was played at the Fair Grounds yester-
day afternoon in the present of about
eight hundred spectators.
The opposing teams were the A. and M.
College and the University of South Car
olina. South Carolina defeated the Uni
versity of Tennessee "a to 0, and few
days back defeated Davidson 2 to 1,
hence they were quite sanguine when they
trotted on the field yesterday.
In the first haf South Carolina scored
on long run by Lyman, but in the sec
ond half the A and M. never allowed the
South Carolina boys to make their dis
lance so fierce did the Tar Heels play.
It was a beautiful game full of snap
and ginger, each man working hard, and
doing his part. a. and M. ought to have
defeated the palmetto boys by larger
score for many times the A. and NJ. boys
were on South Cardinals 5, 10 and 10
yard line RESPECTIVELY, but to was the
winning score.
The stars for the A. and NJ. were Gard
ner, Asbury, WEIGH. Sefert and Miller,
Gardner went into the game with lame
knee, but played star bal and when the
boys saw old Max line up with the team
in red and white they were sure of vic
tory as Max is one of the best tackles
in the South When the pig skin is put
III his trust it goes the required distance
over any team.
For South Carolina Wyman, oliver,
Gunter played a star game. Wyman made
