Matubby did his part well as did the rest of the Trinity team but they were simply outclassed. "History did not repeat itself" and Trinity lost by the largest score U. N. C. ever made against them. For the University Capt. Basker ville put up his usual fine game and generalled his team splendidly. Every man on the team played his part.

Durjiam, (cpt.) Moore, R. T. Smith. Collier, R. G. Cole. Sharp, C. Stanford. Guion, L. G. Fry. Pugh, L. T. Caldwell. Rankin, L. E. Sparger. Slocumb, Q, B. Black. Denson. R. H. B. Matubby.

Score in favor of the University 28-0. Songs used in University-Trinity foot ball game, October 24th 1894. To The Tune of Sweet Marie. I've a secret to impart, Trinity, We.re going to break your heart, Trinity; And you'll think that Judgment Day Is'nt very far away, when the referee calls Play! Trinity. You will see Trinity, Trinity how it will be That your faces fearful sights are to see Every star that studs the sky Then will wink the other eye, and bid you "Go and die," Trinity. The foot ball team leaves for Asheville to-morrow morning, where they will play Sewanee on Satur day. This is sure to be an inter esting game as the teams are very evenly matched. It promises to be a society event, and if the weather is "propitiatory" there will be a very large crowd. This will cheer both the boys and the management. CHORUS. You will see Trinity, Trinity, you will see What the White and Blue will do will be A. P. For with Collier, King and Pugh, We will break your line in two, and we'll walk all over you, Trinity. When the sunset tints the west. Trinity Yon can't lay down to rest, Trinity Your pants will be awful sore You'll have plasters by the score, And you 11 stand up to snore, Trinity. In the morn when you awake, Trinity, All your bones will seem to ache, Trinity For they threw you to the ground With many a bruise and wound, And you know that you were downed, Trinity. Tune, "They Wanted Me To Take His Place. Old Trinity at Durham's town is in an awful stew, They've lost their famous full back, Tom, and don't know what to do; 'Twas just a month ago to-day they felt so very sore, When a telegram to Durham said that Tom would play no more. So Johnson had to take his place and do the OO best he could, To try and break the N. C. line, tho' trying was no good, And then he went for Merritt's end, but Merritt he was there, And Johnson he could do no more than Dan iels did last year. We are much ashamed of the way in which our students guyed the Trinity students at the game on yesterday. It was not decent, it was not courteous to guests and the Fact that we were badly treated last year on their grounds cannot be an excuse for us. We must remember hat the University has a reputation o uphold. The excellent playing of Captain Durham and Mr. Matubby, of Trinity, are especially worthy of mention. The life of the team was centered around Capt. Durham and he conducted his men in the most gentlemanly way and did hard work for his side. The hard rushing and fine bucking of the line, the excel lent tackling and the successful breaking up of interference of Mr. Matubby were unsurpassed feat ures of yesterday's game. Trinity came singing, "We're the bovs that beat the game of '93, And we re going to beat the srame of '94." But they didn't. Second Game With A. & M. On Saturday October 20th, in Athletic Park, Raleigh, N. C, the 'Varsity won a second game from the A. & M. College, by a score of 16-0. The day was rather warm for foot ball, and the field was in a piti able condition, so the game was not what many expected. The attend was quite slim, the spectators being mainly A. & M. students. The game was called at 2:15 P. M., and twenty and fifteen minute halves were played. Only one score was made in the first half, and that in six and a half minutes, .Varsity played slowly, lacked spirit, and showed no "ginger; the kickingan d passing were both poor. The line played loosely, fre- , quently letting the A. & M. backs through. Denson and Stephens made touchdowns, and Baskerville kicked two out of three goals, The A & M. players showed im provement in some directions, but had less team work than in the first game. The team returned in the same afternoon. The teams lined up as follows: . U. N. C. (16) A. & M. wf Merritt, K. E. wngnt Baird, I p t Pearson Moore I Collier, R. G. Hunter Sharpe, C. Moseley, fliiirMi K. G. uey Pugh, L. T. Walton Rankin, L. E. Vic! Stanly,- F..B. Beard Denson, R. H. B. Kendal q u t ti n I Whitaker, Cpt Stephens, L. H. 13 j Alexander Baskerville, , (Capt) . F. B.
