(fPh-Georgia Tech cashed In on Its one big opportunity in the fourth quarter today to putt out a 16 to 14 victory over Navy's often-brilliant but just as often luckless football team on the muddy gridiron of Baltimore's Municipal Stadium. Trailing halfway through. the final period as Navy's fine line consistently outplayedthe big Tech forwards, the Yellow Jackets saved their undefeated-untied record when they recovered a Navy fumble and turned It into the winning touchdown on a long forward pass.

It was Tech's seventh straight i victory tins season and perhaps the MA' 1 V. Big Bruce Bailey, triple-threat star of the University of Virginia back-fleld, tried hard yesterday, but the Cavaliers couldnt cope with the Pennsylvania Quakers, who took a 19-7 decision to stay unbeaten and end the Virginians' perfect record for the season.

JPh-University of Michigan's unbeaten football powerhouse picked up scoring steam on a field swept, by.

Intermittent snow flurries today, flattening Indiana ,35 to 0 to take another important stride toward the Big Nine championship and a New Year's Day Rose Bowl date. A capacity crowd of 85,938 fans turned out in frigid weather to PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8 7P Pennsylvania's big team slashed across for two touchdowns in the second half today to defeat the previously unbeaten Virginia Cavaliers, 19 to 7, before a capacity throng of 78,000 at Franklin Field. Tn retaining their spotless record among the nation's gridiron elect, the pounding Quakers twice shook loose their fleet halfback, Bob Deuber, for spectacular scoring runs of 61 and 56 yards to still Virginia's hope's of victory. The Cavaliers, who had won their first six games without Ing been scored on through the line, more than held their own through the first half, but lost their offensive punch completely In the last two periods.

At the game's end Penn was on the visiters' one-yard stripe. Deuber Does It Deuber, a 175-pounder from Bridgeton, N. swept around his own right end for 61 yards and a touchdown on Penn's first play from scrimmage, two minutes and 30 seconds after the kickoff. Again in the third quarter, after Virgin-la had tied the count at 7-7, he tore around the same wing for 56 yards and the winning score. The third Penn score came tome five minutes before the game ended, when Tony Mlnisl plunged across from the one-yard line to climax a 39-yard power parade through the tiring Virginia line.

Deuber injured a knee in the course of this drive and was carried from the field. In twelve carries the speedy Junior piled up 151 yards. Virginia, after surviving the shock of Deuber's first touchdown spring, enheartened its supporters by coming back and completely dominating the second period. With a cold northwest wind at their backs, the Cavaliers first drove 69 yards, only to pile up on the Penn one-foot line, and then came right back to go 27 yards lor their score. With Joe McCary pegging short i passes to Ed Bessell- and Alan Milne, Virginia swept in three plays to the- Penn one-yard mark, and fullback Grover Jones punched it across the first score through the quaker line this sea- son.

George Grimes' kick made it 7-7 at the half, and it looked like quite a football game. Once the third period opened, however, the contest became onesided. Unable to gain on the ground, Virginia started passing in its own end of the field, and me rebuiu wt uiaoowuuo. vw Chuck Bendarlk, Penn's big center and All-America candidate, inter- cepted tosses by McCary and Bruce Bailey to put the Cavaliers in the hole. The winning Penn drive began midway of the period from the Quakers' own 19.

With Deuber and Minisl carrying out repeated gains through the line, Penn moved to two first downs, planting the ball on its 44. Then Deuber struck again. On a reverse from Mlnisi he whirled out to his right, cut back, and instantly was In the clear and fleeing down the side line. Once past the line of scrimmage he wasn't touched. Again, only a few minutes later, Deuber broke loose on a 38-yard Jaunt across the Virginia goal line, but the play was recalled and the Quakers penalized for holding.

Throughout the third quarter the Cavaliers made only one brief 1 rf.n.iva irAKt.uri That was when DAVIDSON OVERCOMES RICHMOND, Nov. 8-Davld-son's scrapping Wildcats got the jump on the University of Richmond Spiders and earned a 13 to 7 victory before a cozy crowd of 3,000 spectators in City Stadium today. It was the first Southern Conference victory for Davidson which completely dominated the play in the first half and applied the brakes in the second half after the resurgent Spiders had scored their lone touchdown. All the scoring was done by the ends, Hal Mapes and Buddy Cheek for Davidson, and Bill Long for Richmond. Davidson was superior on the ground and in the air.

Someone forgot to tell-the Tigers about the the field for twelve hours before the torrential rain which had soaked game which should have made forward passing a precarious business. They flipped ten passes, completed seven and gvlned 102 yards aerially against the bewildered Spiders whose foreward pass defense was made conspicious by its absence. Davidson did everything but push the Spiders out of the Stadium in the first half and when the dogged Richmond line twice held for three downs in the shadow of the goal posts, Bert Anderson who played a lot of football for the Tigers, flipped touchdown passes. Buch Williams failed to convert after the first score but added the point after the second Tiger touchdown. Augusta Springs Baseball Players Guests At Dinner Joseph C.

Virginia Tech did practically all of its damage on the ground, mauling the Blue Generals' forward wall for 317 yards and 17 first downs, the Gobblers pitched only two passes and completed one. Washington and Lee, on the other hand, couldn't penetrate the rugged Gobblers' line with- any consistency, managing only 90 yards aground.

8 JP) Notre Dame's undefeated Fighting Irish bade a boisterous farewell to army in their historic series with a crushing 27-7 victory and a shamrock-named lad, Terry Brennan, personally humbled the outclassed Cadets before a shivering record crowd of 59,171 at Notre Dame Stadium today. The courageous cadets were stunned by Brennan's 95 yard touchdown run with the opening kickoff never regained their poise against the Inspired Irish. Notre Dame opened the finale of this famed 34 year rivalry apparently set on gaining full measure of revenge for the wartime 59-Oand 48-0 plasterings by the Army, but they ran out of gas against the stubborn Cadets. First Period Biggest Despite a spanking new offensive attack which piled up 361 yards by rushing to Army's 168, the Irish shot ttheir real wad in the first period with two touchdowns, both counted by Brennan and tthen pecked away for the other two touchdowns in the last two periods. The Cadets, suffering their 23rd defeat against seven victories and four ties in the memorable series which started in 1913, gained some small measure of consolation in scoring their only touchdown against a Frank Leahy-coached team in five meetings.

That came in the final period when fullback Elwyn Rowan, a gallant worker this frost-bitten afternoon, bulled over from the one yard line to cap a 56 yard cadet march. The Irish threw everything but the goal posts at the Cadets in a march to their sixth straight victory. Brilliant quarterback Johnny Lujack flipped surprising new laterals and sent such Irish-speedsters as Bob Livingstone and Larry Coutre. who scored the other two touchdowns, and Emil Sitko and Mike Swlstowicz hammering through the Cadets for big chunks of yardage. Brennan Is Leader But the real big- noise in the thunder the Irish shook down from their football skies was Terry Brennan, 19-year-old 173-pound phantom from Milwaukee, Wis.

His explosive game opening touchdown run was a work of gridiron art. Fielding Jack Mack-mull's opening kickoff on his own five, Brennan swerved toward the south sideline, threaded his way Into the clear by the time he reached Notre Dame's 35, and swooped down the sidelines the rest of. his 95 yard touchdown sprint The Irish, who how have Northwestern, Tulane and Southern California remaining to hurdle In a charge to their second straight national crown, were in complete charge after Brennan followed his brilliant long run with a three-yard slash for his second touchdown to cap an 80 yard Notre Dame scoring march. The Cadets, never quitting and always clawing with a knifing ground attack, battled the Irish scoreless In the second period, topping one Notre Dame drive on their own 11. KAINTUCKS TAKE W.

Eight thousand customers turned out at Cary Field thinking they would witness one of the Indians biggest massacre parties of the year, but when it was over, the big green-shirted Tribe had managed to beat Virginia Military Institute's never-say-die Keydets by the narrow margin of 28-20.

Until seconds were gone in th fourth period, it appeared the Indians were going to run true to form and tick up one of their better scores of the campaign. Dependable Stan Magdziak scored once himself on a ten-yard sprint through the line pitched two touchdown passes to freshman end Vito Ragaz-zo, one for 22 yards and one for 35. Fullback Jack Cloud rammed over from the three. Magdziak made good on all four tries for extra points from placement and the In dians led 28-0. Then the Keydets broke loose.

Substitute Quarterback Joe Veltrl whipped a 4-yard pass that substitute end Jimmy Gill, of Roanoke, pulled in and fell over the goal line for one touchdown. Keydets On Offensive Driving from their own 40. the Keydets moved 60 yards on eight plays that ended with Ray Tamalis slamming around rieht end from the ten. Joe Gantt set up VMI's third touchdown when he intercept ed one of Joseph (Buddy) Lex's passes and tore down to the In dians' 14. Vince Ragunas made the nnal yard.

Ken Carrington kicked the extra points. The fellow who broke the Indians' hearts and almost wrecked their homecoming throughout the afternoon was a husky 206 pound tackle named Malachi Mills, VMI captain from New Orleans, who broke up the William, and Mary running attack. He was easily the outstanding lineman out there today and on one series of downs in the second period Mills dumped the Indian backs, including Cloud twice, three times inside the VMI three-yard ribbon. With J. B.

Darby, chairman of the 'Gator Bowl selection committee watching them from the press box, the Indians tried to hit their stride for the second Saturday' in succession and weren't doing too oaaiy until the root caved in the fourth stanza.

(JPh-North Carolina, led by elusive Charlie Justice, scored almost at will to overwrelm North Carolina State 41-6 in a Southern Confer ence football game played before 40,000 fans here today. The fans came expecting to see a close game as the Tar Heels and Wolfpack, playing for the first time since 1943, renewed a rivalry that dates to 1894. Instead they saw the worst Wolfpack defeat since North Carolina triumpher 40-0 back in 1897. Justice, the flashy Tar Heel tail back, passed for one North Carolina score and went over tackle six yards for another. In all, Justice gained 123 yards in 14 tries, com pleted three to four passes for 42 yards, and punted five times to average 41.2 yards.

The Tar Heel superiority was so marked that Coach Carl Snavely played his reserves most of the second half, leading to the single State touchdown. Midway of the fourth period, Bernie Watts.
