BRILLIANT OPENING
Carolina Went in Rushingly and All
Looked Bright.
VIRGINIA FOUND THE SECOND HALF EASY
q
The Terrific and Constant PIuugts of vignia's
Tackles Back Formati n Wore Out the
Lighter Team. Graves Was
Cardinals Star.
Especial to News and observer)

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 23.-University of
Virginia 23; University of North Caro-
lima, 6, was the result of the game play
ed here today.
A difference of ten pounds per man in
favor of the Virginia team decided the
game. Virginia averaged 1T pounds and
Carolina 1877.
Carolina started oft with a rush, play
ing kicking game getting the ball in
their 25 yard line, Graves kicked and
tumble gave Carolina the ball in the CEN
tire of the field. Another kick and tumble
by Coleman and Harris gave Carolina the
ball on Virginias yard line and within
three minutes of play Carolina showed
the ball over for a touch down: On the
kick off after the goal, Carolina took the
ball into Virginia's territory. and it look
ed as if Carolina would win.
The line held the plunges of Virginias S
backs and Carolina made consistent gains
for 20 minutes of play; then Virginia got
the ball on their 80 yard line and with
the simplest kind of foot ball began to
hammer the Carolina tackles for short
but constant gains, going the length OF
the field and tying the score ten min
utes before the end of the first half
Virginia played tackles back almost
exclusively with now and then an ad-
Vancing pass, which was in effect de-
layed pass pass and netted good gains
The hammering OF the Carolina line by
Virginia's heavy backs and big Walker
who usually opened the opposing line for
the runner had a decidingly weakening
effect on the Carolina team after the
first half. Virginia's weight would usual
ly carry them for 8 or yards whether
there was an opening for the runner or
not unless the Carolina ends tackled
from behind or some one broke through
the line.
The second half was easy for Virginia
the terrific and constant plunges of the
tackles back formation, wearing out the
light Carolina team. The failure of
Graves TO kick on the third down on his
own 20 yard line cost one touch down and
a disastrous tumble cost another. During
the last Is minutes, of the game Virginia.
ran around Carolina's S left end at will for
long gains. Every supporter of the Car
olina team have talked to is perfectly
satisfied with the game. 1t was remarka-
bic that such light team could score
against a team which was so much heav-
ier. Lewis Graves was the star of the
Carolina team while Walker was indis-
pensible to Virginia.
