CAROLINA THE VICTOR
Virginia Crushed on Lafayette Field Thursday by Over
whelming Score of Seventeen to Nothing Worst
Defeat Inflicted in Many, Many Years.
t ' r - v T
GREAT DAY IN NORFOLK'S HISTORY
Old Dominion's Team Outclassed at Every Point of the
Game -Carolina's Perfect Team Work and Fierce
Linebucking Smashes Virginia's Line at
Will Varsity a Team of Stars.
The proud ami far famed eleven
of the University of Virginia, out
classed at every point but fighting
to the last, went down in defeat be
fore the irresistible onslaught of
the prouder and more far famed
eleven of the University of North
Carolina at Lafayette Field in Nor
folk last Thursday. Eleven Tar
Heel football players, sworn to
uphold the prestige of their Alma
Mater, bearing as a sac ted trust the
honor of the Old North State, with j
the scent of battle in their nostrils, j
went in to win and won won fair
ly, won squarely, won' gloriously.
At' the end of seventy lniuuiv-. ol j
terrific line smashing- ami impi'-,
nable stands by the Carolina eleven
the score, momentous in its meau-i
injr, historic in its importance, jo
inspiringf to the Carolinians by its
very onesidedness, stood North
Carolina 17, Virginia 0.
Never did more inspiring sur
roundings ure contesting teams to
victory. On every side of the
white-ruled gridiron rose tier on
tier of seats packed by a mass of
cheering thousands, while at the
feet of the grand stand and bleach
ers the vast crowd overflowed upon
the grounds and f rom s,(e t0 sle
and end to end elbowed and
struggled for standing room. On
the left, occupied by the. ranks of
the resident "down homers, "
swelled by the influx of the preced
ing days until they even outnum
bered the supporters of the Old
Dominion team, the white and blue
colors waved in riotous confusion,
and the staccato Yackety Yacks
and the far-carrying "Ray Rays"
played havoc with the chill Novem
ber air. On the right, loyal while
confident at first, loyal though
disheartened at the last, sat
A
ABKKNKTHY, FINEST FULLBACK IN THE SOUTH
the Virginia rooters, and no matter
how great their disappointment at
the undoubted outclassing of their
team by that from the rival State,
never did a brilliant Virginia plav
fail to produce its share of appreci
ative Virginia applause.
The first few minutes of the
play sounded the knell of Vir
ginia's hopes. Two facts stood re
vealed: Carolina could hold Vir
ginia; Virginia could not hold Car
olina. Again and again the Vir
ginians charged our line they
found there Parker. Gardner,
Thompson, Seagle and Story.
Thev tried our ends, and found at
one an ex-all-American. Brown; . at
the other an all-Southern, Town
send'. Again and again the Vir
ginians fell back helpless before
: the terrific charges of the Carolina
bit ck s, A be n e t h y , W h i ta k e r, S n i pes .
Roberson and Reynolds. Out
classed both in defense and offense,
defeat for the Virginians was inev
itable. But to the last second ol
the game it was hard and pluckily
fought; fiercely fought but cleanly
fought, and between the teams as
between their supporters while
there was ever the keenest rivalry,
there was ever the most cordial of
hearty good feeling. '
