atery of how Carolina after eight year of groveling in the bitter duat of defeat came back and forced har ancient rival Virginia to bend her knees In -tha earn agony It ehould also be tho story of Folger full back for Carolina who making a wide sweep hrok through Virginia's left tackle and aped flfty-two yards for a touchdown Tandy kicked goal fulfilling hts father's prophecy that Carolina would win So the score stood 7 to 0 for thereafter Virginia was kept on tho defensive in spite of her gain by the forward pass The narrative might end here eo fit as the game alone Is concerned Virginia was outclassed in every department of the gridiron sport Many times her flret line of defense wavered and broke under the assault of the North On more than on occasion ther home Institution was brought to fight between her owiv goal posts But of that more will bo seen on another page where the reader may learn In detail Jiow the battle was won and loaL GREAT Rl'X RINGS ONLY SCORH It waa In tho third quarter when tho ball was near the middle of the field that Quarter-Back Williams gave tho signal for Folger to take the leather He caught the IHng equarely and true' running aa the oval

saw a clear field ahead Eleven men like hounds on a warm trail took up tha pureult But Folger broadened hie smile thinking of tho folks at home and Increased the speed ae victory drew nearer hla vision He crossed and a breathless foot-worn Virginian dropped at tha runner's ankles and halted him too lato Then It was that tha atafads begirt with the Blue and White treihbled and shook under tho stamping of thousands of feet and thouaanda of voices led by Father Tandy roaa In a mighty chorus of applause It waa the flret time that Carolina had won a gams alnca 1905 when eha carried home a core of 17 to 0 the second time- eha had scored a touchdown and tho fourth time eha had scored at all during eight years of play In 1900 and In 190 there were no games between the two But It waa characteristic of Carolina that aha went from defeat to defeat battered and worn with nover-falnt heart and never-waning hope From one battle lost she always looked forward to another to win It hae taken nine yeare but the victory was all tha sweeter CARRY VICTORIOUS TE4H AHOCXD THE FIELD When the game ended with tho leather In Virginia territory and In Virginia hands babel broke loose In every
