U. OF N. C. 23. W. F. C. 6.
One of the largest and most
fashionable crowds ever a s -setnbled
on a similar occasion in
Raleigh, greeted the University
and Wake Forest teams at Ath
letic Park, on Friday afternoon.
Raleigh society was out in full
force, and large delegations came
to witness the game from neigh
boring cities. Special trains
brought the students from the
; two colleges and for the time be
ing, the city was given over to
the collegians and their friends.
The white and blue of the Var
sity boys, and the black and old
gold of the Wake Foresters were
conspicuous on every side.
Iyong before the time appointed
for the game, there was a steady
march to the grounds, and before
three o'clock the crowd was quite
large, and when the game com
menced at 3:30, the sight within
the Park was most inspiring, and
I the excitement and interest were
such only as result from the con
tact of college men. The odds
were about three to one in favor
of the University, with few takers.
Tallyhoes, phaetons, victorias,
buggies, carriages, and every im
aginable kind of vehicle, filled the
grounds, and almost without ex
ception, they were decorated with
the white and blue of the Hillians.
The scene in the grand stand was
even more inspiring, for there the
gentler sex was gathered in great
numbers, some with the black
and gold and others with the
white and blue, whose applause
and cheers were calculated to urge
on their . chosen warriors to re
newed efforts. But on the bleach
eries was the "howling mob" of
college students with their sup
porters. There they were gath
ered with all their annual vigor,
eager and anxious to applaud
their, representatives, and often
did they give vent to their feel
ings. The Wake Forest yell
would be answered by the "Rah,
Rah, Rah, white and blue, vive
la, N. C. U." of our boys.
Among the Raleigh young la
dies present, (with the Varsity
colors) were : Misses Lucy Haw
kins, Mary Snow, Helen McVea,

showed ourselves superior to our
opponents at every point, except
