Another chapter was added 20 the
weeks series of drawn sridircn battles
yesterday when North Carolina, after
being swept of its feet IN The first 1--WE
minutes OF play tOI touchdown, came
back with a rush, crossed George tuWu $
goal and held the West Enc squad
scoreless for the rest Of the same,
Score. 10 @.
The FIRST nalf yesterday presented one
OF the most complete rCvers5is OF form
on the part OF the visitors ever seen
on GEORGETOWN Field. The TarheeIs
went on the field without their rabbit
foot In five minutes. before they had "a
chance to get their breath Georgetown

CaroIinians Injected every ounce OF
fighting spirit they possessed into theft
work and by consistent use or old foot

team.
Who's Who, and Why?

was progressing without an umpire.
While Georgetown was crashing through
CarOIina's line for big gains the pair

more weighty question of who was
who, and why kilograms which no
one could produce played a stellar
role. Greene claimed, and II must ne

Another glaring criticism of the man

way the fault of the Georgetown au-
th0rities, but viii be if il happens again,
was the unheard-of crOWdlHg on the

That ample provision for such con-

of bluecOats on the field. But the min

Standing out, head and shoulders

little short of phenomenal In the early
part Of the game he was aided by splen-

It is the consensus of opinion thar
Georgetown missed its beEl chance 10
