II FAR JUo Vol. 13, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30,1904. No. 10. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. A A m m HEE H uH VIRGINIA WINS IN THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED IN THE SOUTH. Carolina Loses by a Single Point Luck Decides a Hard Fought Game by the Close Margin of Eleven to Twelve An Immense Crowd,Cu rious, Gay and Restless. The game was the greatest ever olaved bv Southern teams. Two t j -j strong teams played before the greatest crowd that ever . saw a football game in the South, and they played the game that was the most important of the year to both of them. Both teams were in splen did condition and were nearly equal in weight; Carolina was much lighter in tho line but had heavier backs. There were but two fum bles in the game, and it is not too much to say that each team did its best. Carolina carried the ball much farther in rushes and kicked farther. But she lost. And luck decided the game. The press dis patches said it was the "irony of fate that a Carolina man gave Vir ginia the point that decided the game." Coach Brown said that he never saw before an incident like Webber's knocking the ball over the cross bar. .Perhaps it was luck, perhaps it wasn't, that made Barry fail for the first time this year to kick a goal. There was individual starring in the game and splendid team work Carpenter played a wonderful game. iownsend showed what he has in other games this year, that there is not a better end in the South. Ja cocks and Barry were stars. Stew art was great. For Virginia Coun cil. Lankford and the Johnsons were the stars.
