Not Between Regulars.

The Sandhill Fair manage
ment had advertised that a foot
ball game would be played at
the Fair at Pinehurst this Thurs
day. afternoon between State
College and Davidson. This
would seem to convey the i'm
preston that the first teams or
Regulars of those institutions
were to be pltted against each
other. AS a matter of fact, the
game was between. the State
College Freshmenand Davidson
Scrubs.
The Fair management doubt
less did not intend to misrepre-
sent the game, but nevertheless
it caused many people to think
they were going to see the regu-
lar first teams in action. Fortu-
nately for many local folks who
intended seeing the game, the
true nature Of the game was
found out in time.
