Bv LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

Today Washington receives it's
first football thrills of the 1915
season. North Carolina, Virginia's
pincira! opponent, visits the Hilltop
for a gridiron battle with the Blue
and Gray, conquerors of the Navy
The game is scheduled to commence
at 3 o'clock, and large attendance
is expected, owing to the promi,
nence of the Tar Heels in South At
lantic football circles.
Though Georgetown is claiming a
victory before the first whistle
blow, down below is discovered a
feeling that the Carolina poys may
fool the experts. Meanwhile, the Tar
Heels, who arrived here this morn
ing from Chapel Hill, are saying
only that they expect to make a
good fight for the honors.

Gray hosts. 'If our work against the
Middles counts for anything. we should
win. The team Is In good condition
and ready for anything"

tain and star halfback OF the Tar Heels
and We hope to give Georgetown a
harder game than 1t evxpects. We are

to offer II we are defeated.
Today's game will provide football
enthusiasts with their only real meani
of comparing Virginia and Georgetown
this season. North Carolinas biggest
battle is with Virginia at Richmond or
Turkey Day. No other team on Vir.
