Ing on the two-yard line, Buck
Mayer was called upon to boost the
score for Virginia, and this youagstei
delivered. elbowing his way through
the left side of the line for the second
touchdown of the game. Thurman's
toe again came into play, and he sent
the leather soaring over the uprights
making the score II to 0. After this
Virginia had other opportunities to
score, but despite the fact that defeat
stared them In the face, and they knew
that the best they could possibly hope
was for q victory next season, the
plucky Carolinians never gave up, but
instead continued that same old fight
that has characterized their struggles
on the gridiron since Doggy" Trench
ard assumed the coaching reins at the
Carolina institution three years ago.
They fought as If they really thought
the game was sill young and that Dame
Fortune would yet place the wreath

overwhelming them. 1t was their

the Yale Bulldog beneath an avail
anche of touchdowns, from crossing
their goal liner The best the Caro-
iinians could possibly have hoped for
was to make formidable showing
against the eleven that had only met
/ defeat once this season and that being
at the hands Of Eddie Mahan and the
other Harvard foothallists. The show
Ing of boys from North Carolina was
a most credtahle one. and as good as
the most ardent supports of the White
and Blue could possibly have hoped
for. 1t was great showing, to- gay
! the least.
| Virginia had the superior team, and
that's why the Orange and Blue
ltriunaphed. Even the Carolina boys
acknowledged after the game that the
better team had won. The offensive
power of the tirginians was far
superior to that of the Carolinisus,
and this will be shown by the fact that
the Orange and Blue made sixteen
first down, while the Tarheeis failed
10 register a single one. This was not
due wholly to the fact that the Old
North State footballists did not gain
much ground, however, for several
times their oyeranxiety proved costly.
for just when they were about to make
the required ten yeards someone had
TO get offside and the usual five-yard
penalty was inflicted. This happened
several times. Virginia was also penal
ICED frequently, and by these infringe
inents of the rules, both elevens lost
enough ground to bury a whole army
of dead soldiers.

Although the game was not sched-
uled 10 start until gao O'Clock, as
early as ] O'Clock the football en-
thnaiasts began to pour into Broad
Street Park, and an hour later every
seat in both the grandstand and
bleachers were filled. BY the time the
game started even all the standing
room available in the park was oc-
cupied. while many people graced the
fence and viewed the struggle from
these exalted roosts.
1t was the larges. number OF peo-
pie that had ever passed through the
gates Of Broad-Street Park on any
Orc day. there being approximately
$4,000 present Others would have

cure the tickets and were forced to
wait around the street corners TO find
out the score of the ANNA. Turkey
Day Offering.
There was a goodly number OF
ieather-l unged Carollnians ocuping
seats in the grandstand and bleachers
and when their team appeared on the
field a yell rent the atm osphere as
was never heard here before. They re-
manned there untl the last sad rites

vociferously for their boys. :
