Single Copies. 5 Cents "On to Richmond" had been the cry on the campus for the last ten days. Every student in the university had been thinking of the game at Richmond All the energies of every man had been concentrated on winning that game. The football team had gathered them selves together after winning from Washington and Lee and had taken a long breadth before getting ready for the supreme test on Thanksgiving day. Sunday night a telegram comes from Virginia and all these preparations topple down in crumbling ruins. All the students here become dazed in real ization of the fact that the ambition of three month's longing has been flashed away and they stand staring at an in finite wall of leaden hue. But the thought of our disappontment is only secondary. We don't consider our own misfortune except as only the aftermath of a catastrophe. A young man of Virginia's team is dead. Saturday he went into the game with all the power and promise of an eighteeu year old hero. Up to the last few minutes of the game he shone as never before. Then suddenly his spinal column is bro ken and he is carried off the field to die. That's what holds us all. The ab solute pathos of the situation. It is only when we force ourselves to leave the thought and consider ourselves that we realize that "it means a little personal inconvenience to us. The thought that holds us all appalled comes when we think of young Christ ain going out one day to the music of a band and the cheers of his comrades and then, in a short hour or two, brought back in awful silence to die. To us at Carolina there comes a sorrow we cannot express. To those at Virgi nia who knew young Christian with admiration and love, must come a grief they had not dreamed of. We can only offer them the sympathy of a heart overflowing with silent sorrow. Carolina did herself credit in the game against Washington and Lee Saturday. Only three or four times was the ball in our territory and even then it was in our possession . Taken as a whole we have more reason to feel proud of this game than any game we have played this season. Our men seemed to take advantage of every opportunity they had. As long as the ball was out-side Washington and Lee's ten yard line our back field seemed able to do about what they pleased in the way of a gain but in 1 II 1 1J .4 .1 siue mai last len varas mere was nothing doing. We must give that Lexington bunch credit for being regular cranks when it comes to hold ing inside their ten yard line. All thru the year one of the weaknesses of the Carolina team has been fumble ing the ball. It is most gratifying to notice that not once during this last game did we fumble the ball On the other hand covering the bal has always been pur strong point In this respect we excelled ourselves Saturday. Six times Washington and Lee fumbled and in each instance it was a Carolina man who dived on top of the pigskin. On defense Carolina plays a most remarkably strong game. Washington and Lee made two first downs. One thru the line; another on a forward pass. This means our line was as firm as granite. Only one first thu them and that on a fake play. Also there was not nothing doing around our ends. Another particular which Carolina was an arc light s the handling of the forward pass. This is a play which we have used with little success up to the present we are glad to see such improve ment. Altogether the game was most satisfactory. We should have made one or two more touchdowns but we really blame Washington and Lee for hat holding on the one yard line. in wa: The class tennis series which is soon to besrin is a lare-er factor in university athletics than it is generally given credit for being. Our varsity tennis team has just retured from a trip on which they lost not a set in their doubles. We are prone simply to be glad of the fact and not to inquire into the reason behind it. Both of the men on the tennis team were trained by their work on the class teams t of which they were members. So far as playing doubles was concerned neither got any effective experience except what he got when playing on the class teams. This is what class tennis has done toward developing varsity material. The man who makes his class team and then works hard enough to win the class championship has the best chance to make the varsity. Up to the present year very little interest has been taken in this series. This fall, however, all the class tournaments seem to be full and well contested. We are glad of it. That is the surest possible way to make it possible for Carolina to retain her supremacy in Southern tennis. - the other end of the field Teague, 1 MacRae, and Avery being conductors EuDdtlRS DtUQ CotTlpdnV Unce down in those parts the Juniors likewise took a stand, and the ball 1 !

Patterson blocked, one of Cowper's kicks and fell on it in mid field. A foward pass, Patterson to Kerr, carried the ball to the Juniors 25yd line. Successive line plunges dy Teague and MacRae carried the ball to the 10yd line. Here 1911 took an other stand and the ball went over. Rhodes kicked out of danger, but the; persistent Seniors came back with a vengeance, and an end run by MacRae ! coupled by line plunges by Avery and Teague carried the ball to the 20yd ine where MacRae broke thru the line or a touchdown. It was ruled out however, as the oiriciais aeciareu me ball down before MacKae took it. Soon afterwards Patterson circled left eud for a touchdown, but was called back for the same reason. Dark came on and the teams were still playing. Neither side could score, try as they might. Time was called shortly after dark, with the score still 0 to 0. Though a tie game the result of this contest give 1911 the Championship as they defeated 1912 while 1910 only succeeded in tying them. On account of certain circumstances arising during the play the game is likely to be stongly contested by the ,1910 men. ; .- Fancy Groceries and .

This is not the first good thing the council has done toward bettering conditions of life on the campus. We feel confident that. the thoughtful portion of the student body stands pat for the Coun cil in this matter. The raffles and lotteries had gone quite too far and some stop had to be put to them Seniors Win from Juniors, 00 Immediately after the report pf the N. C. -W. & L. game the crowd in chapel adjourned to. the athletic field to see the two teams of 1910 and 1911 battle for the College Championship. As quickly as they could dress the teams entered the field and the spec tators turned from viewing a game in Newport News to the actual scene of a gridiron struggle close at. hand. Soon after the kick off it was plain that the teams were evenly matched, and that the onlookers were assured of their money's worth. The Juniors started off like a whirl wind, rapidly advancing the ball toward the 1910 goal line. But on the 25yd. line the tide of battle turned and the Seniors made a stand. After holding the charging Juniors for two downs a fumble, gave 1910 the ball. Then on a fast train the ball took a tour toward Virginia Game -ailed Off Dr. Venable announced in chapel Monday morning that the Thanksgiv ing game with Virginia had been call ed off in accordance with the request of the Virginia authorities. The death of Archer Christian in the Georgetown game was the cause of this action.
