by the close score of 80. The
closeness of this last game makes the re-
suit of Fridays game delightfully."- UNI
certain. Both Universities claim to have
crack elevens this year. The Carolina
boys say that the practice games with the
scrub team show splendid work on the
part Of the regular team, but that they
have been obliged to cancel nearly all of
their State games, on account of the con-
flict between the laws of the State Ath-
letic Association and the intercollegiate
Athletic Association. This is a draw
back, they say, as it deprives the team
of good practice. The only game played
by Carolina was against the Deaf and
Dumb College of Morganton, and that re-
suited in a victory for the University by
score of $50. The team is coached by
Will Reynolds, of Princeton.
From last years eleven, Osborne, end;
Bennett, tackle; Rankin, guard; Martin,
quarter; and Graves, full, are back in
their old positions, except possibly Mar
tin. ]. c. McRae, the star half-back in
'98 is with Carolina again this year.
The new men are all doing we'll The
most probable Varsity men are: Phifer,
and Brem, right guard; Foust, tackle;
Carr, Oldham, Berkely, and Ebbs, behind
the line; Council, center; Smathers, Nc
liver and Cudger, end; Makely and Graves,
quarter
The Friday following the Georgia game,
the team will play Virginia in Norfolk.
DECIDED IN FAVOR OF OAK RIDGE.
1t is remembered that in the game
of football at Ook Ridge, October IL, A.
and NJ College played two players,
Messrs. Dalton and Worth over the pro-
test of Oak Ridge, but both teams agreed
to friendly reference of the eligibility
of the two men to the proper authorities
of the North Carolina Athletic Associa-
ton of Schools and Colleges, which has
just rendered it's decision sustaining the
protest of DIRK Ridge. The game there
fore goes to Oak Ridge by forfeit, though
the committee does not seem TO have
passed upon this point.
Oak Ridge will play second game in
Raleigh next week. The team is also
expecting games with Homer between this
and thanksgiving day.
Guilford and Oak Ridge will play in
Greensboro thanksgiving day.
THE A. AND M. TEAM WAS ROBBED.
To the Editor:-In justice to the A. and
NJ College l wish you would please
state in your paper that Jennings, of Waf-
ford College, who refereed the game with
the University of South Carolina, robbed
the A. and NJ. College of safety, ruled
out the end plays which were used in
every game this season by the Carlisle
Indian team, misinterpreted the rules to
benefit the South Carolina team, and this
once when their coach told Jennings he
was wrong.
Yours truly,
JOEL d. WHITAKER.
