DRAWN BATTLE
NO SCORING SATURDAY
A Fiercely Fought Contest in
Raleigh Last Week Varsity's'
Goal Threatened But Ably
Defended Each Time.
The leading event in North Car
olina football took place at the Fair
grounds in Raleigh last Saturday
afternoon when the University foot
ball team met that from the A. and
M. College. After fifty minutes of
desperate struggling the score stood
nothing to nothing, neither team. be
ing able to score a point on the
other-
The game, which was interesting
from start to finish was viewed by
a large crowd. The University
team was accompanied by a coterie
of about 300 rooters who were game
to the core, and the University band.
The JVezi'st and Observer snirl:
"There was something very line
about that band and its persistency,
as it played on brazenly triumphant
with the ball in the hands of their
enemies almost within a span of
the goal line; there was something
very fine about the hundreds of
-white and blue rooters who shouted
their cheers with throats as brazen
as their horns and would not admit
the possibility of defeat; there was1
something very fine indeed about that
young rooting captain Bully
Moore sitting on the rail of the
fence, for the most part with his
back to the game he would have
given his eyes to see waving his
stick with its white and blue rib
bons to his cheering followers, with
that look in his piercing brown-
black eye which says to the end,
'Never give up' ".
If the number of yards which a
team carried the ball decided games
A. & M. would probably have won
But to win a football game is to
carry the ball across your opponents
line, and that thing is what neither
of the contesting teams did. More
than once was the ball, through the
brilliant end runs of Steele, A. &
M's star quarterback, a recent and
valuable addition to the team,
brought uear the line defended by
North Carolina. But uever did that
thing occur that the Carolina team
did not rally magnificently and pre
sent to the onslaught of the charg
ing cadets an impregnable, iron
wall, against which they dashed
themselves in vain, from which they
.fell back repulsed.
Carolina won the toss and chose
to defend the east goal. The band
broke forth into renewed playing,
the rooters rent the air with enthu
siastic yells, the rest of the specta
tors held their breath as Wilson, for
A. & M. sent the sphere hurtling
to Carolina's 10-yard Hue. In an
instant Abernethy had it and dashed
back for 17 yards. Reynolds tried
an end for 2i yards. Winborne tried
left -tackle. for no gain and Carolina
kicked to the centre of the field,
Townsend downing the A. & M.
man in his tracks.
Steele tried a quarterback rnn,
but Abernethy was there and Steele
discovered several new constellations
as "Abby" hurled him back eight
yards. Then. Tull tried centre for
five yards, and Wilson sent the pig
skin 35 yards, the Carolina man re
ceiving it being downed in his
tracks. Abernethy then tried the
line for 7 yards, Reynolds for 3 and
Reynolds again for no gain. Here
A. & M. was penalized 5 yards for
offsiding; Winborne added five and
then Abernethy fumbled to A. &
M.
A. & M. hit the line for 3 yards
and then Steele, with good interfer-
ference, circled an end for 35 yards.
With the ball on the University's
10-yard line, Shaw hit the centre
for i 7 yards but on the next play
Tull was thrown for the loss of a
yard. Wilson went through for
two yards, but that was all. A. &
M. did their best, but it simply
wasn't in'theni to take the ball over
that white chalk line and on the
next play the ball was Carolina's on
downs on her 3-yard line. Caro
lina advanced the ball on several
plays 9 yards and then kicked to
the 40-yard line. Wilson made a
pretty run of 25 yards around Car
olina's right end just here. Soon
the ball was within a foot of the
line but it was won for Carolina on
downs by her impregnable defense.
Carolina this time advanced the
ball 10 yards before kicking to A.
and M's 55-yard line. A. and M.
returned it 5 yards, sent Wilson
ahead for 20 yards, lost 5 yards and
then failed to grain. On third down
with 8 yards to gain Wilson kicked
35 yards to Reynolds, who returned
the ball 17. Soon Carolina kicked
again, this time for forty yards, but
after A.& M. had made a few short
gains, time was up with the ball on
Carolina's 53-yard line.
At the beginning of the second
half which the rooters interspersed
with their continual songs and
yells, the two teams went at it
once more with vim and energy,
Carolina showing especial spirit.
Roberson kicked to the 7-yard line
and Shaw was downed on the 17.
Wilson tried an end but was thrown
for a loss of S yards. He tried
again and Townsend threw him for
a loss. Then he kicked 30 yards,
the University man being downed
in his tracks. Then Carolina took
a brace and started on a march for
a touchdown. Winborne went over
for 6 yards, Reynolds 15 through
the line, and Abernethy made it 4
more. The next tries were no go
and Abernethy sent the pigskin to
the 10-yard line. Then A. and M.
by steady gains brought the ball
near Carolina's goal. 'Once Steele
circled an end for 23 yards, and
acain for 20 yards. Finally the
ball went over, but A. and M. had
held in the line and the ball was
carried back 20 yards. A. and M.

At 9:30 Rev. Egbert W. Smith,

Tough Proposition at Virginia.
Carolina went up against Virginia
last Thursday and Friday evening
in a tennis tournament, and con
trary to expectations was badly
worsted in the meet. Virginia was
worsted here last spring but cer
tainly had something up her sleeve
for the Carolina team this year.
Pollard and Chapman represented
Virginia. Pollard won the cham
pionship of Virginia at Richmond
last fall, and 'ith his hard, swift
leopard strokes and his peculiar
jumping serve outclassed both of
Carolina's representatives. Chap
man from Los Angeles, California,
though not. in Pollard's class, was a
strong, finished player and put up
a steady, consistent game. Caro
lina, represented by Phillips and Orr,
put up a hard fight in the doubles,
but could not cope with their oppo
nents in singles. Virginia took
three out of four sets in doubles 6-4;
4-6; 6-4; 6-4. The next afternoon
Pollard won from Orr 6-0; 6-3; and
6-1, three consecutive sets. Chap
man won from Philips three hard
fought sets, 6-4; 6-3; 6-2. Carolina's
team say they have no excuse for
not winning the tournament. They
acknowledge that they were beaten
fairly and squarely, but they think
that they can beat Virginia down
here on their own courts. They
say that strange courts, two cold
days and a strange audience made a
big difference in their playing.
Both Messrs Orr and Phillips
were delighted with the courteous
treatment accorded them on all sides.
The Quartet Monday Night.
A fair sized audience assembled
in Gerrard. Hall Monday night to
hear the Schubert String Quartet,
of Boston. The entertainment was
secured by the University Musical
Association, with a twofold purpose
in view: to furnish a source of enter
tainment and, incidentally, to make
some money. As an entertainment
it was a success, as a money maker
it was far ahead of its accomplish
ments on the company's previous
visits the Musical' Association this
time lost only $7 or $8.
The personnel of the company was
as follows: Walter E. Loud, violin;
H. Faxon Grover, violin; Edward
J. Schiller, violiu; Frederick Blair,
violoncello. The program rendered
was enjoyed by an appreciative au
dience for mark you, the gather
ing was a cultured one. Even the
hopelessly barbarian brother, whose
idea of perfect music is ragtime,
voted it "pretty blame good;" those
who are versed in such matters pro
nounced it the best ever heard on
the Hill.
