(By the Associated Press.)
Richmond, Va.. Nov. 24.—The Uni
versity of Virginia defeated the Uni
versity of North Carolina in their an
nual game for the Southern champion
ship at Broad Street Park this after
noon by a margin of but one point.
The score was 12 to 11, the Carolin
ians failing of a drawn battle by their
inability to land a rather easy goal.
It was the irony of fate that the
point that won the game for the Or
ange and Blue was the result of an
accident in which a Carolinian player
figured. With the score 11 to 11, Vir
ginia had a try for goal. The ball
was booted straight enough, but too
low to get over the bar. and a Carolina
player standing beneath the posts,
jumped into the air and struck the
ball, deflecting it upward and over
the bar.
The two teams were as evenly
matched as ;* was possible for them
to be. and of each v,tt*
superior to its ‘fence. .
Virginia pit ed Yale footban,
straight line plunges and mass plays
being used effectively against the Car
olina line, until the Blue and White,
were hammered hack over their own
line. Carolina played Princeton style,
depending on end runs chiefly for
gains. The Carolinians had a star
back field, and one of the heaviest
ever seen in this city.
Carpenter, an old V. P. I. player,
was the star of the game, and Caro
lina's main dependence as a ground
gainer. It was lie who made all of
the Carolinians’ best runs and their
second touchdown after a thirty yard
dash. The first touchdown of the
game, made by Carolina, was due to
a Virginia muff of a punt on its own
goal line, the ball rolling over and a
Carolinian failing on it.
For Virginia, right tackle. Council,
made the lirst touchdown, after the
hall had been rushed almost the
length of the field. John
son carried the ball over for the sec
ond. in a brilliant fifteen yard dash
into the line. Both yielded goals.

Philadelphia. Nov. 24.—The Univer
sity of Pennsylvania football eleven
today* closed one of the most success
ful seasons in the history of the insti
tution by defeating the Cornell eleven
by the score of 34 to 0. Pennsylvania
scored four touchdowns in the first
half and two in the second. Had it
not been for penalties inflicted on the
red and blue, Cornell would never
have been within striking distance of
the Pennsylvania’s goal. The Ithica I
boys were powerless on the offensive I
until near the close of the game when
Pennsylvania had in an almost entire
new' team and on the defense they
were equally weak. Not a lirst down
was earned by the visitors in the open
ing half and only once during this
period did Cornell hold the downs.
Pennsylvania was penalized forty-five
yards in the first half and was set back
forty yards in the closing period of the
game.
umble after fumble occurred in the !
Cornell back field, and on nearly every)
offense she would lose the ball.
A feature of the game was the fierce I
tackling of the Pennsylvania boys. On ]
nearly every scrimmage when the
Cornell team had the ball there would
be one of the visitors laid out. Stev
enson. Pennsylvania’s quarterback,
was finally sent to the side lines by

Easton, Pa., Nov. 24.—The I aayette
football team defeated the Lehigh this
afternoon by the score vff 4 Oto 0.
The first l\alf was productive of fine
football, each side scoring six points.

braced up and tore her other rival to
pieces, scoring almost at will. The
game brought out the largest crowd
that has ever been on March field, ful
ly ten thousand persons lie ng present.
The scoring in the first half was done
on desperate line plunges and end
runs by both sides. The second half
was a complete reversal of this style of
game, and from the start LaaFyette
began scoring and stuck to it while the
whistle was blown. Shuster kicked a
field goal from the twenty-five yard
line.

(By the Associated Press.)
Chicago, Nov. 24. —Chicago, 18;
Wisconsin, 11, was the score today' in
the hardest fought football game
played on Marshall field this season.
The game was replete with surprises
and critical situations which kept the
! 18.000 spectators or. the qui vive from
the time of the first kick off until
the final whistle blew.
The climax was reached in the mid- j
die of the second half. Eckersall
caught the ball on the kickoff on Chi- i
cago’s three yard line and started to- |
wards Wisconsin's goal. The Wiscon- j
sin men came thundering down upon
him. Some of them were stopped by
Chicago interference and others Eck
ersall dodged until only Stromquist.
Wisconsin's full back, blocked the way i
to a touchdown.
Dodging dangerously near the side j
line the speedy little quarterback
rushed by. the outstretched fingers of !
his opponent, grazing his leg as he j
passed. Two seconds, later he was j
beneath a pile of squirming hut Amity |
behind the Wisconsin goal posts. He i
had made the record run of the sea
son. covering 107 yards, to do which
he actually ran 115 yards.
The crowd went wild, Wisconsin
rooters joining with the Chicago men
in cheering the play. All sense of
partisanship was lost iti the general
admiration for the magnificent play.
A few moments later Vanderboom,
who played a star game for Wiscon
sin, was given almost as great an ova

for n touchdown. His play was the
culmination of a scries of line smashes,

yard line. y

A splendid audience filled the Acade

the third of the inter-collegiate de
bates between Richmond College, of
Richmond, Va.. and Wake Forest Col
lege. of Wake Forest N. C. It was
an audience most cultured, and in it
we-e representatives of Wake Forest.,
the A. and M. College, Richmond Col
lege, the Baptist University for Wo
men and Peace Institute.
It was a brilliant scene, and there
was the merry sound of conversation
as the audience gathered, while as it
increased in size there came on top
ot this the college yells and college
jheers. the heavier volume always
being for Wake Forest.
There was some delay in starting the
debate, caused by the necessity of
finding'a pitcher of water for the de
baters and a reading stand for the
Virginians who used their manuscript
in speaking. It was nine o’clock
when the curtain finally rose for the
beginning of the debate.
The meeting was presided over by
udge T. B. YVomack. president of the
hunt bet* of Commerce of Raleigh,
undeer whose auspices the debate was
given. Ho made a pleasant address
telling that once Wake Forest an 1

The debaters were introduced by

IMAGINATION RUN MAD.
A Twelve-Year-Old Negro Child Con
verted Into a Jealous Beauty Who
Slays Her Blind Rival by
Throwing Her Into a
Creek.
It would hardly be putting it too
strong to say .that all Salisbury is one
vast grin over the astoounding reve
lations contained in a news story pub
lished in a recent issue of the New
York Herald Judging from the news
story in question the Herald’s Ashe
ville correspondent must be a twin
brother of Baron Munchauser and
cousin german to Lemuel Gulliver
whom Swift brought into world-wide
fame. The story told by this scribe
of extraordinary gifts has already been
given to the world in the columns of
The News and Observer in a news
item narrating the case of the little
negro midgets. Mary Bates and
Blanche Christian, the latter of whom
was drowned and the former of
whom is to be tried for the crime. The I
dead girl was but ten years old and
the Bates girl is not over twelve.
Now out of this plain blue domestic
goods warranted not to rip or fade
behold the airy, iridescent, dream
like fabric wrought by the mental l«on
of the gifted mountain correspondent
of the New York pjiper:
Jealousy of a blind girl, who from
childhood was her closest friend, is
the chief evidence against Miss Mar
tha Bates, who is in the Rowan coun
ty jail charged with killing Miss
Blanche Christian. The latters body
was found in Tow creek.
In the home of the Bates girl the
police found the clotlyfig of the blind
Christian girl. There was evidenced
that Miss Christian had been beaten
to death with a club.
Miss Martha Bates is handsome, and
for a year or more has been the
fiancee of a young man. They were
constantly together, and Martha often
took her blind girl friend with them
on picnics and to dances. Recently it
had been remarked that the young
man was showing great attention to
UARPKNTER, University’s Star llah
Who Played the Most Biilli.u.t
(dime l’or Carolina Yesterday.
Miss Christian, and many, who said
that the town beauty had become in
tensely jealous of her old friend and
companion, the blind girl.
Little was thought of this gossip,
though there was evident trouble be
tween the two girls and soon they
were not seen together. A climax
came a few days ago, when Miss Bates
went to the home of the blind girl,
and before the otehr young women
of the town, who were present accused
iter of alienating her sweetheart’s af
fections.
An exciting scene ensued, but when
the blind girl had denied the accusa
tion the girls seemed to renew in
slight degree their friendship. Two
days later they were seen together
walking on the outskirts of the town
and apparently on as good terms as
before the estrangement.
That was the last time Miss Chris
tian was seen alive. When she was
missed her father sought her at the
Bates’ home. The police were notified
and they also went to the residence
of Miss Bates. They insisted upon
seeing her and finally were admitted
by Miss Bates’ parents that their
daughter had disappeared.
A pursuit was begun but for two
days the young girl eluded her pur
suers. When finally located and ar
rested at the house of friends a few*'
miles away she declined to make any
statement and was taken to jail. .
When it was learned that Miss Bates
had disappeared the police searched
her home and found clothing there
which was indentified as belonging to.
the murdered blind girl.

GETSWEET REVENGE
A. & M. Beat Clemson
18 to 0.
A SLAM-BANG GAME
Clemson Starts in With a Rush But
Can't Hold the Pace She Sets—
Fine End Runs of the Wilsons,
Abernethy's Plunges, Gard
ner's Grit.
With the exception of the first five
minutes of play during: which they
threatened to carry the A. & M. tear"
completely into camp, the Clemson
eleven was totally unable to cope with
the strong: local team at the Fair
Ground field yesterday afternoon.
After two hard fought halves of 2i»
minutes each the final score stood 18
to 0 in favor of the A. & M. one touch
down and goal having been made in
: the first and two touchdowns and re
! suiting goal in the second half.
| The play was throughout fast and
furious and at times brilliant. The
entire A. & M. eleven covered itself
with a glory that makes distinction
odious. The end running of the two
Wilsons, however, the line bucking of
Abernethy, the consistent play of
■ Gardner, and the work at end of
Gregory cannot be too highly com
mended.
For Clemson, all her men played fast
and hard bail, her ends tackling high,
however, Holland, her full back, did
grand work until he was repeatedly
: hurt. Clemson’s players. however,
were rarely able to gain after the first
few minutes and they couid not hold
their opponents.
A Lai'co Crowd.
The crowd at the grounds was a
large one. Naturally the A. &M. col
ors predominated, but some school
girls from South Carolina waved their
blue and gold colors to the bitter end.
(One of these, a little blonde with the
! very devil of mischief in her face ran
the A. & M. students near her as wild
with her applause of their opponents
as she did with her saucy beauty.
The play was enough to enthuse and
it had its natural effect. Time after
time the heavy players crashed into
each other with the impacts of young
bulls in pasture. Energy was used up
like fuel on a timbered farm with the
yrodigity of youth and staunch phy
sicue. It was the last game of the
season and each team played to tae
last once.
Hurts were freouent but none of a
serious nature except that of Gard
ner, of the A. & M., which consisted of
a broken nose. He pluckiiy played til*
game to the end. his blood-smeared
face giving a realistic touch of the
arena to the contest.
The running of the Wilsons was
magnificent. They sped like deer with
full blooded courage in every stride.
Coming across the field in giant
jumps, strong arms pushing away the
snatching hands of their enemies, a
run around the end is a thing to heat
the blood. And a line bucker like
Abernethy—a man that dives forward
with the devil may care sneed of a
locomotive is an inspiration.
It was a fine game, technically, and
from the standpoint of the spectator.
To the A. & M. the victory was pe
culiarly sweet, wining out as it did a
bad defeat at the hands of the same
team last year.
Crowding in the Field.
The one unpleasant feature of the
day was the old time crowding <>f
spectators and students on the field.
This practice has obtained for several
years. It is the worse thing an Ath
letic Association can be guilty of in us
.-conduct of a •'’ne. While no harm
was done yesterday people crowding
on the sidelines is distinctly unfair to
a visiting team. Hcme-folk may be
thoughtless in this matter but college
students know better. Had the crowd
gone on the field at Chapel Hill the
other day, the A. & w* would have
complained bitterly. No policemen
were provided and no serious effort
made to keep back the crowd. Tne
i referee and uiti" 1 **e have the rlght to
J penalize the home team in suen in
i stances and they should have done so.
Encroaching on the -Adelines by tne
students of a home team is unsports
manlike, to say the least.
Students May Merry.
The college students marched into
town last ni w ht. three hundred strong
in jubilation. They cheered and sang
and made merry. They had a right
to. They -have a fine team that plays
great ball.
The Game in Detail.
A. and M. won the toss and chose
tiie south goal, Clemson kicking off
ag.Jirivt the wind. The ball was kick
ed low and blocked by A. and M.. The
ball, however, bounded back towards
the charging Clemson men, one of
whom f ell on It.
On the lipe up Clemscu showed to
better advantage than sh» did during
the remainder of the game. The
first rush into the line netted her
eight yards, the men lined up in a
hurry and *ha second tush, ten seconds
later, tore A. and M.’s line wide open,
Holland breaking through for a gain
of twenty yards. Clemson gam.! five
yards through line, followed and re
peated a moment later by another
gain for same distance. Clemson goes
through right end for two yards,
through left tackle for twelve, through
right tackle for three. The A. and M.
line was being broken at every point.
Clemson tried center, however, with
out gain. The ball was then on A.
and M.’s six yard line, second down,
