V.M.I. MEETS DEFEAT
PLUCKY CADETS OUTCLASSED
An Interesting. Contest At Winston
Results in a Decisive Tar Heel
Victory A Firm Stand and
a Sensational Run.
Carolina defeated V. M. I. by the
score of 17-0 at Wiustou-Saleni
Saturday. The day was a line one
for football, but only about four hun
dred people saw the game. Despite
this fact and a hard, rough field,
the contest was at all times interest
ing.
There were but two main features
of the game Carolina's stonewall
stand on the four yard line and
Abernethy's spectacular run of 80
yards for a touchdown. These
were the main features. But the
hard, steady playing by both teams
was one continuous feature. Al
though outweighed, the cadets got
real busy -at times. On the first
.half, their line held well, but 'they
were compelled to kick when they
got the ball, and at this business
they lost ground. They made their
distance only once by bucking the
line. In the second half, however,
the Virginians showed up better.
They hammered Carolina's line back
to the four yard line. Here the ex
pected happened. The Tar Heels
planted their toes in the imaginary
holes and held held rush after rush
of the cadets. Hit the line as hard
as they might, there was no gain
the mass of men just bulged up in
the middle and settled down again
where it bulged. The ball could
not be pushed over the line, and
went to Carolina. A few rushes for
cparlv wains were made, and then
Abernethy got loose and made one
of those long runs that President
Eliot and Mr. Roosevelt have been
talking about open plays, they call
them and advocating. He ran 80
yards for a touchdown.
The god of luck favored Carolina,
and she chose to kick to V. M. I.
Roberson's shoe came in contact
with the oval and it sailed away to
V. M. I.'s 20 yard line. A Virgin
ia player grabbed it and rau back

tempts to make the distance V.M.I,
kicked 25 yards. Carolina took the
ball on her own 45 yard line and
started on an irresistible march.
VM. I. failed tocheck it this side of
her own goal line. Story, Aberne
thy, Snipes, Whitaker, Gardner,
Thompson, each in turn, smashed
through the light V. M. I. line with
unfailing consistency for gain after
gain, the longest being a 17 yard
dash by Abernethy. Story went
over centre for Carolina's first
touchdown! The goal proved hard
to kick and Whitaker missed it
the first time this season. Score

The class of 1908 came together
for the first time in its history last
Friday night to participate in a
class banquet. All banquets are
enjoyable butthis one was especially
so, as it was an entirely new thing
for the members of the class to come
together en masse without being

the occasion.
By 8.45 an eager crowd was waiting
outside and clamoring to get in and
see "what a class banquet was
like."
Promptly at () o'clock the toast

ed the ball a'rolling by making a
few introductory remarks. Stewed

the speeches that were to follow.
Dr. Veuable was the first speak
er of the evening. He said that he
was doubly glad to, be present, as
the occasion happened to coincide
with his birthday, (he didn't say
which one). He started off in a
jocular manner, and ended up by
making a strong appeal to the class
to stand firm on the principles al
ready laid down by them. This
speech was responded to on the part
of the class by Mr. O. R. Rand, who
made a strong appeal for closer
harmony among college students.
The second part of the menu was
next in evidence. After this the
toastmaster introduced the second
speaker, Dr. h,. K. Graham. Dr.
Graham, in his usual attractive
style, stated that he had discussed
class unity, class friendship and the
like subjects at the other class ban
quets which he had previously at
tended this year. In view of this
fact he stated that he simply want
ed to make a friendly, informal
talk. He complimented the class
on being so well represented and
stated that it was a great thing to
be a Sophomore in college. In a
very impressive way he emphasized
the fact that the class had a bril
liant opportunity before them with
the privilege of becoming closely ;
associated with their fellow stu
dents. The toastmaster asked Mr. Orr
to respond to this address in behalf
of the class. Mr. Orr stated that
