(P) The bone-crushing William and Mary Indians, who haven't lost to a Virginia team since Coach Rube Mc-Cray took over in 1944 (and obviously don't intend to do it any time soon) rolled up and down Cary field this afternoon to wallop the fighting Military Institute Keydets, QJ-0, before a homecoming crowd of 0,000.

Stan Magdziak pitched three touchdown passes for the Tribe, one to Captain Denver Mills, one to Lou Hoitsma and the third to Henry Blanc, a substitute back. Buddy Lex flipped the fourth payoff aerial to Dick Walker. The other two Indian tallies came on line plunges by Blanc and Jack Cloud. Magdziak made four of five tries for extra point good, while Lex added another. The Keydets started off like a house afire.

Four plays after the kickoff, the Tribe's Jackie Freeman fumbled when attempting to pass from his own 38, and Paul Louis pounced on the ball on the Indian 16. Tony Ragunas carried it down to the five but at this point the Tribe put an end to matters by taking the ball on downs. OFF TO THE RACES A moment later, Jack Cloud whipped through a gaping hole in center and ran to the Keydet 11 before he stumbled and fell. The Tribe fumbled VMI's Jack Hutchinson covered the ball on his own two. But the respite was only temporary, for after Hutchinson booted to the Indian 40, the Tribe was off to the races.

With Freeman tossing and Cloud running, it was matter of two minutes before the latter bulled over from the one for the initial tally. Magdziak missed the placement, the only one for the day. Tucker Fires 3 Touchdown Passes To Give Army 19-0 Win By JOHN T. COX Displaying more punch and drive than they have managed to sport at any time during the present foot ball campaign, a rejuvenated New port News high school grid machine whipped together a clicking offensive style of play to clinch its initial State Class conference victory by a 22-7 tally over Fairfax last night at Apprentice stadium. The Typhoon gridmen shattered the stubborn Fairfax line, rolling up 271 yards on the ground while adding 56 more through the air route to score in every period except the second.

The visitors were a threat throughout the contest however, as they completed 10 out of 19 passes which took them for 135 yards. They gained 80 yards by rushing. Shortly after the game got under way, Lou Taylor, Typhoon fullback, reached out to intercept a Fairfax aerial, returning to the visitors' 35. Seven plays later, Bernie Shields went over from the five-yard line for the touchdown after he and Boy Panayotis had carried the ball deep into Fairfax territory. Chields converted and Coach Harry Harmon's lads led, 7-0.

FAIRFAX STARTS DRIVE With Swift's passes loading the way, Fairfax started a drive early in the second period which ended on the Newport News eight, their offensive thrust stalling at that point. After the locals had punted out to the 35, Swift shot, a pass to Parnell who pulled it in on the 18 yard line and raced the remaining distance to the goal. Swift split the uprights and the half ended, 7-all. A punting duel occupied most of the third quarter with Loomis' booming punts setting men back on their heels a number of times. On the last play of the stanza, Taylor whipped a pass to Elmo Stephenson for a tally, the play carrying 24 yards.

The extra- point try failed and left Newport News In the lead, 13 to 7. A Typhoon drive toward touch down land about mid-way the final period was halted when Shields fumbled. Fairfax recovering on its There was no more scoring in the first period, but in the second, the Indians got back into the stride and culminated a drive with Henry Blanc, in for Longacre, plunging over from the five. Magdziak put the ball between the uprights and the score was 13-0. Later in the period, Magdziak went to work in earnest.

Hutchinson kicked and the Tribe took over on the Keydet 21. Four plays later, Magdziak flipped a pass to Mills in the end zone, and then booted the extra point to make it 19-0 at the half. It was the same story in the sec ond half. The Indians again were slow getting warmed up, and the ItOSS TO TEACH BOXING CLASS A class in boxing will be started Monday night at the city recreation building with Herbert G. Ross as instructor.

baby Stymie skyrocketed into the fabulous half-million dollar set in money earnings at Jamaica today. The greatest bargain in turf historyclaimed for $1,500 by Hirsch Jacobs Just four years ago came from next to last to win by three lengths, and in track record time at that, in the Gallant Fox handi cap, the east's richest handicap race. With the $59,050 he picked up, he not only became the second horse ever to go over the half-million dollar mark as he boosted his earnings to $516,285, but was within 876 of Whlrlaway's $561,161 bank roll at the head of the parade. All of the year's big leaguers all but one of the top candidates for horse-of-the-year honors were on hand today. The only one missing, the mighty Armed, is retired from the year anyway.

There was Lucky Draw, the record-wrecker, odds on in the bet ting today off his seven wins in eight starts, the last five in a row. There was the clubfoot comet from Texas, Assault, triple-crown champ of the three year olds, and Pavot, high geared but inconsistent winner of nearly $400,000. And, if it was going to be a case of "South America, take it away," there was the Argentine rhumba-runner, Rico Monte. And Stymie was just about the biggest big leaguer of them all as he came home swinging on the bit, with Rico i Monte charging up to take second place from Assault by two lengths. Pavot dropped to sixth, and Lucky Draw, leading contender, up to now for the horse-of-the-year bauble, faded badly to eighth in the field of 11 in this mlle-and-flve- eighth grind after taking a brief lead at the end of a mile.

Eustis Easily Turns Back Navy Team, 43 to 10 Playing the brand of football that knows only one pay off, the Fort Eustis Helldvers thoroughly trounced an undefeated, unscored on, and once tied Patuxent, Md naval sta tion eleven, scoring 43 points to the Navy's 10 on the Eustis gridiron Saturday afternoon before a record crowd of 6,500. Piling up 17 first downs while the visitors were accounting for 2 it was Fort Eustis all the way with the Helldivers displaying a ground and atrial attack that left the Naval team game but Patuxent tallied first late In the first quarter on a field goal booted by Harrison, right half, from the Helldivers' 25-yard line that gave the seamen a 3 to 0 lead going into the second period. A touchdown in the fourth quarter ended the sea men's scoring. Holy Cross Loses Cambridge, Oct. 26 (AV-A hard-playing Harvard football team kept its undefeated record intact by coming from behind against strong Holy Cross for a 13-6 victory today before a 40,000 crowd at the stadium.

Fullback Vine Moravec's eight yard off-tackle scoring slam clinched the game for the Crimson in the third period. It's Oklahoma! Ames, Iowa, Oct. 26. fP) Okla homa's fast, heavy football team outclassed Iowa State, 63 to 0, today In the Cyclones' homecoming game. The Sooners scored in every quarter, racking up three touchdowns In the third and four in the fourth.

A crowd of 16,000 saw the big six conference game. Over Duke the end zone barely was knocked down by Blanchard. Again minutes later, Tucker fumb led and Duke recovered on the Cadets' 25. From there, Duke again reached the 20 before yielding the ball. Early in the final quarter, with long and Howard Hartley piercing Army's line, Duke put on another 23-yard surge to Army's 32, and again they reached the 37 before Tucker broke it up with a pass inter ception.

The Cadets began their final scor- mg oriving irom meir own za, actually from their 18 as they were set back to that point by a penalty Davis faded back and hurled a long pass to substitute end Jim Rawners for 36 yards, and then Tucker hit Rawers with another good for 28 yards, taking the ball down to Duke 18. Blanchard in two tries bulled first down on the seven, but then Davis was tossed back to the 13 on an attempted pass. On the next play Davis gathered in a Tucker toss on about the five-yard line and sprint ed across. Ray made good on his third try at the point. Only then did Coach Earl Blalk let Davis and Blanchard leave the field, two tired young future officers.

Blanchard In 21 cracks at the Duke line, both from halfback and fullback, netted 122 yards; Davis in 16 runs netted only 70. WALKER HIGH TIES VIKINGS; HALTS STREAK Maggie Walker high of Richmond halted the 22-game winning streak of Huntington high yesterday after. noon, holding the favored Vikings to a 7 to 7 tie, in, a game played on the local school's home field. The Vikings had to come from behind in the second half to avert defeat. The scoring was begun when Potts of Walker Intercepted a pass and ran 65 yards to a touchdown, with Potts adding the extra point on a drive through right tack le.

Taylor started the Vikings on the road to their score with a 25-yard runback of a punt, to his own 45. From that point, Huntington drove down to the five yard marker, interspersing two completed passes with well executed ground plays. Taylor went through left tackle to score from the five. King drove through center for the vital extra point to tie the score.

FOOTBALL SCORES The fighting demon Deacons from Wake Forest lived up to their nam today by completely outclassing Ten nessee and rudely dumping the Yola from the nation's ranks of unbeaten and untied football teams, 19 to 6. A partisan crowd of 25,000 saw the spirited Deacons register one of the season's major upsets and administer the worst licking Coach Bob Neyland has ever suffered before the home folk in 15 years of tutoring at Tennessee. It was also the fifth time a team had ever scored as many as three touchdowns on Neyland in regular midseason play. It was obvious from the opening kickoff that Coach D. C.

(Peahead) Walker's big eleven was "up" for this game. The Deacons were superior in every department of play. Tennessee made one quick stab for its score early in the second period to tie the score at 6-all. Thereafter it was virtually all Wake Forest. SCORES IN FIRST Wake Forest scored once in.

th first quarter and twice in the third. The first Deacon score climaxed a 66-yard drive with Fullback Clay Croom plunging over from the ona for the touchdown. Bo Sacrinty' kick for the extra point was blocked. Nick Sacrinty engineered the Dea cons on the long drive, completing successive passes to Bernie Capps and John O'Quinn which netted 47 yards. Charley Mitchell snagged O'Quinn from behind on the Vol four after he had speared Sacrlnty's pass on the Tennessee 20 and raced 16 yards.

Tennessee's lone score came with stunning suddenness in the early part of the second stanza. George Kelly, substitute center, Intercepted Nick Sacrlnty's pass on the Deacon 34 and returned it eight yards to the 26. Bob Lund flicked' a quick pass to Jim Powell, who grabbed the ball on the 15 and raced over untouched for the score. Mitchell's placement was wide. With fourth-string tailback J.

B. Proctor, a freshman, in the driver'! seat, Tennessee mustered its lone sustained drive late in the second stanza to march 70 yards, but the half-time gun sounded with the ball on Wake Forest's 10. RENEWED FURY Wake Forest came back after the intermission with renewed fury, taking the ball on Tennessee's 34 when Walter Slater, usually reliable Ten-, nessee punter, got off a weak four-yard kick out of bounds. Harry Dowda and Dick Brinkley. star fullback who did not accompany the Deacons due to a "mis understanding" with an assistant coach but arrived by air in time for the game, drove 21 yards to tha Vol 13 on six line plays.

Nick Scar-lnty then fired a beautiful pass to O'Quinn in the end zone for the touchdown. Bo Sacrinty converted. The Deacons' third and final tally came barely two minutes later when Edward Bradley recovered George Balitsarls' fumble on the Vol 34. Bo Sacrinty broke off left tackle and raced 30 yards to the four. Brinkley smashed -over in two plunges.

Bo Sacrlnty's kick was blocked. The Deacons picked up 11 first downs to the Vols' 10 and rushed the ball 153 yards to the Vols' 86. LSU DEFEATS VANDY, 14-0 Nashville, Oct. 26. (PP) Louisiana State university, generating the first payoff punches of the season through Vanderbilt's rugged line, scored two land-borne touchdowns today to defeat the Commodores, 14-0.

A crowd of 20,000, mostly Vanderbllt partisans, saw the game go according to pre-game predictions. Vanderbilt's forward wall had not been scored upon through ground play until today. Kentucky put the bite on the Commodores in another Southeastern game last Saturday but it was through the air. LSU shaded Vanderbilt in all departments except kicking. Back-fielder J.

P. Moore a regular army captain enrolled at Vanderbilt, put on a spectacular display of booting which averaged around 50 yards. Two and a half minutes after the starting whistle. Tiger fullback Red Knight, all-conference fullback last season, sprinted 36 yards across the Commodore goal. Holley Heard added the point from placement.

Rip Collins loped around left end 31 yards midway of the third quarter to set up LSU's second touchdown. Collins was hauled down on Vanderbilt's 11 and Y. A. Tittle crashed through the middle the rest of the way. shortly on two plays which covered 63 yards.

Tew broke through left tackle and raced all the way on the first one, but he had stepped out of bounds on the Kentucky 37. Gilmer threw a short pass to Morrow, and the little quarterback scored on a fine run of about 32 yards. The final Alabama score followed Chambers' sprint for the Wildcat touchdown. Morrow Intercepted a pass on the Kentucky 33. Gilmer I passed to Corky Corbitt for 15 and a penalty took it To the Wildcat eight.

Gilmer hit Ted Cook with a touchdown pass. The Alabama line, with big Charley Compton standing out, held Kentucky's running to a net of 13 yards, against 109 for the victors. K-rvitucky picked up 140 yards, mostly in the final period. center of the local line broke through to knock the flying pigskin back into the end zones for an automatic safety and The Gold and Blue youngsters led, 15-7. In the waning minutes Billy Gayle and James Hahn spear headed a Newport News drive which started at midfield and ended with Hahn crashing through center from the four yard marker for the score Shields kicked the extra point and the final score read, Newport News 22; Fairfax 7.

Gwynn Fletcher, Wolfpack back, fumbled on the Tech 47 and the Gobblers immediately drove to the State 19 only to lose the ball themselves on fullback Bobby Smith's fumble. State tried the air In the closing minutes of the game in a desperate effort to pull the game out of the fire but could get no farther than Tech's 16. N. C.

Then, as the quarter drew to a close, the Tribe put on a drive, tarting from their own eight, which resulted in a touchdown.

The Indians tallied twice more in the last period, with Magdziak get' ting away his third touchdown pass to Blanc, in for Longacre.

26 (P) Arnold Tucker, Army's rifle-armed quarterback from Miami, Fla spared the Cadets some serious embarrassment today by firing three touchdown passes to beat an aggressive, hard-tackling Duke university eleven that refused to yield on the ground. For the first time since they began their record of 24 straight victories, the West Pointers had to take to the air to score all the points of their 19-0 triumph over the Blue Devils. Two of Tucker's scoring pitches were to All-America Glenn Davis, the third to big Barney Poole, the Both Davis and his brilliant running mate, Felix (Doc) Blanchard, played almost all of the bruising contest, coming out only after Army had scored its third touchdown three minutes and 15 seconds be fore the game ended. Both con tributed some dazzling runs to the Cadets' long touchdown jaunts, but neither, lor the first time in three seasons, could fight his way across the enemy's goal line. ALWAYS DANGEROUS The Blue Devils, 20-polnt under dogs, made the black knights fight for every inch of ground they gain ed.

Illinois, fighting from behind after Michigan had scored on Fullback Bob Wiese's two-yard plunge early in the second period, tied the count on Halfback Paul Patterson's twisting 16-yard run 3'i minutes later and went ahead to stay when Left End Sammy Zatkoff of Hamtramick, intercepted a Michigan pass in the third period and raced 52 yards for a touchdown. Michigan, battling to keep alive its hope of sweeping to its first undisputed western conference championship since 1933, had the ball in Illinois territory for the entire last period but the Illini line was super, throwing back the Wolverines three times straight to take the ball on downs and halt drives that carried to the Illinois 17, then to the five, and finally to the eight-yard line in the final eight minutes. After being stopped for downs on the Illinois five with Just five minutes playing time remaining, Michigan got a safety when Tackle Bruce Htfkene broke through to block Dwight Eddelman's punt in the end zone.

But Illinois held tight from there on to score its first triumph over a Michigan eleven since 1939.

As Jack Ray missed his try for extra point after Davis touchdown, Army left the field at halftime leading only 6-0, and there was much milling around and viewing with alarm among those who had expected the Cadets to approximate last year's 48-13 humbling of the Devils. The Cadets looked more like their championship selves when, the first time they got the ball in the third quarter, they slammed 48 yards for a second score. Blanchard and Davis virtually alternated in banging it down to the 13-yard line, whence, on first down, Tucker shot ona, into Poole's arms on the goal line.

This time Ray's kick was blocked by the charging Duke line, making it 12-0. Up to this time the Blue Devils had not made a single first down with their single-wing attack, but they suddenly came to life and, through the remainder of the third period and until midway of the fourth, roundly outplayed the champs.

26. (iFt Tony Minisi, a halfback of varying allegiance, showed he likewise was quite impartial today as he led the undefeated Penn football team to a 32 to 19 victory over Navy, the team for which he caught a touchdown pass in the last 25 seconds to defeat the Quakers a year ago. The elusive wingback from Newark, N. ran to three touchdowns and passed to another as Penn rolled up its scoring total in the first two periods and then coasted along In a comparatively listless second half which lulled the throng of 78,000 Jamming Franklin field into casual interest. The Quakers Just had too much of everything for the Middies, who scored two of their three touchdowns in the final period against a Penn lineup dotted with third, and fourth stringers.

Minisi, running his consecutive pass completions to 13 before missing and tossing his fourth touch down pass of the year, retired to a well-earned rest after the first half, and never reappeared. His most notable feat of the day was scoring two touchdowns in 53 sec onds late in the second quarter, the second coming on a spectacular 49-yard gallop after Intercepting a Navy pass. Hapless 'Gators Overwhelmed By Tar Heel Power Chapel Hill, N. C. Oct.

26 OP)-The undefeated University of North Carolina football team rolled to its fourth straight victory, trouncing Florida, 40-19, here today. The scrappy visitors surprised 18,000 home-coming day fans by holding the favored Tar Heels score' less in the first perjod, but were unable to cope with the power of the Carolina attack thereafter, yielding two touchdowns in each of the last three periods. Carolina, held to a tie in its open' er with VPI, opened the scoring in the second period following pass interception by Hosea Rogers who grabbed a toss by Doug Belden and ran 36 yards to the Gator 19. Seven plays later Billy Myers scampered around end for the score. Bob Cox converted.

Two minutes later Charlie Justice, North Carolina's frosh sensation, ran back a Gil Martin punt 70 yards for a touchdown. Cox again converted.

cMC State Applecart Upsel Gilmer Accounts For Bama Surprise Win 14-6 21-7 Win Over Kentucky By VPI Blacksburg, Oct. 26 UP) Virginia Tech's played the old familiar role of giant killers in soggy Mills Stadium today to celebrate their homecoming by kicking North Carolina State from the shrinking list of unbeaten football teams, 14 to 6. The largest crowd ever to see a grid battle in Blacksburg, 14,000 watched the Gobblers shove over a touchdown in second quarter when Ralph Beard tossed a 35-yard pass Into the end zone to substitute end Jim Ransone of Richmond. The rejuvenated Gobblers, who rolled up 400 yards through the Wolfpack's line and around its nds, took advantage of opportunity knocking in the fourth period to clinch the battle with Beard's four-yard drive around left end for another score. Beard got his opportunity to score this one when tackle Jack Ittner jumped out of the Tech line to block Ogden Smith's punt and sprawled over the ball on State's four.

Ross Orr, the Tech tackle with the dependable toe, kicked both extra points, his sixth and seventh without a miss. North Carolina State sandwiched its touchdown between the two Tech scores in the third quarter when George Blonquist intercepted one of Bobby Smith's passes on the Gobbler 45 and raced unmolested over the goal. Jim Byler's kick was wide and the Gobblers clung to their lead by a single point at the end of the period. Overnight rains which left the final period when Tide substitutes were pushed around in two Wildcat marches deep into Alabama territory. Gilmer set up the first Tide touchdown with a 69 yard quick kick which rolled dead on the Kentucky 6.

Harry took the ensuing Wildcat punt back to the invaders' 39, and reeled off 12 yards on his first try. A pass to Hugh Morrow took it to the 15 as the first period ended. Line bucks by Red Nooman ana Lowell Tew netted six, and Gilmer went eight to the Kentucky one. Gilmer whirled through a big hole at right tackle for the score. Morrow made good the first of his three successful placements.

Another Tide marker followed Montgomery, Oct. 26. Ph-Little Harry Gilmer passed for two touchdowns and scored the other himself today as Alabama continued its long gridiron mastery over the Kentucky Wildcats with a 21-7 victory. A capacity throng of 22,500 saw the passing wizard complete 14 of of 30 tosses for 177 yards. Gilmer also kept Kentucky backed up with long and accurate quick kicks, and intercepted one Wildcat pass himself.

However, Bill Chambers caught one of Gilmer's throws and ran 65 yards behind some great blocking for the lone Wildcat score. Alabama asserted lta superiority early, smothering the Kentucky running and passing attack until the.
