The o-reatest - earne of foot-ball
ever witnessed on a Southern grid
iron was won by Carolina last
Thursday in Richmond. The re
sult of the game was the outcome
nf two seasons of hard, conscientious
work by Coach Reynolds and his
team. The result of Thursday's
game shows that there i an. ele
ment in football which counts more
than mere pounds in. weight, or sim
ple brawn. It shows that superior
training and endurance accompanied
by cool clear head work tells more
. in the long run than mere strength:
While not disposed to make any dis
paragement of Virginia's team we
feel that it is nothing but truth to
say that better judgement, superior
training, and more scientific foot
ball won the game for Carolina.
It was a noble fight "and admirable
, .-. i
pluck and endurance was shown o
both teams. Carolina is proud
atid iustlv so of her gallant sons
and even if it should be possible in
the future tor any team to do better
work or win a more decisive victory,
we shall yet remember and point to
the team of '98 as the team that
broke the spell and checked Virgin
ia's monotonous series of victories.

of us, we would thank them to re

feats, contents itself with giving a

Is it any wonder that Carolina
does not win oftener when her vie
tories are so little appreciated.''

CHAMPIONS.
There was once a knight in ye olden days
Who f ought in the tournament's round ;
And being- so strong- and trained so. long-,
He brought ev'ry foe to ground.
But there came a chevalier out of the south

kicks and advanced the ball to per
fection. Koehler and Gregory at ends'
proved too strong for Virginia's
end nlavs and double nasses and
soon forced her to depend entirely
upon jier guards back, line left, and
line right formations.
Rhull and Bennett, tackles, broke
up'the regular mass-on-tackle plays
and when. 4 'guards-backs, was used
helped to break into the formation.
They helped in the interference
when we were on the aggressive.
By Virginia's way of playing
Cromartie was brought against
Collier and while he weighs 50
pounds less yet he makes up for
this loss in avoirprois by an unex-

Tar Heels have ever been back
ward in singing their own praise.
This virtue they have constantly
carried to such excess as almost to
become a crime. But the worst
be reached last Thursday.
It matters not what a few , isolated
and backward individuals may
think, foot-ball has become a great
i ; he i;fe of ouroeoole. And
so when, after months of self sacri
fice, hard work and tedious train
ing, a Carolina team goes, to a hos-
tile state and wins a great. $h uny,
it does seem to us that they deserve
from the State press- something
more than significant indifferetie or
unfriendly criticism. This is " ex
actly the greeting that .met jour
team on its return from Richmond,,
where it won the much coveted
-.t.,,ttVi;n nf the South. One
of the leading papers, published , at
the state capital went much out of
its way to give to our team a very
severe" and undeserved criticism.
A correspondent an old U, N. C.
man, who evidently knows nothing
of what he was" writing criticises
what foot-ball experts called a fine
exhibition of the sport, as babyish
Were the colors of his lady true)
He conquered in the fight.
There was once a team a foot -ball team ,
Not so very long ago. . , .
Through superior pounds ; with a few
touchdowns
It conquered its every foe.
But a little team a plucky team ;
Came out of a sister state. .
And, strong in the strength of thedue
a fid white,
Knights of the gridiron-born to fight,
It settled Virginia's fate.
Then
Here's to ye knight of ye olden days
Who fought f or his lady true :
And here's to the Champions of the South,
The fellows of N. C. U. , i,'
