weakening. and two Of their number had
retired. completely exhausted, from the
contest.
The game was on It's merits. but for
all that luck played a conspicuous part,
North Cardinals second score being made
after disastrous tumble by the North
Carolina quarter back. Before the Caro-
Iinians recovered from tho rattles, Su-
pelinduced by this tumble, Rourke, the
big Georgetown guard, after being appa-
rcntly stopped. was allowed to get through
the line, and ran fifty yards for the sec
ond touchdown. Cardinals only score was
made few minutes after play began
by pretty goal dropped from the TWEEN
ty-nve-yard line by Graves Carolina
rushed the heavy Georgetown line from
the centre Of the field back to their own
goal. or TO within two yards Of it, but
there they failed to make the necessary
six feet, and lost The ball on downs With
this opportunity lost, they never again
had SO good an opportunity to score.
The Georgetown line was apparently
ten pounds heavier to the man than their
opponents. and their back field was even
more Extraordinarily heavier. They

plays against Carolina, varying them with
ackles, back formations. and with a
tort OF boring, wh:rling mass play, which
the Carolina boys seemed utterly unable
to stop at critical times. Carolina gains

runs; but when aroused they bored holes

OF policy Georgetown tried the delayed
pass once for a good gain, and made at
least Ole very good end run. Generally

formations and simple superiority OF

For Carolina, Graves was the bright
particular star, and though the lightest
man on either team by many pounds
made many OF his teams best gains,
and scored on the drop kick for goal. ia
