November 14.-University of November 26.- (Thanksgivin FOOTBALL In a game in which Carolina showed much improvement after a week's practice, Charleston Colleg'e was defeated by a score of 17-o. The University squad went in the first half with the full intention of taking the game, and really their best work was done in this half. The ball was kept in the Charleston boy's territory most of the time, and the gains of the University squad were long and fast. After five minutes of play Dargan carried the ball over and Holmes kicked goal. In the next few minutes Charleston tightened up con4 siderably atid the boys found difficulty in working some of their best plays. But the goal line was crossed again by Dargan for Carolina after nine rnin ites' play. This time Holmes failed to kick goal, and the score was eleven to. nothing in Carolina's favor. Farrow had already begun to do some good punting, and in the second half lie was called upon many times to perform the kicking stunt. His punts were long and the University boys failed to handle the majority of them. His kicking materially aided in keeping the locals from scoring more than six points in the second half. Seventeen to nothing was the final score, being in favor of the Uni versity. The Charleston boys played good ball, considering the time they have been practicing and the weight of their men.

Carolina's men showed far better improvement over their work in the Ridgewood game.' The forward pass was worked with better success, but it proved to be a bad policy two or three times. The Garnet and Black eleven are showing up better with. more training, and if they continue to im prove there is no reason why the sea son of 'o8 should not be a success.
