Richmond, Va, Nov. 6.-Too much
Bobby Gooch was the answer in today'i
big football battle between Virginia and
North Carolina. In which the Orange and
Blue triumphed over their rivals, 20 tc
J. Both Capt. Mayer and Gooch ended
their football career at Virginia in q
blaze of glory, the pair being in the
main responsible for all the scoring. with
the exception OF a field goal kick by
Tandy. Cardinals sterling center.
Virginia's three touchdowns were al
scored by line plunges after Gooch and
Mayer had placed the ball within scor'
ing distance by spectacular runs of from
) TO 70 yards.
Goochs one mispIay just after the first
kickoff. sent the Carolina roOters wild.
He missed Tayloe's punt on Virginia's 90
yard line where HomewoOd fell on the
ball for the Tarheels.
Ten yards was the best the Blue and
White were able make against Vir-
ginia's heavy line and a sigh of relief
came from the east stand as Tandy' &
attempt at a field goal went a triie wide
of the posts.

20-yard line before the end OF the first
quarter. Tandy. however. suffered a sim
liar fate in his second attempt to drop
kick
At this point Virginia took a brace
and Gooch and Mayer. in a series Of zig
gag runs through the line. put the ball
on Carolina's 1-yard line. Mayer car
ried 1t over for the first score. Barker
kicked an easy goal.
A few minutes after the kick-oR, Win
stOn made one of the longest runs OF
the game around Virginin's right end.
Mayer stopping him on the Orange and
Blues 2O-yard line. Three attempts 10
gain failed and on the fourth down,
Tandy scored points for his team with
a beautiful goal.
Virginia scores Often.
The play was almost entirely in Caro-
lima S territory throughout the second
half. Virginia scoring a touchdown In
each quarter. II was in leading up to
these scores that Bobby Gooch gave one
OF the most brilliant exhibitions OF Of
fensive playing ever seen in the South.
AS far as modern football was con-
cerned. the contest was very much OF a
pass was completed by either team and
a great many, 1t seemed that Carolina
used poor judgment in trying so many
field goals, when in Orange and Blue ter
ritory. rather than the pass. This was
particularly noticeable since Virginia had
scored a touchdown.
Although defeated. Carolina showed
flashes and did not fail to fight at
any time. Winston was their one con-
sistent ground gamer. sharing honors
with Tahdy and Homewood, who were
q stonewall on the defense. The whole
Carolina line seemed to race when her
goal line was threatened. but on several
occasions IT came too late.
Capt. Mayer, besides making two OF
his teams scores, also backed up the
line in fine style. and on several occa-
siOns prevented a Carolina runner from
getting loose.
Today's victory undoubtedly gives Vir-
giniG clear title to the Southern cham
pionship and the $50 or more students
who came from Charlottesville will ccle-
brate tonight.
4 crowd of 12,OOO persons witnessed the
game, a good number being turned away
at the gate. and setting the high water
mark in attendance.
An unusual incident took place between
the halves, when Gov. Craig. OF North
Carolina, made a short speech to the Blue
and White squad.
