CAROLINA FALLS
BEFORE VIRGINIA
The Varsity Appears Helpless
in the Face of Virginia s
Crushing Attack
VIRGINIA PLAYS A MAGNIFICENT GAME
Carolina Goes Completply to Pieces
v and the Splendi Defense Seen in
Other Games is Powerless to Stop
Virginia's Rush
' 12,000 cheering people saw the
University of North Carolina go
down in crushing- defeat by the
score of 28 to 0 last Thursday be
fore the University of Virginia in
the annual Thanksgiving- Day
conflict It w.s a result which
liven the most sanguine of Vir
ginia supporters had not expected
and which left Carolina students,
alumni, and friends dazed and
.shocked.
When .Todd' scored the first
touchdown after twelve minutes
of the fiercest and hardest kind
of play, there was no doubt as to
which team would be the victor.
The Virginia backs smashed in
to the line or tore around the
ends with a speed and rapidity
that swept the Varsity off its
feet and sent despair biting into
the hearts of its supporters.
";Tdd, Gooch, and- Walters
played magnificent ball. On wide
end runs, off tackle players, and
split interference, with the backs
going through center, these play
ers carried the ball down the field
time and time again. Too much
cannot be said of Gooch's punt
ing. He kicked low and far to
one side of the Carolina backs
playing back on defense. Three
times in the second quarter the
ball rolled within Carolina's 15
yard line when kicked from well
in Virginia territory. Virginia
played a" great game The team
was one of the best, of many good
ones, that has represented Vir
ginia on the gridiron.
On the other hand the Varsity
went completely to pieces. The
splendid defense that in every
other game of the season has pre
vented the foes of old Carolina
from crossing her goal line
crumpled before Virginia's at
tack and seemed powerless to
check the onward rush of Todd,
Gooch, Walters, and Goodhue.
There is nothing by which to
judge the offensive strength of
the team. Once in the third
period Winston, Chambers, and.
Tillett carried the ball to Vir
ginia's IS yard line, but there the
Orange and Blue held. The
quarter ended with the ball on
Carolina's 25 yard line in Vir
ginia's possession.
The team seemed all at sea.
Swept off its feet in the first few
minutes of play, it never recov
ered. The line failed to hold and
the backs failed to gain. In e
second quarter the game ceased to
be a game and became a rout.
The team and, the game were
hopeless andsad disappointments.
And yet the team fought stub
bornly on. In the teeth of de
feat the players worked like de
mon. Five times they held for
downs when the ball wass within
the 5 yard zone. With a bulldog
tenacity, and a splendid spirit
that in victory or defeat thrill
those who see it, the team fought
bitterly on. At first it was with
the hope of at least tying the
score.. Towards . the last it was
with the hope of at least avoiding
the ignomy of a whitewash at
the hands of Carolina's bitterest
yet best beloved foe.
Following is the game in detail,
with the line up and summary:
FIRST QUARTER

and chose to defend the west goal.

DR. F.S.PARKER IN
GERRARD HALL
Preaches the Second of the
University Sermons of the
Current Year
A HELPFUL AND INSPIRING DISCOURSE
On Christ as the Absolute Expression
of Truth and Life Eternal : "I am
the "Way, the Truth, and the Life"
Was His Text. V
Dr. Franklin Parker of Trinity
College preached irtj Gerrard Hall
last Sunday morning the second
of the series of University ser
mons for this year.' The sermon
was a helpful and inspiring dis
course on Christ as the absolute
expression of truthjand the way
to eternal life. Dr. Parker took
his text from St. John, chapter
14, verse 6: "I am the Way, the
Truth, and the Life; no man com
eth unto the Father but by me."
He said i substance:
"There is a marked difference
between St. John and the other
gospel writers. The first three
narrate the outward events of
Christ's life. St. John observes
the outward events, meditates
about them and gives to us his
interpretation of them. With him
we pass as it were to the inner
side,, of Christ's life. The outward
aspects of religion first challenge
man's attention. But men are
not content with this alone. The
spirit and consciousness of the
infinite and the eternal is steadi
ly sought for. Men unceasingly
try to define religion in terms of
forms and theories. Christ teach
es that these are only medial
things. Our divine purpose is to
attain to eternal life, to come to
God and in order to do this we
must travel by the way of Jesus
Christ.
"Christ is the truth. He is un
avoidable, unescapable. How
comes, it that this Gallilean pea
sant, this plain simple man, has
left a doctrine, that has exerted
such a limitless influence upon
the thought and action of the
world? It is because Christ is
tue actual reality and the abso
lute truth. Men seek to divide
truth into various segments.
Truth, however, is the law of the
human intellect and cannot be di
vided. Christ is our way and our
life because he is the absolute ex
pression of truth. The peril of
religion lies in the fact that many
in searching into it are willing to
stop and catch fast to some mi re
form before coming finally to the
reality that Christ is the real and
actual truth itself.
'"I am the Life.' Men need
ot new work but something to
make the old inspiring and pleas,
ant. The great need of the
churches is to re-discover Christ
and the great need ofjthe individ
ual is to get the spirit of Christ
into his life. Christ is no doubt
ful hypothesis but the real way,
the truth, and the life. He is the
gleam that we should follow
through life into eternity."
Cornell University is to be
taken as a model for a new uni
versity in Perth, the capital of

Dr. Smith Lectures at Y. M. C. A.
Rev. Dr. Smith lectnn d
last Tuesday night before the
Young Men's Christian Associ
ation on his trips through the
northern part of the Holy Land -from
Damascus to 'enisalem.' He
related his adventures in a very
interesting manner and graphical
ly described the country scenes,
and people. He pictured the
country as being in a sad con
ditio and the people of a low,
debased, unprogressive class. He
said that the people cultivated
the fields with instruments simi
lar to those used in Abraham's
time and that poverty, disease,
and unsanitary conditions were
prevalent. The cities of Beth
sadia and Capernaum are decayed
so that no man knows even where
they were, said Dr. Smith, just
at Christ prophesied,
