The grand stand and bleachers were a sea of rod and black, with here and there a sprin kle of white and blue, to lot the troys from Carolina know they were not ai togt tlier in the enemy's country. For once there were no sn.sonsors. either for North Carolina or Georgia, ami tlu* agreement which was reached 'lndore fin* game between the two managers may Ik> the death knell of the fair custom distinctive of the Southern gridiron for years. GEORGIA'S DESPERATE EFFORTS The team from North Carolina entered the game with one of the worst eases of ov< I'comfidence ever exhibited at the park. Holding with tenacious faith so the opinion, of their captain that they Would win by a score of at least 20 to 0. the ( arolinums began the contest with tlwi't unfortunate confidence of superior ity which hats so often been the fore runner of defeat. Georgia. 0.11 tin- other hand, was filled only with a determina tion to die hard, and among the eleven stout heart* that represented the rial aiwl black there was, trot one but put forth the best efforts at his command. Receiving the ball for the kick-off. Car olina secured it again on downs in Geor gia territory, and by successive nuts through tackle Kind around end carried it over the red and black goal within five minutes after the game started. Geor gia was some time in getting warmed up to tin 1 cointest, but tin* men came to their liest strength with a start when the oral found its way over their goal line. Georgia secured the ball for tin* first time iu the center of the field and Mc- Intosh wu* sent to centre with it vic ious plunge, but gained nothing from the stubborn line in front of him. The Georgians made a try for the line again and then kicked, tile ball Failing thirty yards down the field, where Graves made it pretty catch. With the owjtl H, 'h in Carolina territory and th ? Tarheels real izing for the first time that Georgia was a surprise, tlie hall was taken away from the visitors and Captain Ritchie was sent around left end behind superb in terference. The big tackle leaped dear -of a pile of players, skillfully dodged the last forward and sped on down the field with 21 men at bis heels. At the five yard line he was forced, iu order to avoid a tackle, out of the gridiron, and losing his hold of the spheroid. w:ts thrown heavily, while l the hall rolled miserably from his arms. Carolina was on it in a second and Fullback Graves quickly kicked it out of danger. Agate in the* see-ond half of the game the Georgian*, by desperate kicking and a brilliant run around left end by Finne gan. aidedi 'by the failure of Graves to catch the punt, found themselves pos sessed of the bail out, North Carolina's seven-yard line. In covering the dis tance frown the center of the field to their point of vantage the Georgians displayed the best headwork seen in Atlanta during the season, taking quick advantage of bad plays on .the part of their opponents and forging around the emit* in a manner that made a Carolina victory doubtful. With the ball almost in arms’ length of the goal Jine. Meln tosh was thrown into <-enter twice in succession, with no gain, and the ball went over after the failure of Young to get tin* rquired five yards. GEORG 1A TRIED TO PLAGE KICK. It was evident to the Georgians that they eoulil gain nothing by trying the line, and with the oval in the centre of the fiedd and on Carolina's thirtv-fivo yard mark. 'Mclntosh fell back for a place kick from the field. The hopes of the Georgians nested op. that place kiek, as it. would have made the score a tie. but although swiftly executed, the oval sailed off to the left of the goal imst. and that 4 (banco at least was lost. Th* attempt to kick the* goal at tint* tune was one of the* few instances of poor judgment credited to Georgia. Tin ball had only come into their possession, and should not have been kicked at that d:s lance freati the goal before the third down. The (remainder of the last half resolv ed itself into a kicking luatc i, in which Mclntosh showed himself ail the way through superior to Graves. TWO FEATURES OF THE GAME. The distinct feature of the game was tin* brilliant running of Left Halfback Koehler for North Carolina, who seldom failed to gain when given the ball. It was noticeable to every one on the side lines that the only substantial gains made for the Tarheels was when the oval was entrusted to the bril liant left half. whose quickness ■ WWTOt MIIIW lll.ni'llll : l I: I L 'll V -1 1 and agility in leaping over the line when ii looked as though the entire Georgia team was around him, was the admiration of the Carolina eon tingent. The doubtful honor of contributing the other featute of the eon-test also fell to the Carolina halfback, when in full view of the grand stand he struck Qwarte-r --back MeCttieheon in the face, violating the rule of a noble sport ami adding the only unpleasant occurrence to an other wise delightful game. The bleachers stood up to a man and demanded the withdrawal of tin* Carolinian from the eon-test, hut Cinjure Connell did not see the blow delivered, ami was powerless to act. It is needless to stay that the rules of football admit of slugging -under no ei retime I nines whatever, regardless of provocation by word or deed, and it i< the violation of this irun-lwmnd com pact *froot which football as a popular sjM>rt -has the -most to fear. RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 3, 189a. The game yesterday was really the first: punting match the football enthu siasts of Atlanta have had an opiiortun ity to* see. Time and again in the sec ond half Graves- and Mclntosh sent their shoes into the spheroid for long pretty punts, and the friends of Geor gia realized with it sense of gratification that in punting the red and black had a decided advantage. Graves at fullback repeatedly fumbled the ball in catching punts, and the bad work of MeCut cheon for Georgia, was equally notice able on this point of the game. In defensive work, and particularly in the ability to get under bucks and tackle runs, Carolina outpointed Georgia, al though the defense of the Georgians at times was brilliant and stubborn. The longest gains by Halfback Koehler were made with little or no interference, and his steady advances were due not so much to the assistance of other mem bers of the team, but to his ability to remain on his feet longer than the men eonvjKising his interference. , THE GAME BEGINS. It was 3:10 o'clock when the North Carolina team trotted on the griilarou to begin the practice before the real work of the game. They were run down tin l field once or twice to g< t the signals firmly fixed, and then ordered back to their end of the#grandstand. Then the Georgia boys were trotted out and were given ten minutes Yif pass ing the ball and signal practice. Both were greeted by yells and applause, tiio two or three thousand people being about evenly divided in their sympa thy. Possibly there were more wearers of the red and black than the white and blue colors. Ten minutes before the hour appoint ed for the game to begin the referee pitched up tin* coin. Capt. Rateliffe win ning the choice. He took the \\;est goal and North Carolina the ball. The hands of the watches were just a few minutes past 2:110 o'clock when the referee blew his whistle for the game to begin. GEORGIA HAS BEST OF WIND.

His song distils a saving power From font-worn stone, from way side flower. He knows the gospel of the flower. He knows the gospel of the trees. The whispered message of the seas; Finds in some beetle on the road A power to lift the human load: Sees, in some dead leaf, dried and curled, The deeper moaning of the world: Hears through the roar of mortal things The God's immortal whisperings: Sees the world-wonder rise and fall, And knows that Beauty made it all.
