MOUNTAINEERS ARE TOO MUCH FORGENERALS LAST-SECOND PASS BRINGS KEYDETS WIN University Scores In Every Period To Rout Outclassed Gobbler Eleven By R0BERT MOORE ROANOKE, Oct. A. iffy. There may have been something "crucial" about the University of Virginia's football game with Virginia Teoh Roanoke Victory Stadium today, but the Coach Art Guepe never found out what it was.

Like a fast freight bearing down the Cavaliers did Just about every-thing good that can be done with a pigskin out there today to run over, arondand the baly outslassed Gobblers from Blacksburg. 41-7 as 22,000 custmers looked SOUTHWEST Houston 35, Daniel Baker 12 Oklahoma 26, Texas AfcM 14 Arkansas 6, Texas Christian Tuba 28, Drake 14 Texas Tech ZI, West Texas State 13 Austin College 35, Trinity U. 0 Texas 34, North Carolina 0 FAR WEST Oregon State 14, Washington 7 Washington.

Dull took Roy-croft's klckoff on his own 30 and returned it 26 yards to the SMA 44.

Dodd and Dull collaborated to knock out a first down to the 30. Dodd in three tries pushed to another first on the 19. From here "Pistol Pete" Floyd tossed one over center to Ralph Black, who took it in the 10 and galloped over for the first score. Dodd went over center for the extra point. The Boys' Club's other score came midway the final period.

After another drive had been stopped by SMA on its own 13 yard line, the Blue and Gold took over and pushed out to their own 30. Here Dodd Intercepted a pass on the SMA 36. Dodd and Dull alternated carrying for two first downs to the seven yard line, and then Dodd went off right guard for the score. Floyd's pass to Black was complete for the extra point making the final score 14-0. The lineups: AMA Loses, 13-0 WASHINGTON, Oct.

Castiglia hit End El Trel-chel with two perfect passes In the end zone to give Georgetown Frosh a 13-p victory over Augusta Military Academy today. The first scoring pass was a 30-yard lob half-way through the first quarter. The second an 18-yard toss, coming Just before half-time. Dick Haesler booted the extra points. The Staunton Boys' Club got off to an auspicious beginning in their 1947 football campaign by banging out a well deserved 14-0 win over the SMA Jayvees at the Fairgrounds last night.

Several hundred fans were on hand to watch Coach Bill Lamer unveil the '47 edition of the Red Terrors, and they were not disappointed. Held scoreless throughout the first two periods by a scrappy SMA team, the Boys' Club came slamming back after the intermission to dominate completely the second half play and score once in each of the third and fourth periods. The score in no way gives a true picture of the two teams as the SMA Jayvees were outclassed by the more experienced clubbers. The Boys' Club ran 41 offensive plays to only 19 for SMA, and rolled up 155 yards by rushing to SMA's 26. Dodd Is Star Tommy Dodd from Hinton, W.

was the offensive star for the night, with some very able assist ance from Howard "Monk" Dull. These boys between them accounted for 125 of the 155 yards the SBC made on the ground; and Dodd, in addition, handled the punting and most of the passing. The Boys' Club goal was never seriously threatened. SMA's only drive came early in the first quarter when they put two first downs to push to the SBC 35 yard line. Here Black recovered a fumble by Breeding, and thus halted the proceedings.

The Clubbers were unable to get their offense clicking during the first half, and although they played mostly in SMA territory, they were unable to score. oniy seven minutes had passed before the Cavaliers moved 40 yards In eight plays for their first touchdown, halfback Billy Pennel racing the last 21 yards to score untouched. Although the first period ended 7-0, the big question was just how high the score might go. On the first play of the second stanza, back Grover Jones smashed Into the line, changed his pace, and crashed 29 yards to the goal. Swivel-hipped Bruce BaTTey, the long-striding Californian, tallied the third one, plunging over from the one, and Freshman Steve Osisek added six more points on a one-i'ard smash.

Another freshman, oohn Paplt, got in the scoring with a two-yara thrust, and a Joe Black to Edmund Bessell forward pass was good for 55 yards and Virginia's final touchdown. Coach Jimmy Kltts' Cobblers used what many regarded as their best offensive weapon of the 1946 seasonthe blocked point to avoid a whitewashing. In the ourth Lynchburg's' Cordell McGraw slashed through to block one of the fifth team's punts on the Cavalier 32, scooped up the leather and never looked back. Tackle Ross Orr's place kick was good. Pos.

Coming back after the intermission, the Mountaineers got two more touchdowns in the third and a pair in the last period, the final coming with less than 15 seconds left in the ball game. Washington Lee, seeking the Generals fifth victory In the 31-year-old rivalry, scored its lone touchdown in the final quarter by virtue of a 47-yard run to the four by halfback Charles Harrington and two vicious pay-off lunges by fullback Brian Bell.

State EAST LANSING, Oct. 4 -VPh Michigan Stixte bounced back from a crushing 56-0 defeat by Michigan last week to squeak out a 7-0 win over Mississippi State today before 22,562 partisan fans. Although most-of the gange was played in Spartan territory, the State men managed to beat off successive scoring threats and grounded the passing attack that was expected to give the favored Maroons the victory.

The game went scoreless until the last half of the third quarter when a recovered fumble set up the Spartan scoring chance. Lynn Chandnois intercepted one of the many passes thrown by Tom "Shorty" McWUllams on the Spartan 36 and carried it to the en emy 31. The advantage showed up when Michigan State took over on their own 46 after an exchange of punts.

It was Purdue's first Western Conference victory in two and the first for Coach Stewart K. "Stu" Holcomb, former Army line coach and one-time team mate of Ohio State's Coach Wesley Fesler.
