UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1 907.
No. 9.
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
WHITE AND BLUE TRIUMPHANT
OUR FAST AND SNAPPY TEAM DEFEATS GEORGETOWN
The Score is Twelve to Five Georgetown's Playing a Sur
prise, but it Was Not Up to That of Carolina
Our Men Show Good Training.
Carolina's fast aggregation of
football players trailed the colors
of Georgetown in the mud on the
Georgetown field, Washington, on
Saturday to the tune of 12 to 5.
Georgetown suprised every one
by the good game it put up, but
even then it was no match for Caro
lina. Only once, outside of the
touchdown made by Georgetown,
' was the Tar Heel goal line in dan
ger, and then the Carolina stone
wall got into working order and the
' supporters of the Blue and Gray
were held for downs on the three
yard line.
In its account of the game The
Washington Star says:
"The playing of the individual
stars Dunlap, Mann, Croswell and
Davis for North Carolina had
much to do with their victory, but
as a whole the visiting aggregation
seemed to be better grounded in the
principles of the game as played
under the new rules, and, if any
thing better able to stand the grue
ling incident to a long contest. The
visitors slightly outweighed the
Georgetown team and bad a consid
erable advantage in the first half.
The home team put up its best
game in the second half. -
"The forward pass was tried six
times by the visitors and it was
pulled off successfully on three oc
casions. , Georgetown tried it three
times and made good gains twice.
Thompson, Who did the punting for
Georgetown, placed his kicks well,
but they were low, and his ends did
not have time to get down the field,
and consequently the opponents ran
the ball back on each kick.
"In the individual work for
Georgetown McNulty, Dutcher,
Simon and Cullen played the best.
In McNulty the Blue and Gray
have a good man in the back field,
as he made several good runs."
Carolina and Georgetown both
scored in the first half. After a
few minutes of play Carolina tried
an onside kick, which went over
the goal line. The ball was
brought to the 25 yard line and
Thompson, for Georgetown, punted
to Croswell, who came back 12
yards. A forward pass was tried,
but Davis fumbled it and Miller fell
on the ball. Simon fumbled the
ball on the next down and the visit
ors regained it, Davis ran around
right end for 25 yards. The for
ward pass netted 10 more, Cros
well went through tackle for 5
yards and Davis got 3 more on an
end run. Dunlap then went over 1
for the first, touchdown. Mann
kicked an easy goal. Score 6 to 0.
A few minutes later, after an at
tempted drop kick for goal by Cros
well and some see-sawing up and
down the field, Georgetown secur
ed the ball and Mulhall made 11
yards on an end run. McNulty
made an onside kick to Simon, who
was tackled and dropped the ball.
Dutcher was right on the job and
picked it up and ran 15 yards for a
touchdown, the ball resting near
the side line. Thompson punted
out, but the ball was low. Score,
6 to 5,
In the second Carolina' kicked off to
McNulty and he ran back 10 yards.
On a forward pass, McNulty to
Dutcher, Georgetown got 6 yards.
Thompson punted after the next
down. Three line-plunges and an
end run added 25 yards for Caro
lina. On next down Croswell put
the ball within one-half a foot of the
goal line. Dunlap then went over
for the second and last touchdown.
Mann kicked goal. Score, 12 to 5.
For the rest of. the game the see
sawing was. kept up, first one and
then the other team having the ad
vantage, and the game ended with
the ball in Carolina's possession.

12 to 4.

ham School Friday to the tune of
6 to 0 and winning from Asheville
School Saturday, to the tune of 11
to 4. : --r.
v THE BINGHAM GAME.
In the Bingham game the teams
were very evenly matched and , the
only thing that saved Bingham was
a beautiful forward pass three min
utes before the end of the second
half, Cooper, Bingham's quarter,
passed the bail to Simmons, right
half, who got. away from the scrubs
and ran twenty yards for a touch
down. ;
The holding power of the scrubs
was shown to good advantage about
the middle of the first half, when
the s Bingham boys got the ball
within three yards of Carolina's
goal, but were unable to advance
it any further. During the first
half, the ball was mostly in Bing
ham's; territory, but changed to
Carolina's fiield during the second.
As a whole the game was clean
and swift, full of spectacular plays,
punts, and forward passes, many
of which failed.
The playing of Blalock, Hanes,
Davenport, Morgan, Lester, and
MacRae was especially good, and
Pinnix proved a good punter.
Cooper, Simmons, Glenn. Aldrich,
J., and McGee did good work for
Bingham.

ASHEVILLE SCHOOL.
Coach Simmons' Hornets stung
the pride of Asheville School's rec
ord of this season of not having had
their goal line crossed when they
swarmed on the field bandaged up
and somewhat worse, for the trip
prospects looked pretty blue but
when they sought the hive after the
game jt looked like 11 to 4 and
Asheville School da not the eleven.
The scrubs played good, hard,
fast and clean football which was
very essential when lined up against
such worthy and tricky opposition
Their defense as is usually the case
with scrub elevens was like a stone
wall. Grier and Johnson were ex-
WINS ONE HUNDRED PER CENT
OF TENNIS MEET
Fountain and Orr Outclass Their
Opponents, but the Latter
Don't Give Up.
Fountain and Orr, Carolina's
crack handlers of the racket, de
feated Dalton and Whitaker of
Guilford College here last Thurs
day, winnning one hundred per
cent of the meet. It was planned
to have the doubles ' played on
Thursday and the singles on Fri
day, but it took only nineteen games
to settle the doubles, and the
singles also were played off on
Thursday.
In the doubles the Guilford men
seemed for some reason not to be
able to get into the game, and our
boys had an easy time, LVove game
after love game they won apparent
ly with Tittle effort, and even while
spectators were still arriving, this
part of the tournament was over.
The scores wero: 6-0, 6-1, 6-0. ? .
In the first of the singles Orr
was pitted against Whitaker, Here
again the agony was short, for Orr
won two love sets in quick succes
sion. Whitaker, just as in the
doubles, seemed not to be at his
best, and in the second set won only
three points. Orr on the other hand
played excellent tennis and made
some beautiful returns of extreme
ly difficult balls.
Fountain by no means had such
an easy time against Dalton. The
Guilford man seemed to be coming
into his own and succeeded, espec
ially in the first set, in arousing
some interest on the part of the
spectators, but he could not win
from Fountain, who, steady as ever,
put up an excellent game. The
scores were 6-4, 6-1, 6-4.
Though the tournament was not
so interesting as it would have
been had the teams been mure even
ly matched, it was nevertheless
interesting just to watch the Caro
lina men play. It would be diffi
cult to find. two men who jplay to
gether in doubles better than do
Orr and Fountain. In singles like
wise they are good. Orr is the
more spectacular of the two and
possibly makes more brilliant plays,
but Fountian is steadier and plays
a more consistent game.
ceptionally strong men, and their
offense was strong enough to make
any varsity eleven look twice. It
was good and their interference on
short end runs was well together.
MacRae was the meteor of the
backfield and Capt. Jim , Hanes
drove his team well and made his
forward passes count for much es
pecially when "Midget" Misen
heimer was called to gather them
in.
,In every way the trip of the
scrubs was pleasant and successful
and they deserve much praise for
thetf excellent showing against
such strong aggregations,
