THANKSGIVING FOOTBALL.
CafOllnlanS go up Against VlrglnianS
at Norfolk and Richmond,

Over twenty-five thousand people
witnessed the two Carolina football
games in Virginia Thanksgiving day
NORFOLK GAME.
Before crowd of twelve thous-
and spectators, A. & M. defeated V.
P. l. today 6 to 5. The game was
one of the fercest ever seen on a
Southern gridiron.
All day trains poured into Nor
folk from Carolina and Virginia
towns until the crowd at the game
was estimated at twelve thousand.
Two-thirds of the crowd were" Down
Homers" and waved the red and
white banners most enthusiastically.
The weather was ideal, being per-
haps slightly warm for the best kind
of football game. The A. & M.
special train from Raleigh, composed
of twelve cars filled to overfowing,
reached here at 1 p. m. About 300
students headed by the magnificent
cadet band, paraded the streets of
Norfolk and wound up at the Fair
fax hotel with a street concert.
Governor Glenn and party from
Raleigh arrived on the special. and
after luncheon at the Fairfax, oc-
cupied box at the game in the mid
die section and were most interested
spectators.
Governor Glenn warmly congratu-
lated the boys after the game on
such a manly, fair and clean game.
he said that he was prouder than
ever that he was Tar Heel and from
a State that could produce such

RICHMOND GAME.

In the presence of about twelve
thousand enthusiastic supporters of
the rival universities, Virginia won
the victory over Carolina by the
overwhelming score of 81 to O in the
great Thanksgiving football game
played on the Broad Street Park
gridiron this afternoon. Five touch
downs, four goals and one safety tell
the story Of the score. Virginia's
fast and fierce backfeld was too
much for the men of the white and
blue, but though it was from the
first apparent that the orange and
blue would triumph, the plucky Tar
Heels never let up one toto on the
fierceness Of their play. Indeed
they showed up far better in the Sec
ond half than in the first half, while
in the second Virginia scored only
six points and those were added by
pure stroke of luck that let Staun-
ton through the line with almost a
clear field between him and the goal
line.
There was the usual enthusiastic
crowd present, and the field was a
solid mass of color.-News and OBJ
