(
With "Bill' Folger

wound the ends at regular inter
nals and "Raby" Tcmiont plung
ing the' line at will, the greatest
team which ever wore the white
ind blue of Carolina out-fought
the time-honored team from Vir
ginia and won the annual Thanks
giving classic 7 to 0, Thursday
ifternoon at Broad Street Park
in Richmond.
It was in- the third quarter,

lounds on a warm trail, took up
ho pursuit. lint Folger broaden
;il his smile, thinking of the folks
it home, and increased the speed
is victory drew nearer his vision,
ile crossed, and a breathless, foot
worn Virginian., dropped at the
miner's ankles, and halted him
00 late;
Then it was that the stands be
girt with the Blue and White
;rembled and shook under the
stamping of thousands of feet, and
ltousands of voices, led by Father
Tandy, rose in a mighty chorus
)f applause. It was the first time
hat Carolina liad won ,a game
;ince J 905, when she carried home
1 score of 17 to 0 ; the second time
she had scored a touchdown and
ho fourth time sho: had scored at
ill during eight years of play. In
I 'JOG and in 000 the,re were no
James between tho.two. But it
vas characteristic of Carolina that
she went from defeat to defeat',
attered and worn,' with never
aint heart and never-waning hope.
Prom one battle lost sho always
ooked forward, to another to win.
t' has taken nine years, but the
'ictory was al 1 the sweeter, . ' - .
At no time during the game did
he back field find .Virgin's no
mpregnable, while Carolines line
'eld like an adamantine w'ftH
gainst the vain onslaughts of the'
ange and blue. -
But for the wet field it was an
"leal day for football. A blue sky.
nth heavy clouds drifting across,
nd brave north-west winds added
st to the .'well deserved consum
mation of one of "the best seasons
a the history of the University,
he crowd, estimated at 15,000,
as one of the largest ever -to I
'""olina bleachers were S
1 packed with Btmlr &
patriotic alumni who yelled their
throats to a frazzle in a continu
ous blast of applause lasting
through the game. .
When the game ended, with the
leather un Virginia territory and
in Virginia hands, babel broke
loose in every, stand and bleach
er, and the wearers of the
Blue and White, scattering re
straint'' to the winds (fell upon
the field, like a .Roman mob. Fol
ger was rushed and shouldered.
Then came Tandy, Tennent, Bel
lamy, Williams and the rest. There
were more than enough shoulders
for the triumphal march around
the field, and the others of the
gesticulating, shrieking, wildly
happy mob fell in behind.
Carolinians have never failed
to cheer their teams, even in the
moment of defeat. When, after so
many years, they again held vic
tory within their grasp, they did
not forget the courtesy due those
who, striving against great odds,
so gamely lost. The Carolinians
have preserved their ancient spirit,
and to lose to such an opponent is
well ' worth the struggle.
A banquet was given the team
and coaches after the game at
Murphy's Hotel. The hall was
attractively decorated with pen
nants and. blue and white chry
santhemums. Captain Tandy was
called on for a speech. He con
gratulated the team on their won
derful perseverance of fighting
spirit all through the season and
thanked the coaches for the in
valuable training which was after
all the key to the season's success.
Mr. Tandy, Yank's- Father, also
praised "the boys." "I know you
could do it," he said, "if you
would fight." The captain of the
1917 team will be chosen later.
THE FIRST QUARTER
Captain Tandy won the toss,
and elected to receive at the west
goal, forcing Ward to. kick-off' in
the face of a driving northeast
wind. Ward booted the ball high,
but it. was caught in an air cur
tent and swept over the south, side
line. The leather was brought back
and, while the 14,000 spectators
edged nervously about in their
seats, Ward again placed the ball.
Once more he kicked it, and this
time it carried straight to Ten
aient. The half back displayed
(nervousness, and juggled the ball,
but recovered, in time to run it
back eight yards before Calvert
downed him, with a plunging tack

the Orange and Blue, and essayed
a gain through right tackle, mak

striking a few yards in front of
the goal line, was allowed to cross
it, Carolina bringing it out twenty
yards and beginning play with a
scrimmage.
Williams carried the ball on the
first play, and made eight yards
before being downed by Kinsolv
ing. Virginia again displayed
nervousness, and suffered another
five-yard penalty for offside play,
allowing Carolina to register its
initial first down. Folger ma'de
two yards through left tackle be

Tennent added anothei, being
dowmed by Thurman anu Coleman
before Folger dropped back to

and Bellamy recovered the leather
on Virginia's twenty-six-yard line ;
but no Orange and Blue player
had touched it, and they were
awarded possession, of the leather.
Thurman made a yard around
right's end. He dropped back as

dived into the line, being downed
without gain. TTp to this time the
