THE PRINCETON GAME.
The Tigers are Too, Strong for
Our Boys.
Our team ' met Princeton last
Wednesday at'Princenon, N. J., and
wpre defeated- by a score of 30 to
I 0 But from this score it is im-
I nossible to judge the comparative
r
strength of the"' two teams. Our
boys were in a very.poorHcondition,
owing mostly to the Annapolit
wffle. and their oooonents did not
. X M.
put up the game that was expect
ed of them.' But under the circum
stances Carolina many times held
the Timers down and forced them
to cunt. In the first half it seemed
j.
as if our opponents' had a walk-over,
as they seemed to find not a few
holes in our line, but towards the
latter part of the game' the Tigers
made gains mostly by short lint
olavs. The Nexu York Herald
says: "N. C. played a very snappy
game and made Princeton work for
every grain. For N. C, Graves and
Osborne played a very fast game.';
Often our men broke through the
line and threw the runner back for
considerable loss. Princeton many
times felt the strength of our line
and four or five timeswas forced 'to
. give. the ball to Carolina on downs.
The weather was not the kind that
makes a team play good ball. And
at the kick off there was not the
slighest breeze stirring.
Carolina wins the toss and receives
the kick. Mattis sends the ball
spinning back to N. C's. 20 yd. line.
