-J H AR THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THK UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, Nov. 1, 1899 Vol. 8, 6. A. & M. GAME. Score 11 to 11. Both Teams Great ly Surprised. Carolina's Crippled Condition. The game in Raleigh last Satur day between the Varsity eleven and that of A &M College of Raleigh was to say the least, very surpris, itig and disappointing. For the first time this year the Varsity has allowed her opponents to score, and for the first time in the history of athletics here has A &M scored on her. The game was as much a surprise to the "farmers" as it was to us. The result is not so very bad when we consider the broken up condition of our players. The cen tre was a new "man, never having played that position jn a game be fore and while he played a good ball, yet the players lacked that confidence which they would natur ally have for an old man. Bennett and Shull, Carolina's two famous tackles, were neither in the game and their places were filled by scrubs. The other players were suffering from bruises and injuries and then the hard, rocky ground on which' the teams played, (but we iliake no excuse), caused Carolina to be scored on to the amount of eleven points; and here is the story of the game. Ball is kicked to Carolina's 15' yard line, and Koehler secures it, makes one yard and then no gain. A kick is called for and on bad pass of centre, Graves fumbles it and A &M secures it on our 2 yard line. "Tackles left" is called for and for two successi ve downs Varsity holds them in their place, but then the ball is given to Turner and he plunges through for the first touch down that his college has ever scored against us.

Elliott, the new centre, showed of what stuff he was made and will prove a worthy successor to Cunningham. The backs played with a vim and fumbling was conspicuous by its absence. To speak of the stars of the game it would be necessary to Joyner, Baltimore mention every man on tne team, but Alexander,, chapel the work of Koehler, Howell and Hill Graves was especially noticable. The latter was injured early in the game but played football to the fin ish. ; Carolina played hard clean foot ball and won because of her superi ority to her opponents, though by ttTington this no disparagement is intended Newman.Atianta, for the Maryland team who put up Ga. a stiff game.
