TARHEELS TIE UP
WITH BLUE AND GRAY
In Loosely Played Game,
Darkness Calls Halt With
Score 6 to 6.

A dreary, tirecome, loosely played game
of foot ball marked the annual contest
between the elevens of Georgetown ana
the University of North Carolina yester-
day afternoon at the West End grounds.
which eventually ended in a tie, to d,
the contest being called a little before u
o'clock, when it was almost too dark for
even the officials to see the various plays
as they were pulled off. The game was a
disappointment in every respect. except

hibited fer the sake OF their respective
alma matters With the possible exception
of the first eight minutes of play, when
Georgetown succeeded in getting the jump
on the Tarheels and scored their only
TOUCHDOWN. and ten minutes play in the
second half there was no foot ball which
could be classed as anything better than
the variety seen upon preparatory school
field.
Fumbling at opportune and inopportune
times predominated the headless running
of the two teams at crucial moments,
when a probable score was in sight, stupid
running and high tacklinS marked the
contest all the way through. In addition
there was no end TO the wrangling the
field, and shortly after play began there
was delay of fully fifteen minutes. when
North Carolina decided there We're two
referees and no umpire on the field. Coach
Greene insisted that the game start all
over again. This WIS pronounced inn

was Mr.. Givens esraciously- giving into
