on i 20 yard strip Hendricks attempted a foreward pass and Moss leaping high into the air snagged the oval running eighty yards for a touch down Moss again came within a hair of glory when he almost got another pass but the ball slipped from his grasp Tha greatest feature of the David son's play was a superb defense and smooth working pair of ends The Tech's used their whole stock of tricks but

accomplish trick but the old backfield punch not there and Davidson tenaciously held on like grim death During the closing minutes of play the Gobblers and the Wildcats opened up on a strong aerial attack but when once within the scoring sone each team held and punted The Tech'a played erratic ball today At times there flashes of form but this was of short duration The North Carolina crew outplayed Tech today both on the offense and defense TJieir ends worked with clock like precision end their tackles mowed down the Gobblers repeatedly The' stars for Tech were Captain Sut ton Jack
