M., Wednesday, Oct. 61, and on 1 ie same afteuoon, met the team of I ehigh University on their own founds. The two teams lined up al follows: 1 -high (24) E -st, L. E. I ouston, h. T. I eyst L. G.

We take the following" account of the g"ame irom the Bethlehem limes. Lehigh 24, University xf North Carolina 6. That was the score. And it was an exciting-, hard foug"ht, jlime, despite, the large score. In fict, more exciting" g-ames of foot- fill have been on Lehigh s gridiron lis season than ever before Le- wghyorJy .yoa . Q'vA Jker superior, all around playing". The rain kept away what was ex- cted to be the greatest crowd of t ie season, but fortunately ceased lung" enough for the game to be 1 layed. The oval was quite mud (I v, and was dotted with small pools o : water. A few hours before the ! ame it was a veritable lake. Yet i: nder these exciting" circumstances, I ehigh won, and it was a brilliant ictory, too, for her opponents play c 1 foot ball like demons. Two 35 minute halves were f. layed, Lehig-h scoring" 12 points in t ie first half and a like number in i te second, while the visitors made i leir only points near the close of tie game. Several times Lehigh 1 st the ball on downs on the very I oint of scoring", and as often block c 1 the visitors and secured the ball hen dang"erously close to their Loal. It was not a kicking g-ame. '- he ball was too heavy to puni. J oth teams forced their ground 'by l ard work,' the grearer part of v hich was done by Capt. Traf ton and Guion. Play began shortly after 3 i clock, with the visitors guarding" t ie west goal and the high wind in ieir favor. Lehigh punted to the t ve yard line, Baskerville gaining 1 ) yards. The Carolina backs forked the ball back to the center the field, where Trafton secured U on n fiitnhlp. TVatrnn sTint ound the right end for 20 yards, t was called back and the ball iven to the vintors tor holdimr. ehigh's line blocked hard and the Visitors wprp fnivprl n kirk. Thp all became Lehigh's on the 45 yard ne. The ball was soon caried in- the visitors' teritory to be lost on Jumble. Baskerville kicked to 30 yard line. "Brace up boys," cried Captain Teafton, and, imbued with new life and vigor, to all appearance, the leather was carried down to the vis itors' goal line, Thurston going over with it on the last run of 10 yards. It was a difficult goal that Fitzgerald kicked. The ball was soon on Lehigh's 20 yard line, carried there by Ste phens's 30 yard run. Lehigh se cured it on downs and Trafton made 30 yards in two runs. Then Hous ton and Keys were brought out of the line and made bier grains. The ball was lost on the 15 yard line. Being near their goal, the signal was eriven to kick. The ball was blocked by OKeson's clever inter ceptance of it and Houston fell on it. He was five feet from a touch down and with half the visiting team on his back crawled over the line with the ball. It was on this misplay that Lehigh scored her sec ond touchdown. Again goal was kicked. In the early part of the second half the first pretty play of Jthe g-ame took place. Thurstor secur ed the ball on a double pass from Trafton and ran 35 yards before he was downed. Trafton added 20 more on a left end run, and just one half dozen plunges at the line were made beiore Houston was shoved over for the third touch down. Goal was kicked. After hard work from the kick off, the Carolinians by mass playing and bucking the line got the ball to Lehigh's 10 yard line. Guion dashed at the left end like a tiger, and succeeded in carrying Best, who tackled well, over the line with the ball. It was the visitors' first points. Goal was kicked. Thurston and Trafton by succes sive runs a few minutes later had the ball close to the visitors' goal. After a little clever playing Thurs ton planted the ball down again for a touch down and Fitzgerald kicked goal. It was after this play that the visitors got the ball on their 10 yard line for off side play and Guion made his phenomenal run of 70 yards, Holderuess throwing him on the 15 yard line. Lehigh got the ball here and had worked it close to the visitors' goal, and another touch down was inevitable. But time was called. The work of Trafton and Thurs ton behind the line was all that was expected. The work of the entire team shows that they have begun playing winning ball again. For the visitors the coaching of Capt. Baskerville and the running and tackling of Guion were features. The southerners are quick, snappy players, much stronger in the ag gressive than defensive. Rutgers 5, Carolina 0. To tackle a team such as Lehigh on one day and then try Rut gers on the next was just a little more than our team could success fully manage, and so they were de' featd by a score of 5 to 0. The playing; while hard was not up to that of the day before. In looking over the list of the separate gains, we are struck with the fact that there were very few long runs and whatever distances gained were by hard and continued trying for one, two and three yards with an occa sional longer run. The longer gains were made by Collier 7 yards; Collier,; 15 yards; Denson 7 yds; Baskerville 10; Denson 15 and Stan ley 9. The longer runs for Rut gers during the first half were made by Gabe Ludlow 7 yards; Geo. Lud low 7; Geo. Ludlow 20. When time was called Carolina had the ball on Rutger's, eighteen yard line and the score was 0-0 In the second half Denson gains 8; Stanley 10; Stanley .7. Gains are made for Rutgers by Geo Ludlow 25 yards; Gabe Ludlow 10 and then 7; Van Dyck kicked a goal from the fifteen yard line. Time 19 min utes, ' " '"' ' ' ' Baskerville then kicks the ball over the goal line and time is cailed. Score 5-0. The game was a hard fought one and the great number of times that the ball changed sides on four downs or on fouls is very noticable. We hope that we may to meet them on the field again when we are in better trim. The teams lined up as follows: Rutgers. Carolina. Mason, E. E. Rankin. Decker, L. T. Pugh. Ranney, E. G. Guion. Mills, C. Sharpe. Carpenter, R. G. Collier. Scudder, R. T. Baird. Danner, R. E. Merritt. Deuise, Q. B. Slocumb. Gobe Eudlow, R. H. B. Stanley. Geo. Eudlow, L. H. T. Denson. Van Dyck, F. B. Baskerville. Umpire, Jayne, Princeton; Referee, James, Princeton; Einesman, Scudder. Rotgers. Overheard at the Trinity game Visitor Why does the team have such gay stockings? U. N. C. Ma?iSo they will bo lond enough to keep them awake during the game with Trinity. ' z University Gun Club. The latest departure in the stu dent life of the University, is a real, live, Gun Club, which some of the sports are getting up. A trap, and five hundred clay pidgeous, have been received, and the first shoot took place on Thursday afternoon, on the field east of Athletic Park. Organisation will be perfected this afternoon at presnt, the following constitute the club: Atkinson, Bridgers, Bryson, Gatling, Hen derson, Long, N. C, McRae, L., Page, Weaver, and Winston, H. T. Six more members will be added in order to make the membership sixteen. U. N. C. 20, Georgetown 4. While our team did not bring home all the victories we desired, yet they did g"ain the one which it was most important for them to win. The gfame was called at 3:30 and the ball was given to Carolina. Baskerville kicked off and Mahoney, the big half-back of Georgetown, gains much of the dis tance by runs of 7, 5, 10 and 4 yards. Georgetown is then held for three downs, and is forced to kick. Guion gets the ball. Collier then makes 3 and Pugh 30 yards. Then by short gains the ball is slowly advanced and Collier makes a touch-down. Grego ry holds the ball and Baskerville kicks the goal. Score 6 0. Georgetown kicks oil and Carolina catches, and rushes the ball twenty yards. Then by hard rushing Caroli na gains thirty-five yards and Basker ville is hurt, but very grittily plays on. Georgetown returns the ball 18 yards by hard rushing and then Carolina gains it on a fumble. By two nice runs, one of 15 yards by Stephens and one of 26 by Guion, and several short er ones Stephens makes the second touch-down and Baskerville missed a very difficult goal. Score 10 0. For the next touch-down Moore and Guion each carry the ball 15 yards, and by shorter gaitrj rf madp thcvjlnrd. touch-down and Baskerville kicks the goal. Score 16 0. Neither side scored during the rest of the half. The second half was opened with a kick off by Georgetown. North Caro lina carries it back a few yards, when it is again lott to Georgetown and Murphy makes 12 and Bohen 10 yards, and by shorter rushes it is advanced to the 3 yard line, when North Carolina takes it and carries it back for 25 yards, but the ball goes over and by a series of plays Murphy scores a touch-down for Georgetown but he fails at the goal. Score 16 4. The ball is quickly carried across the line by Stephens for another touch down and Baskerville missed the goal. Score 204. The teams lined up as follows. U. N. C.
