In Game with v. Carolina Also Showed It's Exceences

Shows It Has Dangerous Powers.

Chapel Hill. Oct Sin the game
with the virginia Military Institute
here Saturday, the North Carolina
football team revealed fully its weak
nesses a. we'll a. It's excellencies at the
present time. Once the team got down
to play there was no question about
the fact that Carolina this year has
possibilities for q winning team. But
Just as in the Georgia game q week
ago, the first few minutes proved
disastrous.
The Cadets started into the game
with a jump. q thing which Carolina
certainly aid not do, and made two
touchdowns before the TarhAels re-
allied what had happened. The ease
and speed with which Carolina made
her first touchdown also left an un-
fortunate impression.
During tho nrst quarter the tackling
of the Blue and White was far below
standard. Half dozen men had an
opportunity to get Bertschey and
Leech on their long runs, but the
feeble tackling was of no avail.
It must be said in 1ustice. however.
that when once aroused, Carolina
showed her latent power. The line

and remained away for a period OF
four months.
Mrs. Smith pleaded hard for her
husband and asked that he be for
given. She declared that she had ST.

and that her husband when he left,
had not taken any of her money or

her plan for a national observance OF

Jarvis propaganda had progressed so
far that Philadelphia celebrated the
day in church and home, although
Miss. Jarvis herself. when the day ar
rived. was too III TO participate in
the celebration.
She had written thousands of let
ters to prominent men. ministers.
educators and business men. She had
said little about il. however. and her
friends who did not realize the extent
Of her work were surprised at the
wide observance OF the first Mothers
Day.
For Miss Jarvis had prevailed on

the second Sunday in May be created
