On t h i s d a t e the f o o t b a ll t e am met t h e s t u r d y sons of North C a r o l i n a A. and M. in one of the most e x c i t i n g g a m e s ever w i t n e s s ed in Richmond. The t d v a n c e i n f o r m a - t i o n and dope all tended t o show t h a t we w e r e to be beaten and the only q u e s t i o n a r g u e d was the size of t h e score they would make. But " t h e best laid plans of mice and men gang a f t a g l a y , " as Colonel Bobby Burns once r e m a r k e d , and so i t was on t h i s occasion, for a f t e r a t e r r i f i c s t r u g g l e t h e speedy r e p r e s e n - t a t i v e s of V.

S u p e r b g r i t and u n p a r a l l e d game-n e s s w e r e t h e deciding f a c t o r s . We w e r e outweighed almost twenty pounds t o t h e man, and i t was f r e e ly p r e d i c t e d that our line would soon c r u m b l e under the connonball as-s a u l t s of the Tar Heels, b u t to t he s u r p r i s e of all t h e i r h e a v y b a c k s were t h r o w n t i m e a f t e r t i m e for l i t t l e or no g a i n and o f t e n f o r losses. Only at one period d u r i r c : t h e game did t h e ir much heralded a t t a c k avail a g a i n st our stubborn defense. During the l a s t p a r t of t h e t h i r d q u a r t e r and the first of the f o u r t h t h e y carried the b a l l for over fifty yards on s t r a i g ht l i n e p l u n g i n g and w e r e not stopped | s t r o n g game u n t i l they had scored. Our light | d e f e n s i v e l y . and Youell got no chance to t r y for goal. The final p o i n t s w e r e made on a n o t h e r bad pass by Plj^er. With Van B r o c k l i n r e a d y to k i c k f r om be-h i n d t h e l i n e , t h e A g g i e s ' c e n t e r once more passed the ball far out of r e a c h . The l i t t l e red h a i r e d q u a r t er t r i e d to redeem the s i t u a t i o n by k i c k i n g a f t e r he recovered t h e b a l l, b u t Lowry, S., blocked the t r y and f e l l on it f o r a touchdown. Strange t o say Youell missed the goal al-t h o u g h the a n g l e was not difficult. As has been said before, t h e Tar H e e l ' s score was the r e s u l t of a s e r i e s of s m a s h i n g p l a y s which brook-ed no r e s i s t a n c e. The e n t i r e t e am played as never b e f o r e . Lowry, S., and R i c h a r d s at ends were on t h e ball like a flash and covered Y o u e l l ' s long p u n t s to p e r f e c t i o n , n a i l i n g t h e r u n n e r almost b e f o r e he c a u g h t the b a l l . Clark-son and Youell at tackles, were al-ways in e v e r y p l a y and stopped many a promising r u n b e f o r e i t was s t a r t - ed. Cammer, M a r s h a ll and B e a s l e y, t h e center t r i o , did yoeman s e r v i ce on every occasion and their fierce c h a r g i n g more t h a n offset t h e super- 1 i o r w e i g h t of t h e i r opponents. Of batiks were not able to do much t h r o u g h the line, but t o r e off many long runs around t h e ends. Hutch-inson and Bain shone b r i l l i a n t l y in t h i s way. In t h e final a n a l y s i s t h e g a m e was won on the phenomenal k i c k i n g of "VoueP and t h e quickness of our men t o t a k e a d v a n t a g e of every opening. Youell outpunted Van Brocklin by n e a r l y three yards to one, and his long s p i r a l s kept A. and M. almost c o n t i n u a l l y on the defensive. He seemed to be able to kick any dis-t a n c e he chose and his p l a c i n g was r e m a r k a b l e . Our first score came a f t e r he had punted nearly sixty y a r d s to t h e A g g i e ' s five yard line. Van Brocklin dropped back to kick t o s a f e t y , but Plyer, who was badly off in his passing, t h r o u g h o u t the game, hurled the ball f a r over his head, and before he could recover t h e e n t i r e V. M. I. t e am was upon h im and he was thrown behiud the line for a s a f e t y . The second score came as a r e s u l t of quick work by H u t c h i n s o n . With t h e ball in A. and M . ' s possession on their own t h i r ty y a r d mark they a t t e m p t e d a plunge t h r o u g h our r i g ht tackle. Osborne f u m b l e d and the ball rolled a i m l e s s ly a l o n g the ground behind V. M. I 's l i n e . Quick ae a flash Hutchinson crossed over f r om l e f t half and se-c u r i n g the ball on a high bounce dashed through a broken field for a touchdown. The kick out was mis.^ed t h e backfield men H u t c h i n s o n show-ed to the OTpatest advantage. His t a c k l i n g was fierce and hard, and his b r i l l i a n t dashes around end and off t a c k l e e l e c t r i f i e d t h e crowd on many occasions. Bain, at t h e o t h e r h a l f, did b e a u t i f u l work and played b o t h offensively and Oakes, at f u l l , shone The e n t i r e f o o t b a l l squad and those who were f o r t u n a t e enough to be a b l e to accompany the team had a v e r y enjoyable stay in Richmond. The alumni of t h a t city w e r e excep-t i o n a l l y h e a r t y in t h e i r s u p p o r t and. l a v i s h in their h o s p i t a l i t y .

Everything possible was done f o r t h e c o m f o r t and p l e a s u r e of t h e men and t h e management of t he c l u b ought t o be h e a r t i l y t h a n k e d f or t h e way t h e y t r e a t e d t h e team. Of course n o t h i n g much could be done by the f o o t b a l l men until a f t e r t he game, but t h e e n t e r t a i n m e n t f u r n i s h - ed S a t u r d a y night more than made up for t h e enforced i d l e n e s s of F r i - day night and S a t u r d a y morning. The dance a t t h e Country Club was a most e n j o y a b l e a f f a i r , and those of t h e Cadets who a t t e n d e d reported a g l o r i o u s t i m e . Those who went to see " H a p p y H o o l i g a n " at t h e Bijou c l a im t h a t t h e y had s o m e t h i n g on all o t h e r s , but are stoutly opposed by t h e dancers. After the dance and t h e a t r e , however, came the crown-i n g e v e n t the b a n q u e t a t the Com-m e r c i a l club. A suberb spread as s e r v e d and t h e e x c e l l e n c e of he meal was surpassed only by the h i l a r i ty of t h e g u e s t s . It was well i n t o Sun-day morning before the meeting broke up.

Much d i s c u s s i o n was at first held, as t o w h e t h e r t h e y were merely the in-v e n t i o n of some t h i r d classman by means of which cowbells m i g h t be r u n g at unseemly hours, or whether t h e y were possibly some device to p r e v e n t t h e Academic b u i l d i n g f r om f a l l i n g backward into the Nile. F i n a l l y some sage, name unknown, came f o r t h w i t h the i n f o r m a t i o n t h at i t was some sort of t e l e g r a p h. Indeed it was no less t h a n a wire-l e s s . the I n s t i t u t e , owing to t h e com-bined e f f o r t s of t h e p r o f e s s o r and as-s i s t a n t of E l e c t r i c a l engineering, at l a s t p o s s e s s i n g one of these modern f o r m s of communication. Just why a w i r e l e s s is r e a l l y needed here is not a t present known. Possibly it will p r o v i d e another extension of the e l e c t r i c a l e n g i n e e r i n g course. As yet no final a d j u s t m e n t s seem t o have been made and seemingly not much has been accomplished, be-s i d e s the actual work of s t r i n g i ng t h e a n t e m a . It is r e p o r t e d , however, t h a t a f t e r a long time of arduous l i s t e n i n g in the receiver, several c l i c k s could be heard. We venture no e x p l a n a t i o n as to t h i s source. The c l a s s s e r i e s opened r a t h e r in-a u s p i c o u s l y l a s t Wednesday when the second and t h i r d cass t e a m s played t o a 6 to 2 score—or was it 6 to 8! Nobody seems to know e x a c t l y at p r e s e n t and there is a p r o b a b i l i ty t h a t t h e game will be p l a y e d over iir consequence. The c h a r g e s and speci-fications are as f o l l o w s: C h a r g e — T h a t the home p l a t e , OB d u t y as a goal line, was t r i u m p h a n t - ly crossed by ' 1 6 in t h e l a s t minute of play, t h e r e b y e a r n i n g a v i c t o r.

T h e i r e n t h u s i a sm r e c e i v e d a set back on being informed t h a t t h e V a r s i ty needed t h e f o o t b a l l field f o r t h e usuai " B l o o d y W e d n e s a y " scrmmage. Af-t e r some d i s c u s s i o n it was decided ta p l a y the game on t h e baseball dia-mond, but by an u n f o r t u n a t e ever s i g h t t h e r e f e r e e and head linesman w e r e not d e f i n i t e l y i n s t r u c t e d as to t h e position of t h e goal lines. But of this more h e r e a f t e r . Gutierez a c t e d in t h e f o r m e r c a p a c i t y f o r the first half of the game, and scored a b r i l l i a n t success—nobody understood h i s v e r d i c t s , and hence nobody could d i s p u t e them.

On t h e first a t t e m p t t h e ball disappear-ed in t h e crowd and was next dis-covered in t h e hands of a t h i r d class-man a m b i t i o u s l y headed for Lexing-ton and glory. Public opinion not f a v o r i n g this play, the kickoff was encored. This t i m e Hagan c a p t u r ed t h e oval and ran it back about ten y a r d s . Then began a f u r i o u s s t r ug g l e , n e i t h e r t e am b e i n g able to g a ia c o n s i s t e n t l y . The t h i r d class depen» ded mainly on line smashes, while t h e second class used end r u n s and f o r w a r d passes. The p u n t i n g of Me- Cormick gave ' 1 6 a decided advan-t a g e in the first quarter, but they were u n a b l e to score, owing to '15' ine s t i f f e n i n g and end runs by Lewis, S , , and Hagan, J. The q u a r t e r end-ed w i t h the ball in 1 6 ' s possession in m i d f i e l d — n e c e s s a r i l y , for the field had no ends. At the beginning of the second q u a r t e r '15 held for do«ns, and Mc- Cormick punted almost to the post a d j u t a n t ' s office. Baughm a t t e m p t - ed to run it back, but was promptly s p i l l e d by ' 1 6 ' s ends, and " G u t" r u l e d a s a f e t y . The q u a r t e r ended w i t h the ball in midfield, as above,, and the n o n c o m b a t a n t s of t h e oppos-. i n g c l a s s e s h u r ' e d defiance and abu-. s i v e e p i t h e t f r om t h e i n t r i c a t e mazes: of the s n a k e dance. Also much pie was r e c k l e s s l y wagered. I n the third quarter ' 1 5 came back with a rush. Massie, N., k i c k e d off to F e l t e r o l f , who r e t u r n ed five yards. Sixteen could not gain on two l i n e smashes and a f o r w a rd p a s s was s m e a r e d by Lewis, S., the Call g o i n g over on downs. Baughm g a i n e d fifteen yards around l e f t end.

The t h i r d class depen» ded mainly on line smashes, while t h e second class used end r u n s and f o r w a r d passes. The p u n t i n g of Me- Cormick gave ' 1 6 a decided advan-t a g e in the first quarter, but they were u n a b l e to score, owing to '15' ine s t i f f e n i n g and end runs by Lewis, S , , and Hagan, J.
