won from North Carolina btrl mat?rd?y
by the score of >0 to I, making
th* ninth consecutive victory In
the annual Thanksgiving day clash
between th# football teams representing
the leading universities of their
respective States. The game was devoid
of spectacular features, bet -was
hotly contested, the Carol'nlans making
a surprising resistance at times.
The game was witnessed by one of
the largest crowds In the history of
John 8kelton Williams, comptroller
of the treasury; Josephne DaAlels.
Secretary of the Navy, add Tyros
Raymond Cobb.
Virginia outclassed North Carolina
In every particular, ltd fast backs
gaining ground at will. The visitors
were on the defensive for the larger
part of the game. Old-tftyle football
was resorted to, not a single forward
pass being made by either team.
Virginia scored three touchdowns by
gruelling Une plunging, while Carolina
made its lone score by the field
goal route, the ball being kicked
by Tandy from the 40-yard llna
Gooch. Mayor and Colemaj starred
for Virginia, while Captain Taylos,
Tandy. Homewood and Parker play
