VARSITY ILEVEII DOES IIP A M Score 30 io 0 (When Darkness Came On. GOOD WORK BY THE VISITORS Played a Snappy Game and Devel oped Fine Team Work. A. AND M. BOYS PLAYED A GRITTY GAME Though They Outweighed the Visi tors They Did Not. Have the Team Work. The Varsi ty Eleven Played as One Man. The. A.. and M. football team was no match for the sturdy players from the University of North Caro Una who won the game at the Fair grounds yesterday by the decisive score of 30 to 0. The A. and M. boys played a gritty game and contested for every inch -of space, often times making- brilliant plays, but they were out classed by the University, which battles next Saturday with the Uni versity of Virginia for the football championship of the South. It was a raw, biting- cold day and the weather was not calculated to bring out a big crowd, although a good number of people wrapped themselves up and journeyed out to the grounds to witne s the game. Darkness finally terminated the con test, the first half lasting 25 min utes and the second half 15 minutes. The farmers outweighed their op ponents, but thesy were not on to the fine points of the game. The Var sityeleven played as one man, and the.interierence;put'Up was tthe no ticeable feature of the .team .play. When -the ball was put in motion the '.runner , was well backed up. There was snap and ginger in the play-df thewisitors. Wi th the Var sity it , was eleven men .in every play and with the farmers this .was not the case. iGardener, Turner and Welscluof the A. and M. iteam did fine work, but they did not have the team play to back them up, as did Berkeley, Foust, Council and the Oarrstof the University. A.randM. had the kick ,off;and Wooten sailed the pig skin up the gridiron .for 25 yards. Carr, M., received the spere and made five yards'before he was halted. There were several successive gains for the required distance and then Ber keley half for the Varsity made a beautiful irun for 30 yards around the .right end. Good interference was the feature of the play. 'The Varsity boys had the ball -at the farmer's 20 yard line. The gains of the visitors were growing less each play and at the ten yard line Turner and ' Asbury made great tackles within open field. The ball went into the possession of the A. and M. at the seven yard line. Welsch circled the Varsity's left end for 2 1-2 yards, while Gardener hit the line twice for gains of three yards. Turner went through an opening for five yards, but here the farmers ruined their good playing on a fumble, the ball going to the University. Berkelev moved around right end for five yards, but the visitors failed to gain on the next two downs. The farmers made another break just here, being off side as the ball was put in play and the penalty for this was a gift of ten yards to the Varsity. This placed the ball on the A. and M. three yard line and Council hucked the centre safely, landing across the coveted goal line. Carr, W., kicked the goal Time of play 5 minutes and 20 seconds. Score, University, 6. A. and M. 0. Wooten kicked off again for the A. and M. with a. long drive up the field. Capt. Carr received the oval and advanced ten yards, and Berke ley circled the right end for 35 yards before he was brought to earth. The Varsity seesawed for a few minutes and then the ball went over for offside play. Welsch and! Turner both made gains of ten! yards each, with practically no as-! sistance. Gardener plunged through' the line for three yards and Wooten gained one yard. A. and M. stock: had risen way up and the cadets were wild with enthusiasm, believ ing they would score. Three des perate trials resulted without gains and the ball went over. Carr, Berkeley and Foust made succes sive gains, carrying the ball down to A. and M.'s goal. Foust went over the line in a mass play for the second touchdown. Carr split the goal. Time of play 8:40. Score, University 12, A. and M. 0. Neither team scored during the re mainder of the half. Both sides re sorted to the kicking game and there were some clever exchanges of long punts up the field. Berkeley made several runs behind splendid inter ference and there was a sensational tackle by Gulley. The farmers were putting up their best game at the end of the second half, when time was called. Successive rushes had given the farmers some thirty yards. The ball was on Carolina s 40 vard line at the end of the second half. The second half only lasted fif teen minutes, being called on ac count of the appaoaching darkness. The Varsity had the kick off, and Capt. Carr punted the ball down to the A. and M. 10 yard line, where it was captured by Wooten who made a splendid run for twenty yards. There was another slight gain and then the pig skin passed from one team to the other, finally returning to the possession of the University, when Foust took advan tage of an opening and shot across the field for a touchdown. Graves kidked the goal. Time of play 3:45. Score, University 18, A. and M. 0. Wooten for the A. and M. punted for 40 yards, but twenty of this was regained by Capt. Carr, who got the ball. There was a gain of ten yards, and several unsuccessful plays, when Capt. Carr punted for thirty yards. The kick was re turned for 25 yards. The Varsity still, stuck to the kicking game, but fumbled the ball for first time, los ing five yards. Capt. Carr tried again and drove the sphere for 40 yards. A. and M. fumbled but Gulley plunged through the line and got the oval. It was rocky playing along here, both teams fum bliug again in succession. The ball passed from one side to the other in a desultory sort of a way, when Berkeley got hold of the oval and made a magnificent dash for 35 yards to the A. and M. 15 yard line. There were gains of five yards after this when Foust made the fourth touchdown of the game and Graves kicked the goal. Time of play 13 minutes. Score, University 24, A. and M. 0. The next touchdown came quik and was made in less than two min utes. Wooten kicked off for the A. and M., landing the sphere up the field a distance of 30 yards. Capt Carr returned the kick for a dis tance of 40 yards and in attempting to punt the ball again it got away from Asbury. Jones, the Varsity guard, seized the sphere and sprint ed across the field for the fifth touchdown. Graves kicked the goal. Time of play, 15 minutes. Score, University 30, A. and M. 0. LINE UP.

William Jones, D. D. un der the auspices of the Y. M. C A. delivered his lecture, "The Boys in Gray," or the Private Soldier as. I Knew Him, in the Chapel Thurs day evening, Nov. lHh. Every cent of the proceeds went to furnish the Y. M. C. A. study room. Dr. Jones, chaplain as he wis of Lee's army, is prominent authority on Confederate history, and his work along this line merits the gratitude of every true Southerner. It goes without saying that his audience, spoken to by a man of such wide knowledge of his subject, was well entertained. Below is given a brief synopsis of his lecture. General Lee said: "the true heroes in the war are not the men in the rank, but the men in the ranks." Who were the privates in our army? Did secession conspirators force them into the war? No. Pri vate soldiers forced the leaders into the war. Abraham Lincoln by call ing for troops brought on the war. The lawyer lett his dent; the doc tor, his patient; the merchant, his customers, and the farmer his fur rows to give their service to the country. In the Confederate army was the brawn and sinew of south ern manhood and chivalry, The old Confederate soldiers have been honored by ail positions in the South. Let. us take a trip to Harper's Ferry at the opening of the war. We find beef piled up, soldiers well dressed and a beautful silk flag for every company. Dr. Jones said, "It shall never trail in the dust, but in ninety days it shall be planted .on the dome of the capital at Wash- ington. liut the scene cnanges. Poorer dress, brogan shoes, bare and bleeding feet on the march, re volvers and fine things disappeared, negro cook disappeared, silk ban ners changed to a tattered flag for each regiment. In the camps the soldiers were livelv and happy, btone wall Jack son never failed to raise a Cofeder ate yell. Here Dr. Jones gave a number of anecdotes illustrative of camp life. Then he showed by sta tistics the overwhelming odds against which Lee struggled. Election of Captain. A meeting of the football team was held last week to elect a cap tain for tliis year as the one elected last year did not return. Mr. Mar vin Carr was chosen. Important Notice.
