A crowd of 26.150, including about 15,000 Boy Scouts, saw the rather shaky inaugural of Army's 67lh season. After rolling up a 13-0 lead in the first quarter Army saw VMI get two back in the second and then punched out Ihrce more with steady gains through the weakening VMI line. Army's new backfield combination of Boy Kyasky at quarter, Murtland and Mikclonis at the halves and Vincc Barta at fullback, operating behind a big, experienced line, was effective. But there was a big drop in Army power when the reserves came in. And Mikclonis, who showed great speed running through the big holes in the VMI line after laking handoffs from Kyasky, was Ihe victim of two key passes.

One set up the first VMI score and the other produced the second. He retrieved himself later by intercepting a touchdown-labeled Johnston pass on the two-yard line. After Army drives of 63 and 38 yards produced touchdowns by Murtland and Mikclonis in the first quarter, VMI took to the air in the second. Jordan snared a 21-yard Johnston pass, then dashed 19 yards around end for Ihe Keydcts" first score. Six minutes later he grabbed a 19-yard pass from Johnston in the end lone.

Army saved its lead by smearing both conversion attempts by Jordan. From there on the Cadets ground out yards steadily, sending Murtland over late in the second period and early in the third.
