The great weakness of the North
Carolina team was i'm the kicking de-
partment Bonner was slow in get
ting of his hcks,so that three OF them
were blocked, and they were for no
great distance. He seemed unable TO

of a strong wind behind It. and the
ball was so soon IN the hands Of an
! opposing back that they were unable
| tor un back for good gains. Not once
I did the visitors try q forward pass
but they were generally able TO punch
| past tackle and got around the ends
for a few telling gains. The midship-
men tried the forward pass frequently,
and had some success with il, but
there was on long gains. The pass
! from Blodgett TO Westphal was the
/ most successful.
