OUR FOOT BALL CROWD.
The following are comments 'ffom
some of the New York papers on the
football team of the University of
North Carolina, which met Lehigh
in New York Saturday. It is pleas
ant to see that they all have a good
ooinion of the Tar Heels and attri
bute the defeat solely to a lack of
training. All the reports show that
Baskerville, full back, did the star
work for North Carolina, and inti
mate that if Wheodbec had not been
injured he would have scored for the
Southerners.
The New York Press says: It was
something new which a New York
audience saw at Manhattan Field
yesterday afternoon. A football
team from south of Mason and Dix
on's line, fn in Chapel Hill, near
Raleigh, N. C, came to the metro
polis yesterday, They represented
the University of North Carolina
and did it eomunmdably. They had
'as opponents a sturdy lot of youths
from Bcthleliem, Pa., the eleven of
Lehigh University, which has done
a great deal this fall toward putting
Bethlehem on the map.
Pn.- tin, first time a New York
"' -----
crowd heard the rattling yell of the
North Carolinas, and the appearance
of the light blue and white of North
Carolina opposite the brown and
white of Lehigh suggested to the
prophetically inclined future contests
in which the champions of the south,
,.. the great West and the East should
be pitted against ouo another for the
United States.
Tli ' Southerners presented a most
ni-omising appearance as they lined
st. the Lehiirh lads. They
are well put together, active, quick
unon their feet and muscular, and
considering their lack of experience
with the Northern game, gav(
Lehigh a very good tussle of it
North Carolina did not expect to
win. so thev did practically as muc
as they anticipated doing by holding
Leeigh down to 80 odd points, iiau
not Half Back Wheedbee, of the
University of North Carolina, been
iniured earlviu the game, it is very
likely that his team would have scor
ed. By most brilliant dashes around
end and through the center he car
ried the center to Lehigh's seven
yard lino during the first fifteen min
utes. Then the brave fellow had his
knee injured, and had to retire from
the field. Again later in the game
Left Half Back Tull, of the Univer
sity of North Carolina, was injured
and had to retire. Graham took his
Win fp. Tn 11 had been doing fine
work and his withdrawal weakened
t.bn firm them eleven nreceptibly.
The New York World says: Mind
prevailed over matter yesterday in
the battle of the "North against the
South," on Manhattan Field. The
Lfthifrh University football team
1 .i mod fn renresent the North
against the big, heavy team of the
University of North Carolina. The ( he boys from the Southland put up jJJ jj ( . I U.

parison with the Southerners, but j was against them. They went for
.'.'.. . , - . t 3
the brilliant execution of highly de-1 the center all the time ana seemeu
veloped scientific tactics downed not to understand the utility of end
their opponents thirty-four points to
nothing in two forty five minute
halves: bnt although the score was
one-sided the work of the teams was
not.
If these Southern menhadhad any
scientific knowledge of the game
they would have easily beaten Le
high. All their gains were made
by sheer force and brute strength,
yard by yard they slowly crushed
their opponents down the field with
in short distances of the goal line,
only to lose the ball on a fumble or
on downs. They tried only three
times during the entire arame to run
around ends and gained only eight
yards on one of the runs. They had
no interference their flying wedges
were childishly executed, but they
continuously hammered at the cen
tre and generally made sure gains.
On the other hand Lehigh tried
both the centre and the ends, but al
of the long runs were made around
the ends, especially around the
Southerner's left cud. She had lots
of tricks, and but for wretched fumb
ling on double passes would have
gained more ground.
Tim Mew York Sun savs: The
J. UV - ' v '
University of North Carolina, the
first of the Southern colleges to in
vade the football field of the North,
were defeated at the Manhattan Field
yesterday afternoon, the sturdy Le-
high University team. The Caroli
na's played a plucky uphill game,
but were at no time a match tor tne
superior players from Pennsylvania.
They know the rudimeuis ot the
game very well and play in : are good
form, but they are not learned in
tha further intricacies of the game.
They appeared on the field very fresh
after their long journey from the
South, and they made a good im
pression on the spectators. It was
a matter for regret that the numoei
of spectators should have been so
small as the Southerners deserved a
warm welcome.
The New York Herald says: Sharp
u-nrk marked the game between the
,. ., TT ' I.. T-V.1
elevens ot tue univeisnj i.
flnvolina and Lehigh. It was a roug.i
contest from start to finish and sev
eral of the players were so badly dis
n.bld that they were forced to leave
the field. The playing ot the bouth
vTiPvs was a disappointment. They
fumbled the ball badly and piayea
very loosely. .Occasionally they
mn.lA food crams through Jjemgu s
centre, but were unable to get arouna i
the ends of the Bethlehem College
team.
The New lork Tribune says: Le
high University and the University of
xrvh Carolina, the North against
plays. Consequently their defensive
work was weak in this respect as well
as their offensive play. The long
trip to this city probably also told
against the North Carolina boys.
