CAROLINA WINS. GEORGIA GOES DOWN BEFORE THE TAR HEELS BY A SCORE OF 5 TO 0. An immense gathering of football enthusiasts saw North Carolina win one of the best played games of the season at Piedmont Park Last Thursday afternoon. The day was an ideal one for spectators, and Atlanta society was present on masse. The wearers of red and black were largely in the ma jority, with here and there some enthusiastic supporter of the Idue and white. At the end of liftv minutes of play the score stood o to (t in favor of North Carolina, hut no one who saw the gritty work of the Georgia team could feel that it was a defeat. After the lirst three minutes, every man of our team settled down to work and played the game that wins 'ix days in the week. Our de feat was just another exhibition of that ill luck which hits sit - tended our playing this voar. Within three yards of North Carolina's goal, and with no thing to prevent a touchdown, Captain Richie, hv one of thus- inexplicable accidents which happen to itll of us .at times, fumbled the ball. It was not Richie’s fault—it was one of those tilings that cannot lie helped ; still it shows hv what a thread Carolina's victory hung. The only touchdown of the game was made in the first three minutes of play. Carolina won the kiek-otf, and Burke sent the hall whizzing to Kinnegin, who fumbled, and Carolina secured the spheroid. By a few des perate bucks the pig skin was planted behind Georgia's line; and failure to kick goal, made the score N. C. o, Georgia 0. Here however Georgia braced down to hard work and what looked like a walk-over for N. C. became one of the fiercest fights ever waged on a Southern gridiron. Both lines seemed almost impregnable, and the game became a kicking contest. In this feature, McIntosh clear ly excelled Graves. In the second half, Georgia tries a place kick from field. The trial was made from the thirty-five yard line, hut here again fate seemed against us, gin team, every man went into the game to win or die, and it is a ditlieult matter to name these played the best game. I f this honor should go to any, it is deserved by Kinnegin, McIntosh, and Hamilton, Kin negin, in spite of serious inju ries, remained in the game to the very last, displaying most marked grit and endurance. The only feature that marred the occasion was the striking of (|uarter-back McCuteheon full in the face by the big Carolina half-back,Koehler. The net was a cowardly one, and the bleach ers rose to a man, hissing, and railing for the removal of Koeh ler from the game. The um pire, however, did not see the slugging and could not act. North Carolina went into the game with a great deal of over- confidence, and every member of the team expected a score of at least “20 to 0. The Caroliui- nians, however, now admit that ours is the strongest team they have played this year, with the exception of Princeton. The (fame in I)etail. i t its r iiai.f. Till; GEORGIAN. A RAPID REVIEW OF THE NOVEM BF.R NUMBER. We are very glad to extend our greeting, after so long a time, to our sister publication, Tin (irunjiiiii. It reflects great credit on the stall that this mag azine wits able to he published vnder such trying circum stances, and we predict for it a very successful year under its present management. The num ber that is before us is neatly hound, contains much readable matter, and is in every wav worthy of its editors. The opening piece is “The Old Politician’s Storv," which contains good material and is well treated. There are manv defects, especially in the begin ning, but the author becomes more forcible as be proceeds, and we are led by the excellence of certain parts to believe that the mistakes are caused by carelessness. “The Secondary Heroes of R. L. Stevenson,” is very cred itable to its author. It lacks depth, but its style is dear and Richie won toss-up and chase smooth, and it is Rv fur the best west goal. Graves kicked oil' for North Carolina, the ball sailing to the forty-livo-yard line, where it is mulled by Kinnegin. McIntosh returns the kick, the hall going high and only twanty yards Bennett is given the ball but makes no gain. Koehler hurdles the left tackle for four yards, again lie does the same tiling for six yards. Bellamy tries left end, and secures four yards. Graves gets five, Koehler seven, Kodiler ten, Bellamy one and written piece in this issue. “Wonders from the Biologi cal Laboratory” i-an extremely poor article, much below the average. In this, the writer tells more of bis own opinions than ho does of wonders of the laboratory. The parts are dis connected, and it contains little information. In the “Influence of Journal ism,” there is shown a decided liking for high-sounding sen tence*. The essay is good, hut not as good as one would expect Koehler three yards for a touch-! on this subject. The author has down. Graves misses the goal, {shown great ability, however, McIntosh kicks th into the territory of the Caroli nians, and Osborne brings it back for ten yards. Bellamy gains two yards, and Koehler secures an equal number. Ca.olina signals for a kick, but Hamilton and Kinnegin block it beautifully. Simcox is sent tit the line for one yard. Young tries the same thing for another yard and Mc Intosh is stopped by Phifer with out gain as li<- tries center. The ball goes over on downs. far and if lie will remember that lie is writing an essay and not an oration, and will cultivate norc substance and a less flowery style, we see no reason why such talent should not develop into something much beyond the ordinary. The two poems of this issue, “The Heath of the Lily” and “To the Toombs’ Oak,” have excellent peotica! thought and I are expressed in good rhyme. As poetry, however, both show 1 either great carelessness ar a CHANCELLOR HILL ASKS FOR $14.500 FOR UNIVERSITY FROM THE LEGISLATURE. On November 23 rd, Chan cellor Ilill addressed the Legis- ture in the interests of the Uni- versity. His speech was a forceful presentation of our claim on the state, lie asked for an appropriation of .Jt I 1 ,.~>oo— *10,000 for the ('Diversity farm, and *4,500 for the University Summer School. Mr. Hill show ed how little Georgia had done for her University in compari son with other States, and used the names of many of our dis tinguished alumni to prove what immense returns Georgia bad secured on the amount in vested. In regard to the appro priation for the Summer school, Mr. Ilill called attention to the fact tli,it hundreds of Georgia teachers now go out of the State during the summer to equip themselves better for their work, and that the University Sum mer School proposes to oiler til cm the same advantages at home. The amount needed is very small in comparison with the good that would be accom- plislicil. As it is now, the State loses interest, during the sum- mer, on the whole amount in vented in campus and buildings. The Chancellor's speech made a visible impression on the House and it ts earnestly hoped that the appropriations asked for will be granted. Thanksgiving (James. North Carolina 5, Georgia 0.

But the most sttiking feature of this number is the Exchange De partment, which is extremely creditable to its editor, and hows careful work and much ability.
