When the season opened in Sep tember and we looked around we Stephens, Sharpe, Merritt, Stanley and White, sub- found we had Baird, Collier, Capt. Gregory center of '94. From the impossibility of Guion returning- to College, the. captaincy of the team was left vacant. So it was decided that the advisory com mittee select a tempoary Captain to bec later ratified by the team. Capt. Gregory was selected. In addition to these old men, But ler, of Univ. of - Ga.: Whitaker, of A. & M. ; Hurley, Wright, Nicklin, Williams, of V. M., I. McRae and Haywood entered upon the training pledge, and from these men, Mr. Trenchard and Capt. Gregory made the strongest team that ever donned an N. C. sweater. In the early part of the season old Towser aharpe was- laia up with a badly injured arm and we were sorry that he was not able to put on uniform for the rest of the season. But we are glad to record that though the team played harder than ever before, this was the only serious accident that happened dur ing the season. The first game of the year was, as usualwith A. & M. and it show ed us many weaknesses which we were surprised to find. But after this the team braced up and in the following week defeated Richmond College, a much stronger team, by a score of 34 to 0. In another week the team left for its Southern trip, playing Univ. of Georgia, Vanderbilt and Sewanee. The game with Georgia dampen ed the hopes of many when the score was announced, 6 to 0; but when the detailed account was read, we found that Georgia was a much stronger team than we had suppos ed. I . y From there, the team journeyed to Vanderbilt and put up a remark able game winning by a score of 12 to 0, notwithstanding 'Council's en treaties to the Vanderbilt team. After jthe first five minutes of the game, it became evident that the team we had looked to for our hard est game, was weak enough to let Carolina win easily. Then, tired out, we played Se wanee. The score to Sewanee's joy was 0 to 0, the result of the poorest game Carolina put up dur ing the season. : Sewanee put up the best she had and her play was fast and snappy. Our offensive play was quite poor as both guards were sore and stiff and nearly all the halfbacks we had broken up so that it was only our misfortune and not our fault that we did not score. For financial reasons the man agement found it best to arrange second ffame with Georeria. On the way, from Sewanee to Atlanta, Mr Trenchard worked unceasingly on the players with hot water and lin lments. The result was that we went into the second Georgia game in much better trim than the Se wanee game and the result proved that we were superior to Georgia without anv doubt. The score was 10 to 6 and Georgia was satisfied There remainad only one more game before Thanksgiving-, with the Blacksbure fVa.) team. This - C7 ' game was played in Charlotte and we found the Virginia A. & M. the fastest team we rjlaved during- the season. The score was 32 to 5, Watts kicking a beatiful goal from the 43 yard line. Then we came back to secret oractice and a determination to do our best in Richmond. But for va rious reasons, the game was lost by a score of 6 to 0. So our record is one game lost, one tied and six won. We have scored 130 points, our oppents 17 We have rjlaved the strongest col- leges of the South and point with oride to the record of the team of JL. '95. At every place they have visi ted they have won admiration for their behavior and without doubt made many new friends for Caro Una. And this pride comes too from the great increase of "college spirit" which our new growth in athletics and in every other branch of University life, has instilled into us. We are, I think, in our 101st year entering on a new era in ath letics, and with the ardent support of the students, alumni and friends, we hope to see the team of '96 eclipse the brilliant record of '9o. It is said that Edmond Clarence Stedman has been pffered a profes sorship in Yale University; but has declined. Tlic Virginia Game. Extracts from Leading Papers. While it has been justly said that the result of the game was in a large measure due to our fumbling yet with all this we confidently be lieve that but for the interference of the crowd'and the dicisions of the umpire the game would still have been ours and in support of this be lief we quote the following extracts from some of the leading ; papers of Virginia and North Carolina: From the Richmond r Dispatch of Nov. 29: "That the score was indicative of the respective merits of the teams is an open question." (then after Virginia had made her touchdown). "From this'point on ward, the game was without any extraordinary featn re, the players were completely surrounded by the mob and the great mass of specta tors were unable to see anything of the game." "Merritt, who was ruled off the field for tackling, was owe of North Caro- TT A t t una s best men. tie naci played in the Thanksgiving games here : for four years and his removal weaken ed the team considerably. He play ed right end and not until after he was ruled out did Virginia begin to make any progress and a majority of the advances made by Capt. Pen ton were made around right end. It was around this end that Lang made his phenomenal run scoring a touchdown." , From, the Richmond Times, Nov. 29: "If there had been one more min ute of play at end of first half Car olina would certainly have scored, and had it not been for the inter ference of the crowd Carolina would most assuredly have scored twice during the half, as Virginia was powerless to stop the magnificient system of end playing that Tren chard had developed." Then came one of the last plays of the game in which Carolina would certainly have scored but for the crowd. The ball was passed to Stephens and he skirted Bullett's end and got clear of Virginia tack- lers but the crowd hemmed him in and before he could get through them Lang had tackled him. Vir . . . t . i. i r ginia can congratulate nerseu that the crowd was there, for if Stephens had had a clear field he would undoubtedly have scored." f '.'Students from the University of Virginia seemed to disregard the wishes of their play ers and rushed back and forth over he ground while the ball was in play. They interferred with Ste phens while in the act of making a brilliant play." From the Richmond Star Nov. 29: "As to the game of football, it can hardly be said that a game was plaved. From ten to fifteen thou sand people paid from fifty cents to one dollar to see a crowd ot drunk- Cort eluded on fourth page. i J,
