scorcicss Game Predicted.
The two elevcns were so well
matched that a scoreless game was
frequently predicted especially after
the first half had closed. North Caro-
linn had the better line, and her ends
were taller than Eirginia's, enabling
her to handle the w pass with
more success than could Virginia and
TO intercept yirgipE attempts. Ntr-
Eiuia's ends wore strong in breaking
I'M. ATTEMPTS to circle them and fast
in getting down under punts. but IN
these aspects they did not excel North
Carolina,
Honaker was very fast on his feet,
and just after Nirginia's touchdown
lie received the ball on Carolina's hfty-
yard Tine and ran 1T back forty yards,
landing on Cardinals %ten-yard line.
There the Carolina stone wall got to
working again. and Virginia lost the
ball on downs.
After several exchanges of punts
Virginia got the ball on their oppo-
nents' f~fteen-yard line, and Crawford,
standing at the twenty yard Inc boot
ed the ball over the bar and added four
more points. The u which made TINS
field goal possible was the prettiest OF
tile entire game.
The Carolinians several times essayed
the forward pass. and in the majority
OF cases pulled 1t off successfully, ad-
yancing the bali fifteen to twcnty-i five
yards at each attempt. The great mis-
take they made was in not attempting
this play o%ftener. especially when IN

Rival Songs and Ycll..
The bulk OF the crowds We're massed
on The north and south bleachers, the
grandstand being hardly more than
half filed. and around the rail. where
men We're massed four or five deep.
In the seats at the east and west ends
of the field a liberal sprinkling of men
watched the game. The mass OF the
Carolinians was stationed at the ex-
IRENE western portion of the south
stands. and this literally b|eribboned
throng contributed the Carolina en-
thusiasm and much of Its color. Coat
lapels and canes floated streamers of
light blue, and white ribbons and nu-
merous triangular banners OF the
game colors fluttered ecstatically from
the mass whenever a Carolinian threw
a Virginia runner without gain or
when q Blue and White back got
through the Orange line for a sub
stantial gain.
The Virginia partlsans massed on
the north stands. were the more nu-
merous, but maintained a dignifed
silence until some particularly good
gain was made, and then pandemoniuni

the long and short yells, and led the
crowd in songs. THE Old North State

yirGinin's Time to Sing.
After the scoreless half the Virginia
stands Were silent, but the C~arolinians
sang i~ubilantly, regarding the no-score
as q victory UP to hat time. Toward
the close of the interval. however, the
Nirginians burst into song, and were
keyed up to a high pitch OF enthusiasm
when the warriors trotted out on the
neld for what provAd the decisive half.
During this entire half Virginia was
aggressive. and maintained its aggres-
siveness to the last, playing more
strongly at the finish than at the be-
ginning of the game. Virginia out
punted Carolina, too. in this half. and
thus gained the ground that made VIC
tory possible. Usually Virginia weak
ems toward the close, but yesterday they
showed fine bottom. Toward the close
Iiullback Yapcey, whose mouth had
been mashed in ti'e stubborn tight for
the only Touchdown, and who did great
work throughout, was injured and
gave way to MacMurdo. He was
,heered to the echo by the Virginia
contingent as he retired reluctantly to
the side .line. But the game had been
won, and he was not needed.
At the beginning Of the game the
rarolinians We're asking and receiving
odds, though many even money bets
were made. AS the half progressed
e was even money thereafter. Vir-
sinia played defensively for the first
ten minutes OF play, testing the
ptrength OF the Carolina ofense, and
punting on first down several times.
The Carolinians advanced the bali

but We're unable to penetrate the Wiz
sinia line. Virginia then got the ball
on her forty-yard line and tried her
own offensive power. Crawford. Hon
aker, Neff and Yancey took turns in
advancing the ball, and aided by 4
tifteen-yard penalty against Carolina
and a beautiful forward pass TO right
end landed the ball on Cardinals five
yard line. With first down and only
FIVE yards TO go, the Virginia backs
could carry the ball no further than
four yards, and yielded 1t on downs.
