You are not so many Virginia! Now do you think so? We made you feel as if you were not, didn't we? "Old Virginia is in the soup, S-o-u-p C-o-u-p Soup! Soup!! Soup!!!" That was the yell the three hun dred enthusiastic Carolina support ers were singing Thursday while on their way to Richmond, and that was the yell the same contingent was singing after the struggle .with the long haired pig skin chasers from Virginia, was over. With the scalps of the Indians dangling in their belts, helmet ted, armored, padded, mighty in the glory of their youth and magnificent strength, the University of Virginia foot ball warriors found out in fif teen minutes Thanksgiving Day that they were against eleven fight ing men, "Tar Heels," North Caro- G.

A spirit of confidence, which was shown in various ways, possessed the Orange and Blue, and the spirit of "I am Lord of all I survey" reigned su preme. While the two teams were warm ing up, the ten thousand cold, chill- G. L.
