Yards and grounded forward pass.
Lowe tried n field goal. The bah
sailed outside. the post by few
inches.
Tho Carolina put up n remarkably
strong defense, breaking through
time and again to throw Virginia
players for a loss.
In puntinE the advantage was. per-
haps. with Virginia by IA shade. one
time Rhinchart, who was NirEinia's
particular star, made a net gain of
seventy yards with Il long low punt
that went over the Carolina back
field.
Carolina completed seven out OF
fourteen forward passes, and Virginia
completed five out of thirteen. Carolina
outplayed Virginia on the whole. but
by so narrow a margin that the re-
suit WAS uncertain until the last
whistle blew.
Johnson Makes Good Gains.
Wilfred /. Johnson. the player about
whom there ragged u furious dispute
during the three days before the
game. made many handsome gains,
both in running back punts, and In
accepting forward passes from Lowe.
lie did not dominate the game In any
such fashion as he did the Carolina
V. NJ I. game in Richmond, and IN
deed his performance today was not
as spectacular as that of Lowe. For
It was Lowe who made tie only touch
down. and he did 1t by run, which
was longer than any made by the
half back whom the crowd expected
to be the principal point winner.
There was nothing of new football
in this run by the Carolina captain.

end as might have been made twenty
years ago. He simply took the ball

he upon whom most of the spectators
had their eyes fixed. And few except
those who see football games often,
paid attention to tho magnificent In
reference that made the gain posSi-
bic. 1t was play in which the
whole team took part, MCGEE ana

Virginia end, Niche, from the affair.
Virginia Wins TOSS.
Virginia won the toss and lined up
to defend the west goal. with the ao-
vantage of light wind.
Oppleman caught loves kick-ofr
on the twenty-yard line and was
downed with a slight gain. Virginia
being unable to gain the REQUIRED
ten yards, punted to Carolina's FORTY
yard line. Carolina. TOO, was driven
to punt. 1t was then that Virginia
began the advance. which proved to
be the best she achieved during the
entire afternoon. Rinchart, Witt and
Oppleman ran the ball from Virginia I,
thirty-siN to Carolinn's twenty-eight-
yard line. There Carolina held last,
and Clarke dropped back for Il try ut
goal. The ball went straight between
the posts. and the scoro was Vir-
ginia. 3, Carolina. 0.
From then OIL, except for Lowe =
score in the second quarter. the game
was a scesaw. For the spectators. IL
was n delight, because puntS and
forward passes abounded. Thus play
was far more in the open than 1t is
III most games. Clark's field goal
meant that IL touchdown would put
Virginia in the lead, and so evenly
matched were the teams that the
crowd was never sure that IL touch
down would not be made. Once OPP
pienln, catching n forward pass, uu-
tangled himself from the tumble
about him and seemed to be started
for the goal. But Carolina player.
coming from the side, nailed him.
Another time Rhinchart almost got
away.
Rhinehart and Burge did spcctacu-
Var work for Virginia. The Virginia
captains height marked him SO mat

Chapel Hill is noisy with jubilation
tonight. But there is a quality about
1t that makes il different from the
ordinary celebration of victory. Along
with piaudits for their own team, stu
dents are cheering on the streets for
Virginia, too, for they feel admira-
tion for the spirit of craftsmanship
which prompted the Virginia team,
student body and alumni to demand
