and Brown, Of washington and Lee,
acted as head liflesman.
| Large Crowd ON Hand.
There were nearly 1000 people on
hand 70 witness the slaughter. Prob
ably this isn't literally TRUE, for ccr-
tafnly one-third OF the crowd was
composed of Carolina supporters, who
were sadly disappointed OF the result.
The reports from the Carolina camp
had been 80 optimistic and the reports
from Blacksburg so to the opposite
that there is little wonder that even
the ardent followers OF the soldier
boys were surprised.
Illa weather was all that could have
been desired for fast football Before
the game BococK was heard to say that
! 1t was his kind of weather. 1t was
When the Carolina team came on tho
field slightly in advance of the Techs
there was a cheer. When tie Techs
| trotted out on the field there were
cheers. Naturally, the boys from
Blacksburs were In the home OF their
| friends. 4
Carolina Plays Desperately.

DINA. kicked to the Techs ten-yard
line, and from that time on there was
| no cessation of hostiiities Carolina
never knew that she was beaten. The
men wearing tho "v' of the Old North
State kept up the fight until the last
second of play. True, they played with
| the desperation OF despair, byt 1t was
nevertheless good to watch the way
they came back from time to time,
showing more than once a dash and
brilliancy of attack that swept tho
Blacksburg contingent off its feet.
Porter slugs Hodgson.
! Thc one marring incident OF the
game cdfne in the second quarter. when
Porter. the star full back of the Car
olinians, siugged V. B. Hodgson. The
smuggling was perceptible from any
part of the field. and Referee Williams
was quick to deal out summary pun
ishmcnt Porter was put out of the
game. Apparently he was not satisfied,
for when Barry went to tho sidelines
the lighting full back attempted TO
strike the official. He was quickly
subdued and forced retire to the
players bench. Chambers was sent In
as substitute.
II was apparent that Carolina out
w
and Maroon crowd for moment lost
heart. In preliminary signal practice
before the game Carolina also looked
to be mighty fast. There Is but one
explanation of the defeat, and that is
that v. p. l. played the best game.
Tho line was adamant itself on defen-
sive, and simply bowled over the Blue
and White defense when the Blacks
burg backs were carrying the ball.
Carolina Lacked Team Work.
AS stated in this paper before. Caro-
lima lacked team work. Captain
Thompson. Belk. Rufiin and Gaines
each played brilliant individual foot
ball. but when 1t came to the pinches
the defense was lacking and the man
with the ball was left to hos his own
! row. Brides Is certainly up against
hard proposition. There arc too many
stars on the team.
Blacksburg. on the other hand.
played as one man. Little Hughes.
with his column right" and column
left" seemed to Undue each man with
but one desire. and that was to reach
the opponents goal by any means.
Many times the Techs were penalized.
but never did they stop. Old football
players looked on the attacking for
wards OF the Orange and Maroon with
pleasure. recalling olden times. f. II,
Legge. w. r. Legge. Derby, Captain
Hodgson. and, in fact. every man on
the team. shone brightly. 1t was a.
great day for the Blacksburg team.
BIncksburE Outclasscs Carolina.
In running back punts, in Kicking,
in defensive work and in carrying the
ball. v. P. I. clearly outclassed Caro-
lima. There never was stage of the
game when the Tech goal was in dan
ger. The play was In Carolina ter
ritory practically all of the time. Tho
terrible punting ability of Relk was
not evidenced. He kicked we'll, but SO
did Legge. It was case OF the best
team winning.
The officials were good; in fact,
the best. taken as a whole. officiating
in game here this season. With the
exception of the one incident already
mentioned the game was clean and
fast throughout The feature of the
game was the attacking power OF the
Techs. tt was impossible to stop them.
Every manoeuvre was successful, and
time and again were the Carolina ends
circled, or gaping holes made in the
lire through which the backs would
rush for appreciate gains.
Hughes Played Like Veteran.
Hughes, at quarter, ran his team
with precision and Judgment of a
veteran But it remained for sixteen
year. old Legge to perforn4the greatest
feat OF it's KIND ever witnessed at Broad
Street Park. In the early stages OF
the second quarter with the ball on
Cardinals forty-iive-yard line. he drop
ped BACK for held goal The Tech
line held like stone wall. Squarely
between the goal posts the leather
went for the. first score Of the game
Then the cheering really began.
Many of tho spectacular features Of
a football game were missing. The
college songs and yells were conspicu-
Gus by their absence This was due to
the fact that few students Of either of
the two great schools were in attend
