NORFOLK, Oct. 2i.-About 1000 peo-
pie, divided in sentiment, stood in wind
and rain at Lafayette Field this after
noon and saw Georgetown Hex North
Carolina to the tune OF SO 10 Q.
The Tarheels were hardly In 1t a
minute. Sometimes they put up fair re-
slstance. but their aggressive tactics
amounted TO little up against the strong,
heavy aggregation from Georgetown.
So fierce were the onslaughts upon the
North Carolina line that three men were
forced to retire from the game-three
good and tried men-Wrignt. left end:
Jacocks. right half back. and the left
half back.
Only one man went to the side line
from Georgetown. and he simply did so
to make room for the Great Reilly
Reilly did not go In on the start, pre-
ferring to give Cromiey little exercise
at lett half, so he himself could size up
tho North Carolina players, and then,
when he did go In early in the first half.
he knew all the weak points, and was
responsible for about all the good plays
inGthat half and nearly all in the second
NERE tOU1SlIASSEU.
Not one of the North Carolina players
did anything to distinguish himself. al
though Jacocks and Mann tried hard to
make the teams work res nit In a good
showing. AS full team the Tarheels
did occasionally make gains, but In nearly
every instance Georgetown recovered the
ball before any material advance was
made, and before the team from the Old
North State realized what had happened.
Seldom did Georgetown lose the ball on
downs. They did lose 1t on kicks from
back and In each instance the loss Of
the ball was made because the team had
been penalized for On-hde play. The
kick was then tried, because the captain
realized that 1t would he pretty hard to
gain the lost ground on downs, and pre-
ferred to let the Carolin.ans get 1t on a
kick, and then regain possession again
ON downs.
AN AWFUL DAY.
A sight Of the skies and the field sent a
sickening chill through the overcoats Of
those who had to be in attendance upon
the game. The wind blew most of the
time from the north and south, and all
the time from the east and west, and the
drizzling rain sank deep into ones sys-
tenn as he stood out in it and tried hard to
dodge the wind.
In face OF all this, however. with occa-
sional drenching showers, when the crowd
hoped the clouds would open up and spill
all their contents at once and have done
with it, there were several hundreds of
ladies out to see what was to be seen.
although as regards favorites they were
neutral, and many of them wore the COM
bned colors of the two teams.
Reilly, the big halfback of Georgetown.
figured one way or another In every play
made by his team after he went in, ex-
cept in the last touchdown.
SENSATIONAL PLAY.
This touchdown was the sensational
play of the game. Robertson had just
kicked off for North Carolina. 1t was a
god kick, and the ball sailed low down
the field to within about ten yards of the
goal. Then no followed his comrades
down after the ball. Hart caught 1t, and
with the pigsiin tucked under his left
arm, ran for the Carolina goal like a
streak of fguratve lightning.
1t was getting dark. One could scarcely
see the faces of the players, and the new
rules changing the goals had confused
many OF the spectators, Hart darted
through the barricade that the Cnroinians
had endeavored to build up before him.
He found a clear field and was rapidly
Getting dangerously close to the opposite
goal.
The crowd yelled. Most of the people
i
running through the gloom and rain and
wind, and they cheered him on. Down.
donw the field he ran,oand as he neared
goal the crowd held Its breath In the en-
element of the moment. Even the play
crs behind him paused In admiration and
wonder.
The runner had cleared all the players,
he thought, and 1t looked like bucSwheat
cakes and honey for a touchdown But
there was, still an obstacle that he VOTED
not,
Robertson, the Tar Heel full back, was
Johnnie on the spot, He rushed after the
speeding Hart, and right on tile two
yard line downcd the runner In his
tracks. 1t was but q momentary decay,
however, for on the next snap Martell
carried the ball over for a touchdown,
tho last, and the fierce 'noreaster that
was bowling across the country prevents
cd Carroll from kicking goal.
Georgetown worked all along North
Carolina's line. and found 1t quite easy
nj any point. Some of the mass plays
were hard to so through, and the GEORGE
towns worked the double pass With Hart
and Reilly as the operators
THE FIRST HALF.
The halves were for thirty and twenty
minutes, respectively. North Carolina
p'csed the best wind, Newton kicked
off. In a series of scrimmages, George
town was penalzed and lost tlleEl,all on
