Alabama Topples Tech From Ranks Of Unbeaten, 14-7 BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 15. Alabama bounced Georgia Tech from the list of nation's perfect-record teams today, 14-7, as Harry Gilmer turned in one of his brighter pitching performances. A capacity crowd of 35,000 watched Gilmer, a frail looking youngster, pass the favored Yellow Jackets dizzy in the first half, when he completed seven of eight tosses.

He had five straight without a miss to carry the Tide 57 yards of a first period, 69-yard scoring drive. After scoring the first touchdown himself on a plunge, he threw two more passes to end Rebel Steiner in the second period, the final for six yards and a tally to climax a 22-yard scoring movement.

LOWE GENERAL SCORE COMES ON FINAL PLAY ROANOKE, Nov.

15. (-Wfl-; 11am and Mary's Indians mixed their "Flying Cloud" with the mud of Victory Stadium here today and came up with an impressive 45-8 victory over Washington and Lee's game but outclassed Generals from Lexington. The Indians' Xloud of course" was sophomore fullback Jack Cloud ol Norfolk, who went on the wildest touchdown-making spree of his collegiate career, driving over the final ribbon four times to tally more than half of the Tribe's points. It remained lor the Generals, however, to give the shivering crowd of 3,500 customers the biggest thrill of the afternoon. Twenty second were left, and the 'Indians were doing their best to get another score.

Stan Magdzlak, the Indians' strong right "arm," flipped an aerial from the Generals' 24-yard ribbon that end Marvin Graham was supposed to haul down behind the goal, but Gene Bennett, a sophomore halfback, intercepted it squarely on his one-yard stripe and danced all the 99 yards before him to the goaL Time ran out while Bennett was running. Three of the Cloud's touchdowns came on line plunges from Inside the one-yard marker, the other, from the three.

Army, rebounding from last week's battering by Notre Dame, dumped mighty Pennsylvania from the ranks of the nation's undefeated, untied elevens today by battling the Quakers to a 7 to 7 deadlock at Franklin Field.

A chilled crowd of 78.000 saw two Eastern powers each grind out a long scoring drive in the second quarter, and then settle back to hold each other throughout the last half At the finish; Perm was pressing the Cadets, but Coach George Munger's big pupils couldn't put across the touchdown that would have kept their victory string intact at eight straight. Army, still almost totally devoid of a passing attack, scored first early In the second period at the end of a bruising 78-yard march through the Perm defenses. Bob Scuart cracked over from the 10-yrad line, and Joe Steffy booted the extra point, to put the Cadets in front 7-0. Quakers Swing Back Penn, aroused at being behind for the first time this year, took the ensuing kick-off and tore 67 yards to its score in 10 plays, mostly on a passing game, which left Army's secondary defenders baffled. After a succession of bullet throws by Tony Minsl, and Bob Evans had propelled the ball to the three-yard line, Ray Dooney, a relief back, smashed it across.

Ed Lawless converted, to make it 7-7, and they might just as well have quit right there. Not again did either team seriously threaten. Army had shot its wad, and only once in the second halt reached mid-field. Penn did a little better, but not much. Twice in the final period the Quakers, who had looked forward avidly to gaining revenge on Army for some bad beatings absorbed during the war, bulled their way down to the Cadets 30, but there they spluttered out.

SYDNEY, 13-7 The placement was good. The half ended 7-0. Hampden- sytiney. Bill Sherrod, Randolph-Macon left tackle, blocked Lynn Chewning's kick on the five, and Robert Brown recovered, to set up first score. On the next play Brown Phelps scored on a quarterback sneak.

Roger Dughi converted, to make the score 7-7. The third quarter ended after an exchange of punts, with the score still tied. With the score tied and four mln utes left, Hampden-Sydney funw bled on their own 41 and MarvM Garrett recovered for Randolph Macon. Phelps ran for a first down, and on the nextx play Bob Sprenger went to the five. Then Dughi went through the right side of the Hampden-Sydney line behind beautiful blocking to score standing up.

Dughi's attempted placement was no good. Mini Defeat Ohio State Team COLUMBUS. Nov. 15 (ff Illinois powered and finessed its way to a 28 to 7 victory over Ohio State's hapless Bucks today before 70,036 fans, wheeling to two fast touchdowns in the final session to grab easily a verdict which had been doubtful through the first three quarters. Going into the Big Nine struggle a 20-point favorite, the Illlnl were hand-pressed through the first three periods i nwhich they built up a 14-7 edge, the third period being all in favor of the underdog Bucks.

Virginia's plunging Cavaliers, taking advantage of a series ol right side plays which befuddled a Mountaineer line, defeated West Virginia University 8-0 today in the last four minutes of the game. Virtually all the excitement of the Mountaineer homecoming game, aside from a great punting duel between George Grimes of Virginia, and Euss Combs of West Virginia, came as the scoreboard clock was ticking off the final minutes. After Grover Jones slid over for the only score of the game, West Virginia came back with a spectacular passing attempt which almost succeeded In tying the score. An all-night rain ended shortly before the crowd of 18,000 settled down for a duel In the mud which In the first three periods showed neither team with any great advantage. Pass No Good The sloppy going slowed down passing on both sides, with only the Cavaliers-making any ground in the air for a long time.

Fumbles spoiled several good chances by both teams and the lines held strongly until the last quarter power drive bv the eenWemen from Virginia. Twenty-five members of West Virginia's undefeated squad or inn the last Mountaineer team which defeated Virginia watched the 1947 edition beaten back by the Cavaliers. After three scoreless quarters and well into the final period, West Virginia had punted to the Virginia 43 yard line. All day the punting battle between Grimes and Combs had gone on, with Combs doing a little more of It because tne west Virginia backs seldom got through for any good gains.

After the score, the Mountaineers took the ball on the 31, and Walter Malyk squeezed through for a first down.

Tom Keane, West Virginia aerial ace. went in and threw a 45-yard pass to halfback Jim Walthall, who was downed on the Virginia 18. With only two minutes left, Keane threw one after the other, all to fall In the end zone. One of them looked good for a moment end Ber nard Huntz had his hands on the ball, but slammed against the goal post and dropped it. Second Performance More Finished Karel Capek's play, "R.U.R.", was given a much more finished and faster-moving presentation by the Mary Baldwin Dramatic Club last evening in the second of a two-night run, than it was the first evening.

The handling of lines was more assured and the treatment of some scenes more realistic. As on the first night, understanding and ability, as well as expert directing fcy Fletcher Collins were clearly evident. William Freer Beck, as Harry Domin, the robot factory director who never faltered in his belief that it was a colossal achievement to create robots for the purpose of establishing a new social era, was the star of the performance last evening. He set the pace for the rest of the cast In a difficult role. Another performer who was outstanding was Patricia Williams, as Helena Glory, who became Harry Domin's wife and the idol of all the officials of the robot factory, Miss Williams did scene excellent acting.

Her voice and diction were especially good. A moving interpretation of an old man whose career has not measured up to his belilefs and dreams was given by Peggy Reid, who portrayed Mr. Algulst both evenings equally well. Mary Lilly contributed striking beauty and competent acting as Dr. Gall; and the other factory jfficials were presented very effectively follows: Evelyn Mathews as Consuela Busman, Jo Ann Vann at Dr.

and Mouphida Hassen as Jean Fabry. Primus and Helena the Robotess, the Adam and Eve of the play, were charming and ideally cast to give the touches of acting desired to the last' scene of the play. Betty Jo Buescher, as JJana, gave another interesting portrayal. Jackie Edwards, as Radius, the robot who led the revolt against mankind, did a small but Important part well The factory profile by Lyle Irvine, added much to the success of the production. The entire set In Its implicity and striking color combinations.

I director, actors, and produc-i' tion staff of "R.U.R." deserve com mendation for a worthwhile play, intelligently presented. i' itm t4. from the one-yard line, all-state guard Bill Henderson split the uprights with a perfect kick from placement to provide the victory margin. Henderson starred both offensively and defensively all afternoon and completely stole the spotlight from VMI's Captain Malachl a big tackle that the Keydets are boosting for conference honors. It was Henderson, a Tuscaloosa, boy who charged through to block Joe Gantt's attempted punt to set up The Cltadel'a touchdown as time ran out.

Henderson batted the ball hard and it rolled back almost 50 yards to the VMI eleven before Gantt was able to cover it. After Marty Ger-shon, Jack McConnell and Dick Sparks had advanced on short thrusts, Goodman plunged over center for a first down on the one yard line and then went over on the next play. Henderson's boot followed and that was the ball, game aa VMI got to run only two plays after the kickoff.v EUROPEAN AID (Continued from page One) and some from both parties said they think it may be much wiser for the United States to let Europe know in terms of specific commodities, such as wheat, coal, oil, fertilizer and machinery what it reas-oiftbly Oftn cxjj'C'ct t' receive more numerous than desirable in a normal herd.

The hard-running Virginia Tech Gobblers were only partially slowed by a muddy fiield today as they rolled to a 26-14 Southern Conference triumph over the battling University of Richmond Spiders. Some 5,500 thoroughly chilled spectators In Miles Stadium saw the Gobblers pile up a 26-0 lead in the first three periods and then survive a fighting finish by their Big Six foes which produced a tally in each of the last two periods. -The field was soaked by a down-4 pour which stopped shortly before TARHEELS OVERWHELM MARYLANDERS WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-vP) Maryland made three mistakes in the fourth period today, and North Carolina promptly turned them into three touchdowns and a 19-0 Southern Conference victory. For three scoreless periods, the two teams skidded around futilely on a muddy field, and the 22,291 customers began to think Maryland might have a chance to tie the favored Tar Heels.

But in the fourth period everything went wrong for Maryland, as this itemized list will show: 1. Vic Turyn, Maryland quarterback, fumbled the slippery ball and Carolina's Bill Wardle fell on it just 18 yards from a touch-dowa Fullback Walt Pupa hit the Maryland line three times, and the last time he went for eight yards and a touchdown. "Bob Cox placekicked the extra point. 2. Lu Gambino, Maryland's ace runner, fumbled at about his own 30.

Various characters had a try at the ball, squirting around like a watermelon seed, before Larry Klosterman, Tar Heel guard, fell on it on the 12. Pupa got two yards, and then Charlie Justice scampered around end for the touchdown. 3. Turyn's desperation pass was intercepted by Fred Sherman, North Carolina wingback, and he beat it down the sideline 32 yards for a touchdown. The whole thing was packed into less than ten minutes of playing time.

The wonder is that it didn't happen to Maryland sooner, for the Terrapine fumbled seven times and six times the ball wound up under a North Carolinan. This compares with two North Carolina fumbles, only one of which got away. The highly advertised battle between Justice and Gambino was buried in the very receptive mud of Griffith Stadium. Justice's longest run was 23 yards, and Gambino's bes was good for 24. It was no day for breakaway football runners.

GAME HAMPDEN ASHLAND, Nov. 15. (JF) Randolph Macon College's Yellow Jackets swarmed out of a muddy and rain- drenched field in the third and fourth quarters stinging the Hampden-Sydney Tigers 13-7 for the benefit of Randolph-Macon's old grads, who had gathered here for their homecoming. The Hampden-Sydney Tigers played inspired and spirited ball throughout the contest, and left the field at the half with a 7-polnt lead over the Jackets. This traditional contest, 46th in the series, was played in a sea of mud and continual rain.

But the contest held 3,500 fans to their places, although everyone was completely drenched. A pass interception by Tiger Ronnie Shifflett in the second quarter on the Tigers' 28 set up the first Hampden-Sydney score. The pass was intended for Bob Golubic and was tossed by Stan Gumberlock. A few plays later after Lynn Chew-ning teamed up with Doug Chapman to bring the ball to the 16, where the Tigers received a 15-yard penalty for clipping. On the next play the Tigers carried the ball to the 28.

Bill Wall carried it over on a run around left end. Clemson Tigers Thump Duquesne PITTSBURGFH. Nov.

The underdog Dukes scored first in about six minutes of the first period, but this deviation from the script only stung the Tigers into a high-powered offensive, which resulted in a 27-7 Clemson lead at half-time.
