' The garno of football between the
J University of North Carolina and Da-
vtwon Collate will begin at Latta Park
thlil afternoon immediately after the
1 conclusion of the clrcui performance. . i
t ' The University players arrived last
- " night and are quartered at the Central
; Hotel. The Davidson men will come
. ever this morning on the- early train.
. " Both teams will play their regular and
strpngestf men. and the game promises
to the most exciting ever witnessed
,ln Charlotte. . ..
- The following will be the line-up of
teams:-u4. h i

The substitutes for Davidson: Sloop,
Rankin, Mills, Gibson, T., Gillespie,
Swratt, WymaiU ' The University sub
stitutes arc:. Donnelly. James, Oldham,
Chit, Giles, Bolt and Mann.
The University coach Is Mr. H. B.
: . Oieott, a graduate of Tale and a foot
ball player of great reputation. . Davld-
, son's coach is Mr. J. A. Brewln, of the
. Boston College. '
It will be noted at a glance, to-day,
' that the University men are heavier
than their opponents. Their average
weight Is 165 pounds, while the Presby
terianr boys average only 14 pounds.
- Despite this difference in weight, how
ever, it Is expected that the game will
r.e close. True, the University team
has always defeated Da vlds6n in the
four or five contests In the past, but
, the superiority was never manifested by
a large score. The Davidson iwn claim
that this year they have the best team
. - , they have ever put in the field. . and
- they are determined to win to-dav if
' hard, snappy playing is backed by any
tort or goon luck.
' The games played by the two teams
' this season show both to advantage
The University defeated Oak Ridge 35 to
C: Guilford College, M to 0, and Fur
man, 10 to . Davidson defeated Oak
' Ridge, 28 to 5, but lost to Furman by
score of 6 to 0. It is claimed that In
, . the Furman game Davidson had to play
, iwr substitutes ana lost oti that ' ac
count., In to-day's struggle Davidson
will have picked men at every position)
A number of students from the Unl-
verstty accompanied the- team last
nlTht Of course practically alt of Da-
. vldson College will arrive on the train
this morning. Twill be. a gala day for
the students; for it is not often that n
college boy has an opportunity of wit
nessing a circus, a football game and a
- first-class theatrical performance all in
a period of ten hours. , - , ,
The University Iutonda to Plla Cp a Big
Chapel Hill, Oct. 17. Considerable In
terest Is manifested here In the game
with Davidson in Charlotte to-morrow,
The University never has put a heavy
' ' score on Davidson on account of hav
ing some of its men disabled just before-
the game. Last year some of the
'Vanity's best men were either sick or
- 'hurt and the result was Davidson held
, " them down I to 0. Foust ; and. Jones,
" Carolina's big lockers,' were" both In
jured in a practice game-day before
yesterday, but not seriously and both
will probably be in the game Saturday.
The 'Varsity, while not very heavy, Is
wwiuenuiiy imbi am muxes up iot us
lack of, heavy weight In the line by
great speed and strong interference.
Davidson is also reported to be both
heavy and fast and a battle royal is
expected. The boys from Mecklenburg
always seem to rather their energies
together In ttwlr annual game with the
University and put up a plucky game
every time. The "Varsity is resolved to
pile up a good-slued score; Davidson is
determined to hold them down. The
issue is aw.t'tej vJth great interest.
The Unlv,r.itty will probably ll.ie np
her men as follows: Townsend, right
end! Jones, right tackle; Shepherd,
right guard; Stewart, centre; Farlowe,
left .guard; Foust, left tackle; Fisher,
left end; Graves, quarter-back; Eagle,
full back; half-backs, Oldham; Jacobs,
Berkeley, Newton.

Cornwallls' surrender to General wash
Ington in 1871. Through th shot-rid
died walls the redoubtH and earth works
nf the besieging Amerh-nn army can be
seen in the distance with tbo flag that
then had thirteen stars floating In the
distance. . The finale of this act; which
ends the piny, Is absolutely correct his
torically, and quite realistic. .
As the curtain falls the drum or tne
opposing army sound the "long parley,"
indicating Cornwaiiis surrender, ana
the cries of the American sentries are
heard In the distance:'
"Nine o'clock; starlight night; Corn
wallls surrenders."
"Airs we'll.'"
