3. Blowing with a force which swept away everything in its path the Golden Tornado of Georgia. Tech today defeated the Cadets of the Virginia Military Institute S3 to 0. Douglas Wyckoff, captain of Tech, played with a greater brilliancy than that which marked his showing last year when be was mentioned for the all-American. He led his team to an overwhelming victory by smashing through the Tine and tearing around ends almost at will.

The day brought forth another star in the person of Carter Barron, little brother of the famous "Red" P.ar-ron. "Little Red" as he is known, followed closely in Wyckoff's footsteps and figured in all the until he left the game late in the last period. V. M. I.

displayed the strength for which it is noted in the first period and held" the Georgians scoreless. This despite the fact that "Little Red" made several beautiful dashes and shot a pass to Wyckoft to play the ball on the Virginians 11-yard line. Williams then attemned a placement' kick from the 35-yard line but failed. In the next nerod Wyckoft and Barron, with the Tech line tearing through V. M.

defense marched the ball down the field. A pass, Murray to Wyckoff, added 23 yards and when the one-yard line had been reached "Little Red" shot through center for the touchdown. Williams kicked goal from placement, i A thlrty-four-yard run by Wyckoft and a pass Barron to Wyckoff, figured in the next touchdown, wheh the Tech captain put across early In the third Wiliams kicked a placement goal and the score was: Tech 14; V. M. I.

0. The. Cadets battled gamely but a triple pass, Barron to Wyckoff to Irwin, Wyckoff's line smashes and a final smash through center by Murray gave Tech another touchdown to which Williams toe added point from a placement kick. Marshall then caught a pass which was good for 25 yards and Barron and Wyckoff carried the ball to within six Inches of the Cadets' goal line as the quarter ended. Williams took the ball across, through center on the first play of the final quarter but failed to kick goal.

McHae, Brewer and Wright tre-plsrced Williams, Barron and Wyckoff respocitvely, and with Irwin's assistance 'soured another touchdown, the result of a triple pass from the six-yard line. Brewer failed to kick goal and the score was i3 to 0. The game ended with Tech in possession of the ball on V. M. 26-yard line.

(By The Associated Press) SALEM, Oct 3. Confining- Its offense largely to direct thrusts at the i. opposing line, Roanoke College sauntered through the light Randolph-Macon eleven on College Feld at Salem this afternoon to the tune of a 30 to 0 victory 1n the first home appearance of the- Maroons. It was one-sided exhibition In which the visitors were helpless to gain against the powerful Roanoke line and In which the Maroons played a listless game devoid of thrills or spectacular plays. "Hunk" Hurt, star fullback of the Maroons and Bissinger, half back bore the brunt of the Roanoke offense.

Each crossed the last white line on two occasions for touchdowns while Hurt contributed a field goal when he made good a placement kick from the thirty yard line In the third quarter. Hurt also successfully kicked the goal In three out of four atteis to score the point after touchdown. The Yellow Jackets found the Roanoke forward defense Impregnable. Efforts to skirt the ends were also futile. Lineup and summary: Roanoke.
