Prior to today, the Haver-fords had never crossed a Jacket line in two previous games. Roger Dughl, Yellow Jacket fullback, kept his placement record spotless when he kicked the extra point after the Randolph-Macon touchdown.

It was his tenth kick in succession. Yellow Jackets had 14 first downs, while Haverford racked up 13, but the Randolph-Macon eleven committed errors and Haverford capitalized on them. The Jackets held the Quakers on downs twice, when they haa driven to within easy scoring distance. A fumble by Randolph-Macon's Stan Gummerlock set up the first Haverford score in the second quarter. The Jackets" had the ball on the vlsltors'10-yard line, and at this point Gummerlock bobbled.

Following the recovery, Haverford's boteler, William Miller and Harry Garrison marched the ball down the field on a sustained drive. At the Jackets' 35 Miller passed to Chris Amus-sen, who lateralled to Robert Price for the score. Price's kick was good, and Haverford led at the half, 7-0. Immediately after the half, Haverford and the Jackets staged a kicking duel, and Haverford intercepted a Gummerlock pass Intended for Bill Caldwell and a few plays later Miller ran 15 yards off left tackle for the score. Price again converted, and Haverford led, 14.0.

Mostly on Tew's running, but with some help from Bill Caden-head and Gilmer, the Tide had an edge in net yards rushing, 251 to 15. and led in first downs, 17 to 11. Except for the lone scoring effort, Georgia threatened only two more times, once when the Bulldogs drove 40 yards to be stopped at the tide 21, and again in the final minutes when a 20-yard pass, Rauch to Bob Walston, went to the Alabama six A fumble ended that threat two plays later. Alabama took the lead on the first punt when Gilmer gathered in Joe Geri's towering punt and sped 80 yards without being touched. He stumbled at the 10 but made It into the end zone with a hinge.

A near-capacity crowd of 25,000 at Florida Field saw the Tar Heels sweep to three touchdowns in the first 11 minutes and add a pair in the final period.

Florida was able to score only once, that in the second period on Loren Broadus' 77-yard streak down the sidelines.

RICHMOND, Oct 25 (UP)) After rolling across the goal line three times in the first half, the University of Richmond football machine shifted into low gear in lidlng to a 20 to 0 victory over Hampden -Sydney'soutclassed Tigers In City Stadium today before a scant crowd of 4,000 spectators.

Frank Thompson, the Spiders' extra point specialist, converted after the second and third touchdowns.

That's all there was to it. Hampden-Sydney couldn't acore and Richmond wouldn't score. Second and third stringers played for the Spiders a great deal of the ball game and such: scintillating backs as Ralston, his brother all-stater Jack Wilbourne, and the fleet-, footed Cotton Billlngsley saw very little service. Gat Leonard, plucky little Tiger halfback, woke up some of the spectators in the fourth period when he ripped off two consecutive fiist downs to carry the ball to Richmond's 35 but the Spiders put down the bars at that point Frequent Fumbles Despite frequent backfleld substitutions which slowed up the running game and resulted in five fumbles (all recovered by Hamp-den-Sydney's ball hawks), the fcpiders ripped off 263 yards from Bcrimage and gained 99 through the air, although only five of 14 passes were, completed. The Tigers gained a total of 61 yards rushing and picked up seven more on two passes.

PENNSYLVANIA NAVY BY 21-0 PHILADELPHIA, Oct 25-ff-Pennsylvanla's ponderous football machine rolled up Impressive hunks of yardage and a 21 to 0 victory over the Navy today, but It wasn't until the final quarter that the Quakers moved fast enough to make their fourth straight triumph a certainty. A capacity crowd of 78,205, packing Penn's big double-decked Franklim Field Stadium, -saw-the ffcome team take a 7-0 lead in the first quarter and hold grimly onto it through an unimpressive display of old-fashioned bone-crushing football tintil the weary midshipmen crumbled in the last period. Statistically, it was all Penn'i game, but the Red and Blue clad team wasted many of its opportunities through fumbling and poor passing. Navy didn't do much, if any, better in either respect.

Penn racked up 18 first downs to Navy's seven, outgained the Midshipmen 212 yards to 103 on the ground and 123 yards to 57 In the air. Penn blew one touchdown right at the outset and fumbled away another in the third quarter while Navy's two scoring chances both were fumbled away. Tony Minisl, a one-time Midshipman, led Penn to victory Just as he did a year ago, gaining 58 yards on running plays and 67 on passes and in general sparking the Penn attack. Navy never got Inside Penn's 20-yard line, losing its best scoring chance in the third quarter after marching from its own 23 yard line to the Penn 36. Al McCully, second best ground gainer for the Middles, then slashed through the middle of the Penn line; when he was hit at the 27, the ball spurted out of his hands and was recovered by Penn's Jim Conway on the 16.

OVERCOMES BLACKSBTJRG, Oct. 25-W The right arm of Vic Turyn and the right toe of Tom McHugh spoiled Virginia Tech's homecoming here today as the University of Maryland Terps surged from behind with 14 points in thd fourth period to defeat the Gobblers, 21-19. Nearly 13,000 spectators in Miles Btaritum saw their victory hopes fade as the Terps' aerial attack clicked late in tne game, ueorge Slmler caught Turyn's. short pass on the 20 and dashed across the goal midway in the fourth and John Idzik raced 37 yards to score a few minutes later on Tur yn's lateral.

Gambino had a net gain of only 33 yards to show for eight attempts.

The favored Terps, beaten only by Duke this season, looked like sure losers when Tech steamrollered to the straight touchdowns in the first period. The Gobblers took possession on ttheir 35 after an exchange of punts and drove to the Maryland eight in nine plays. The threat ended temporarily when Early Roth booted out to the Maryland 46 after Al Phillips recovered Chip Collum's fumble on the eight. Tnn ift.vrrf nenalties advanced Tech to the 16.

The Cavaliers, a bit slow getting started, wrapped up the verdict with a 21 -point splurge in the second period and tallied twice more after Intermission. Rifle-armed Bobby Thomason, constant threat from the opening whistle to the last, pitched the Keydets to their lone marker in the third quarter with a nip to ena Ira Crvtzer in the end rone.

For the first time during the eurrent season, Virginia failed to score the initial period. But tne Cavaliers missed it by only a hair's breadth. Just three seconds naa elapsed to the second stanza when Grover Jones, the jet-propeiiea fullback, crashed over from the two-yard ribbon to climax a 77-yard sustained drive and give Coach Art Guepe's well-drilled young men the lead they never relinquished.

Ray Brown, the slippery halfback who had seen limited service this year because of a leg injury, tossed a ten-yard aerial to Billy Pennel in the end zone to give the Cavaliers their third six-pointer before intermission. Jones and. Bruce Bailey pounced over on line bucks in the last half for the remaining Virginia scores. VMI, undaunted despite the mountainous Cavalier lead, came back with a rush in the fading minutes of the third period while trail ing, 28-0. Taking the leather on their own 40, the Keydets ripped in five plays to the Virginia four from where Thomason passed to Crytzer for the touchdown.

Harrington's conversion attempt was wide. Lines Shine Virginia's offense, though powerful as usual, shared honors with the Cavaliers savage forward wall. The Virginia line, led by ends Ed Bessell and Bob Weir, held the VMI running attack to a net of six yards, tossing Keydet passers for long losses on numerous occasions. Despite this difficulty, however, Thomason and his sidekicks, Joe Veltri and Joe Gantt, connected on 14 out of 26 heaves for a total of 217 yards.

Oct. 25. JP) Fred Folger triple-threat tailback led undefeated but once tied Duke University to a 13 to 6 victory today over previously un beaten Wake Forest in a Southern Conference football game played before 25,000 screaming fans. Although he did not score, Folger carried and passed the ban 353 yards. His runs ranged from a few yards to an 82-yard jaunt on the last play of the game.

Wake Forest's vaunted passing attack was unleashed in the third quarter. Freshman Bill Gregus pitched a series of aerials to Red O'Quinn as the Wakes moved to the Duke 15. nere he dropped back and sent one far into the end zone to ungarded Carl Haggard. Nick Ognovlch's try from placement was no good. But Coach Walkce Wade, des tlned to ring up his seventh victory over Coach D.

C. Walker against no defeats, bounced back quickly. Fol ger unleashed his passing arm, hit Buddy Mulligan for a 15-yard gain to the Duke 45, then shot one to Ed Austin to the Wake Forest 30, and another to Benny Gittadio for eight yards. George dark plowed to the Wake Forest five and the quarter ended with the ball on the four. Mulligan went over on a handoff after five seconds of the final quar ter.

Paul Stephanz's try for the extra point was no good. After turning back a Wake For est drive on the one foot line, Duke started scoring operations again, still under Folger's leadership. Folger got off a 20 yard run to the Wake Forest 25 and then found Tom Hughes in the flat for nine more. Folger tried to reach Mulll gan but officials ruled that Mulll gan was roughed by Jeff Brogden and the ball was placed on the Wake four. George Clark ran wide around his own left end and crossed over practically untouched.

John Copley kicked the point. Wake Forest's line was a masterpiece of defense. But it couldn't stop Duke in the clinch, whereas Duke's less-heralded line stopped the Deacons on the one-foot line after four downs.

Orange reeled off several long runs for considerable yardage, and Prillaman, Houchins and Wilson also toted the- ball for quite a few first downs. But the feature of the game, from a VSD standpoint, was the passing combination of Wallace to Yates. The glue-fingered end, besides catching one touchdown pass, was on the receiving end of six more Wilson passes.

One of these was over the goal line but was voided by an offside penalty. VSD made its second touchdown in the final period, driving sixty yards to do so. Orange and Houchins took the ball to the Lane 40, and Wilson connected on two passes to Yates to put the ball on the seven.

He raced 65 yards with Dick Woodard helping clear the way In the third period before Lujack and Brennan forced him out of bounds on the Irish 10. Then he passed to Hal Shoener In the end zone, only to have the touchdown nullified by an Iowa offside.

Notre Dame was leading 14-0 at that time, and the infraction undoubtedly hurt, for the Hawkeyes were stopped cold on the 2 trying to make it up. Prank Tripucka, Lujack's understudy who accounted for most of the Irish's 89 aerial yards, hit end Bill Wlghtkln for 47 yards in the fourth quarter but Bob Livingstone fumbled away the ball. Then a few plays later Tripucka again speared Wlghtkln for a 25-yard touchdown which was cancelled by a backfleld in motion penalty.

Notre Dame's third touchdown started in the final minutes of the third period and blossomed after two plays In the finale. Substitute IFoyd Simmons and Brennan combined in a 53 yard scramble topped by a two-yard plunge by reserve halfback Larry Coutre.

The deciding touchdown came with less than seven minutes left to go. Lou Kusserow smashed through the Army line from two yards after a beautiful pass by Rossides and an equally great catch by end Bill Swiackl had gained 23 yards and placed the ball in scor ing position.

Pitt Panthers Upset Buckeyes PITTSBURGH. Oct. 25. The Pitt Panthers, thumped by four rivals this season, burst the shackles of defeat today and gave old grads in a crowd of 55,217 a flashback to past football glories by upsetting favored Ohio State, 12-0, in a stirring climax to homecoming festivities. The well-earned victory not only broke a string of losses this year but also ended a record of "Big Nine" supremacy over the Panthers which had extended nine years through 24 games.

Ohio State, owning a mediocre record of one victory, a' tie and two defeats before today, literally let the game slip through its fingers. Fumbles ended one serious scoring threat and put the Buckeyes constantly in the hole through the first half until Pitt negotiated its first and winning touchdown. COLUMBIA ENDS NEW YORK, Oct. Led by brilliant Gene Rossides, the Columbia Lions rallied to score two fourth period touchdowns today and defeat Army 21 to 20 in an amazing upset which shattered the Cadets' great string of 32 consecutive games without a loss. Twice in a delirious fourth quarter the Light Blue drove down the field for 60 and 67 yards on Rossides' passing and running to score and hand the Cadets their first defeat since they lost to Navy in 1943.

A capacity crowd of 35,000 swarmed onto the field when the gun sounded to end the struggle with the Lions threatening to score. Army scored two touchdowns In the first and second periods before the Lions found themselves, and still held an apparently safe 20 to 7 lead at half time.

The Raiders playing their first game under lights in eight years, seemed to have trouble keeping track of the ball. The spectators had hardly settled In their seats before Lane had registered two touchdowns, one each by Wallenborn and Cason.

Both came on off-tackle plays. The Raiders came back however, scoring in the first period. Orange and Prillaman reeled off three successive first downs, and then from the 30 Wilson tossed a perfect touchdown pass to end Leo Yates, who caught it on the dead ran. Prillacnan went through guard for the point Lane kept hammering at the tackles and scored once in the second quarter on a long run by Adams. Half time score was 18 to 7.

The Lane backs really had a field day in the second half almost the identical play, an off tackle run, was used each time to devastating effect. Carroll dashed 75 yards for one tally, Lewis scored from the s'x, Adams made his second touchdown on another long run, Wallenborn scooted 90 yards for his second tally and a 40 yard run by Moore accounted for Lane's seventh and last touchdown. An oddity of the game was the.
