from every standpoint to let the colored

VIRTUAL CAROLINA VICTORY.
Virginia's Confidence Staggered by Tar Heel
Strength. That Made Her Stare
(Special to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Richmond, Va, Nov 27.-The result of
the game is virtual Carolina victory.
Virginia was confident of a score of 90
or 80 to 0, and bets of to / and to 1
We're made that Virginia would win and
bets of to 1 and even money that Car
olina would not score a touch down.
After ten minutes of play, Virginia's
surprise at Carolina's strength was
amusing Cardinals line held we'll and
took the ball from Virginia on downs
whenever their goal became endangered,
while Carolina's backs could make con-
sstent gains through Virginia's line es-
pecially Virginia's center, which finally
resulted in a touch down after % min
utes of play.
In the second half Virginia took
wonderful brace. and hammered Caro-
lina's line to pieces with their heavy
backs and tackles scoring two touch
downs on tackles back and mass plays
on tackle. Carolina then took a brace
and hammered Virginia's line out of
shape. scoring its second touch down
four minutes before time was called.
Outside of the first twenty minutes of
the second half Carolina outplayed Vir-
ginia at every point. During these
twenty minutes Virginia outplayed Car
olina at every point. 1t was straight
football all the time of the same style
of play by both sides, the modern Yale
game, Olcott coaching Carolina and De
Saulles coaching Virginia The teams
were as evenly matched as it was pos
sible for them to be. and they played
each other to a standstill.
Council, tackle on Carolina last year,
played at least half of Virginias game,
and he and Harris did most of head
ground gaining The Carolina team was
an all star combination. The game it
self is probably the best that will be
played by any of the colleges. large or
small, this season.

high handed and successful piece of rob-
berry in the history of Moore county was
perpetrated here this morning about one
o'clock when two professional safe
crackers dynamited the safe of Watson
and Godfrey, stole $4,000 in money and
$4,000 in North Carolina bonds and made
their escape.
For day or two two strangers have
been in Jonesboro. Nobody knew their

watch was set upon their movements.
pie heard a noise that sounded like the
explosion of big pop-cracker. 1t woke
up some people. Ordinarily it would
have called for Investigation, but on the
previous night, as the people were going
to bed, there was more than the usual
noise caused by some young men and
boys celebrating Thanksgiving. When
the explosion was heard the folks who
heard it said to themselves, "The boys
are making more fuss than usual"
turned over and went to sleep again. And
they did not know that this town was
the scene of a great robbery until six
o'clock this morning.
The first discovery was made by
young man. Mr.. McKoy, of Harnett coun-
