J, Will act as judge and award prizes. By A. U FLETCHER. Camp Stewart, El Paso, Texas, Dee. 22. The football game Sunday between the team of the First Nf'i Carolina snd the Kicl:h Ohio deserves more than passing mention. It was a battle royal oeiween iwo unaricaien icams. The Tar Heel team hnd nobeen scored on and the record of the Ohio was al most a good. When the smoke of bat tle, hsd cleared away the Tar Heel goal line was still uncrossed and the Ohio lads had been shoved off their perch j ; at the bead of the percentage column, leaving only North Carolina and the Eighth Field Artillery, regulars, with a 1.000 percentage. The El Paso, papers -.f call the victory a one-man victory, git ' r? ing all credit to James J. Britt, Jr.. the kr4 Tar Heels' sensitionsl fullback. Britt's bf playing was indeed wonderful but he H had a mighty team behind him. The 3 Ohio 'Inds never made a down through g the Tar Heel line. The only first Town, 55 with whieh they are credited was made i S by a lucky forward pass. They broke i 55 through the Carolina lines, for' giins'lSf only twice in the entire game, while 5 Uritt smashed through the Buckeye line ; for long gains time after time. He ', fr-J found it impregnable only once and that was wheu the Tar Ileels had the sj TJTiioans-l-aetcd "tip r undert1ieTidow-T of their goal posts at the beginning of gug the fourth quarter. Falling to get g through in three attempts, he worked a , 3 perfect forward pass to W. Orijrjrs, J 5 right end. back of the goal line, mak ing the first tourhilown. - The- seeo-nd- touchdown Inter -irr the aame quarter and Britt made it. He was called on to bnrk the line through guard and by the help of some of the finest interference ever seen on any field, he broke through snd ran 00 yards for the second touchdown. Carson kicked both goals perfectly. Bob Voting sided materially in the mnking of this touchdown, for he spilled two of the Ohio barka, leaving Britt only one man- to handle alone. , He. was par.-, tieularly good on interference 'brought out the game nnd made many line en I runs. In broken field running he is the best man on the team snd has devel oped a wonderful amo'int of speed. Sev eral times Sunday his end runs came to naught for the reason that his inter ference wn too slow and could not keep up with him. The Tar Heel team has one game standing between, it nnd championship in Division A of the Army League. This game is with the Eighth Field Artillery (regulars) and will lie played on Christmas dsy. The winner in this game will play the winner in Division B for the Border Championsh p on New Year day. tacb division is made up of seven teams, representing the reg ular army and all of the States having national guard units on duty in the El Psso district. Tar Heels are not strong for this Sunday football stuff. It is not their idea of Sunday amusement at all, but they found the lesgue schedule !raeti cally complete when they butted into the game in October and it waa not easy to get out. Nobody seema to have any regurd for the Habhath down here anv way and the foree of example is such that if you tarry long in Home you will soon nnd yourself doing nil Koine lc or going It one better. If you go to church you find tlint mighty few of the natives are there, and nino times out f fen you will find that n.orr. Jhau h of the congregation aro soldiers. The "natives" are at the movies, or in the score of booze clubs and poolrooms all, of which run full blast on b'unilay.
