University Of Maryland wound up
it's season by defeating North Caro-
lima state, at Raleigh. in game in
which the score Of to did not real
i show the true comparison between
the teams. Maryland had the ball in
scoring position four times in the
second half. but failed to get it
;!rr"ss. twice because of penalties,
once because a drop kick went wide.
and the other time for no other rea-
ION than tumble on the one-yard
line. only once did North Carolina
State have the ball inside Maryland's
+e-yard line. and that was when
fumbIed punt gave it the ball on the
>-yard mark.
The game was the last that several
Maryland athletes will take part in.
Bailey ut center. Groves at quarter,
Nisbet at tackle, Moore at guard. Bos-
J, y and Semler. halfbacks: Pollock at
center and Brewer at guard.
North Carolina made good against
Virginia. 10 to :. though it was by the
hare margin of three points and only
after it had gone into the second half,
with the count standing to 8 against
it. Forward passing, in which the
great Johnson figured on the receiv-
ing end. was the handspring of North
tarolina's offense. Virginia played
wonderful defensive contest, played
against the odds which came with be-
ing against a veteran eleven. and de-
serves all the commendation which
&c es with valiant defeat under big
i}ardicapS.
And to North Carolina goes credit
for the best gridiron season in its
whole history. 1t played brilliant foot
sail from September until the last of
November, and never faltered under
the strain of travelling and a series of
heavy games.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute made
good over V. NJ. I. by I to 3. in
game at the finish of which it could
have had only the greatest respect for
its antagonist. Both teams had bril-
liant records. V. p. I. especially. hav-
ing played wonderful foot ball all fall.
V. NJ. I. was little, if any, less effective
than V. p. i. in the games it played
Drior to the engagement of yesterday
+. P. I. apparently stopped White, the
man on whom V. NJ. I. has depended
all season for most Of its gains and as
the main cog in Its offensive tactics of
all kinds.
Just as was predicted for those two
games at Charlottesville and Roanoke
two brilliant exhibitions Of foot ball
resulted. And in fact the three major
engagements which took place were
close. hard fought and worthy ex-
ribitions for the closing day Of the
schedules of the participants. North
carolina beat Virginia. 10 to Z; V. P. l.
won from V. NJ. l.. to 8. and Mary
land took the measure of North Caro-
lima state. to s. All were games
which presented tense moments for
spectators.
Catholic Univerxity faced a more ex-
perienced and heavier team in the
game it played yesterday and lost, o to
-. 1t was Canisius College Of Buff
falo. which gave the Brooklanders
the four-touchdown beating, but the
game, II anything, was a credit to the
local eleven because of the fight 1t
made against strong team after a
hard trip.
