THE MORNING P.OST THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 17. I QO 4 TBALL PLAYED T NISH AT r - fc '"""- . . Score Six to Six Between University and Ay & M. College-Hard Fought and Clean Game. Witnessed by-. Reccrd-breaking Growd Too Much Fumbling Chapel Hill, N. C, Nov. 16 Special. The game of football here .this after noon between the University of North Carolina and the A. and M. College of Raleigh resulted in a tie, six to six. Kach side scored a touchdown, and each side kicked goal. It was one or the prettiest games ever played in North Carolina, or anywhere else. It was Carolina spirit and grit against the same qualities on the, other side. The game was between state institu tions, and both wanted to rwihV Friends rooted hard on both sides; arid not un til time was called did-anybody fee, safe and then, happy ending, it was a. tie. I say happy ending because the athletic spirit, so far as it relates to contests between our state r colleges, has been a dead issue. The game here this afternoon is calculated to revive the Spirit of friendly and wholesome rivalry. It was a fair and a clean light, with every man on his skill and muscle. Spectators were enthusiastic In saying it was the best game they rver saw. But while it was a clean athletic contest there was running through it all a feature making it possible for each contestant to figure out how it might have won. That feature was fumbling, and had either team cut it out it meant victors'. Both team fumbled a plenty, and too much, but with that exception there was nothing left to be desired. There was plenty tif snap and ginger without the brutal slugging which has characterized too many football games. One eminently refreshing feature of the game was the absence of kicking and it was a football game, too. I mean there were no kicks registered against the officials of the game. Mr. M. J. Thompson of Georgetown was umpire and Mr. Trc-nchard of Prince ton was referee. Both gentlemen know the game and their work today Tvas absolutely perfect. The captains of both teams told me they could not find the least grounds for complaint. Mr. W. S3. Kienholz, coach,, for A. and M., said to me that Mr. Thompson was the best umpire he ever saw. The most difficult part 'of the story Is to tell who did the finest work. . Tho poorest work I am willing to leave to the drastic critics or professional knockers to exploit. For good work for A. and M. here was the whole team, but as coming under my partic ular notice I mention Captain Aber nathy, who was in the game every second; and with' him - waa Wilson, Gardner and others. For Carolina I mention particularly Townsend," Bear, Webber, Stewart and Story. Winboro, who took Bear's place near the close of the last half, made a sensational run of thirty-five yards, which was a feature. Carolina scored in about one min ute from the time play was called at the beginning of the first half. A. & M. had the ball" but fumbled near Carolina's goal. The ball was given to Webber who fumbled. Townsend got the ball, was tackled but Stewart and Webber carried him over -for a touch down. It" then looked like a walk-over for Carolina, but A. & M. recovered from stage fright and ham mered the bo3rs down the field for about fifteen minutes and passed the bail beyond the goal line for a touch down. Then it was that honors, and the score were even, and it so remain ed until the finish. Strong, hard, but quiet' work characterized the entire game, and when time was called Caro lina had worked the ball by a series of hard plunges and Winborn's thirty five yard run to her twelve-yard line, and it looked like victory for them had a little more time been given. A. & M. seemed satisfied and regarded the score as a victory. The star players were .carried from the field on the shoulders of shoutiri'g. and enthusiastic admirers. Some Details of the Game The game was called at 2:53 o'clock and was witnessed by the largest' cr&wd ever assembled to see a foot ball game on the local grounds. Ncarly five hundred people came on the spe cial train from Raleigh, and the at tendance was estimated at more than two thousand. The teams lined up as follows: Carolina. Stewart (C.) .. Center .. Seagle R. G. ... A. & sr. Lykes, T. ,." .. Perkins Gardner Lykes, L. G. Lykes Abernathy (C.) Story R. T. Barry R. E. . Maness L. G. Webber L. T. Townsend ' L. E. Gregory Jacocks Q. B Sadler Newton R.

In the first half the number of first downs made by A. & M.- was 8; number of 3-ards gained by runs 80; number of yards gained by kicks 101. In the sec ond half number of first downs by A. -&. M. 10; number of yards gained by runs 98; . number of yards gained by kicks S3. In the first half Carolina's number of first downs was 12; number of yards gained by runs 79; number of yard gained by kicks 108. In the second half first downs 18; number yards gained by runs 155; number yards gained by kicks The next game , played by A. & m avIII be in Raleigh Thanksgiving day' when they will try conclusions with Sapel Clemson. On the same day Carolina will tackle her, old athletic adversary, the University of Virginia, in Rich-! mond, when a special train with ample accommodations will be run over the' Seaboard Air Line from Raleigh. Caro-; lina is going to Richmond with. ' a; strone: feeling of its ability to win. Captain Stewart of Carolina said to-; night that the A. & M. team was a finei one and played- good ball. It is safe to 'say' that no close game in this state; ever ended with -better feelingbetyeeni the opposing teams than the game here today. Many are in favor ot making the XL N. C. and A. & M. game an an nual event." ' ' Gov. Winthrop Sails San Juan, P. R., Nov. 16. Governor Winthrop sailed today for New York.

AMERICAN FEDERATION BEATEN BY CHICAGO : San Francisco, Nov. 16. There was a lively fight in the American Federation of Labor convention today over the seating of John Mangan, who came from Chicago bearing credentials from the Gardners and Florist3 Union. Many of the most eloquent orators In I the convention took the floor and dis cussed the merits of and law bearing upon the credentials offered by Mangan, and in the end by a close roll call vote the members of the federation, embrac ing President;Gompers and most of the members of the executive committee, were defeated. Mangan was given his seat. The importance of this . contro versy is shown by the fact that in the seating of Mangan an issue that has been before the federation for four years was practically decided and also that a long step was taken in the di rection of victory tor the Chicago" Fed eratio nof Labor, which is under sus pension from the American Federation of Labor.
