VOL. XII. NO. 2?V7 WASHINGTON & LEE BOYS PLAY CAROLINA TO DRAW No-Score Gerne on Casino Witness, ed by Twenty-five Hundred Shouting and Flay Wav? ing Enlliuslasls. mm\\ WARRIORS MUCH EUTED Result Regarded As Triumph By Navy, Blue and White Contingent?Contest Was Hard Played and Both Goals Frequently Were In Danger?Elev? ens Show Need of Practice and Training. lli-forc a crowd of two thousand live hundred people the sturdy football warriors of Washington ami Leo I'm vcrslty fought the eleven of the I'ni verslty of North Carolina to a no-score draw on the Casino gridiron yestcr-j tiny nflenioon: Although the contest was rather slowly and loosely played, the Intorost ami enthusiasm of the| throng that filled the east ami west stands und overflowed on the side lines never seemed to lag and time and again hearty cheers rolled out over the Held and hundreds of Carolina and Washington and Leo pennants were waved on high. "Rooters" Equally Divided. A remarkable feature of the game' was (he almost equal division of the supporters of the two elevens, about a half of the crowd "rooting" for North Carolina nnd the other half forj Washington and Leo. I)wing to the fact, however, that practically oyory-j one had expected Carolina to bo vlcto-, rlous, the "rooters" of the Virginia team exhibited far more joy and en-j thuslasm at the close of the game than did the wearers of the colors of the Old North State, who seemed to bo' greatly disappointed over the failure1 of their team to score. Another rather peculiar feature of the game was the fact that the play-; ors of both 'varsl lea- wore suits ex? actly alike, making it almost Impos? sible for the spectators to distinguish one team from the other during the1 scriinmages. W. and L. Started With Whirl. Dining the first few mlhutbs of play, there was considerable uneasi? ness among the hundreds of th<r*Caro Una supporters, for Washington and 1. started out with a whirl and rush that almost carried the Carolina play? ers off their feet. Securing the hall on a fatal tumble following the kick off, the Washington and l.ee players swept down the Held lo within eight yards' of the Carolina goal line and It looked as If they would score, but the sons of the Old North State re? pulsed every onslaught against their line and the Virginia hoys were- forced to make an on-side kick, hoping lb thus score a touchdown. The leather, however, lilt the ground behind the goal line and the play counted for a touchback, entitling Carolina to kick' the ball out from its twenty-five yard line. ? "Tarheels" Took a Brace. Having prevented a score, the Caro? lina team took a brace und after tbe first live minutes of play its goal was not again in danger during the first half, the hall being in Washington ami Lee's territory most of the time. On olio or two occasions in Hint linlr, Carolina was within striking distance of Washington and Loo's goal, but on ennh occasion the Virginia hoys show? ed a grim determination to hold Caro? lina safe nnd each time they suc? ceeded in protecting their goal. | Carolina seemed to hive a little tbC 1m)tier of the play in the opening half, but the unexpected strength shown by Washington and Leo came as a great surprise lo bbth the Carolina players and "rooters," and there was consid? erable uncnslhesG in tbo camp of tlio Old North Slate during the Inldrmhj kIoii. Brighter for Carolina. The work of the Carolina team dur? ing Ihn first fow minutes of the sec? ond half caused great joy among its "rooters." Securing the hall on the kick off alter Rhodes ha.-l fumbled on hia twenty yard line, Carolina carried It up ten yards and then Mann and Da? vis essayed a forward pass and the killer carried tin- hill across the "no for what nearly ovdr.vlmdy on Hie Hold supposed was a touchdown, This was occasion for a demonstration bn the pari of the Old North Stair- color bearers, hilt their Joy was short lived, for the officials declared lliat the for waul pass was Illegal. II having cross? ed the line of scrimmage and the touchdown did not count. Carolina bo lug penalized fifteen yards for the il? legal play. Situation Changed. This was the only occasion on which Washington and TjCO's goal was In danger during the second half, the hall being kepi In Carolina's territory through the great ptmlihg (>r Rhodes. Roth teams played faster and better l>:ili In tho closing half ami several good inns wore mado by Mann, Mc? Neil, Crosswoll, Armontrout ami Stroit. in (ho last few minutes <>f play Washington ami I. was dangerously near Carolina's goal ami it was thought that the Virginia boys would1 attempt a drop or place kick at.goal/ hut no such attempt was- made. Both Need Practxc. iinth elevens showed a sad need of, practice, the playing bolng ragged at1 limes. Evory one of the half dozen' or more forward passes attempted by the elevens failed, resulting ill a groat deal of penalizing. There was con? siderable holding in line also, mid sev? eral penalties result,.,! rroin that. On account of these penalties both' teams did :? great deal of punting. I Rhodes, of Washington ami Loo, out? classed McNeil, Suiton arid Crosswoll,| of Carolina, in this department; mull on several occasions he sent the loath-j er out of the danger zone by long punts. I Crowd On Hand Early. Although the play was not sched? uled to begin until 3:30 o'clock, the crowd began assembling on the Held nearly an hour before that time, und shortly after I! o'clock over two thou? sand enthusiasts, nearly nil of them wearing the colors of the rival elev? ens, were gathered in the bast, west and grand stands and around the side lines. The Washington und Loo eleven was the first to reach the Held, passing through the extreme southerly gate of the park at 3:20 o'clock amid a chorus of cheers from its supporters. The team Immediately went through light signal practice, followed wltit punting and passing the ball. North Carolina entered the main gate of t-0 park a few- minutes behind the Wash? ington and Loo player., and it nlso passed and punted the ball for a few minute.-. Carolina Objects to Umpire. Just before the time lor the game to begin. Coach Damson, of North Carolina, raised an objection Id em? pire .1. A. Mnssie, who formerly play? ed with the University of Virginia team. The coach said that BOlilo of his player's objected to .Mr. Massle becnuso he was a Virginia man, but after considerable discussion It was iigrecd that Mr. Massio should offi? ciate, as the manager of the Carolina team hr.d written the athletic com? mittee Of the Merchants' Association accepting hiiu as tho umpire for the game. j Carolina Wins Toss. Carolina won the toss and chose to defend tho north goal. This gave them the advantage of the strong northwestcmly wind which was blow? ing down the Held. At 3:2:. o'clock Rhodes sent the leather whirling across tho Held to Carolina's twenty yard line, where Ruffin caught It and ran up three yards before being down? ed by Streit "and Dow.
