VA. PLAYS CONSISTENTLY TO RETURN TO WIN COLUMN; SUPERIOR TEAM DEFEATS GENERALS 20 TO 6 BY THE SPORTS EDITOR Playing consistently better football all the way; the University of Virginia returned to the victory column yesterday, defeating the Generals of Washington and Leg twenty to six. Playing in Scott stadium, both teams battled as if anxious to beat the operation of the Selective Service act.

As a result, the greatest' tenseness prevailed on the field. Fights developed, and two of the participants, W. Dick Pinck and Virginia's. Al Frerotte, were put out "of the game for "pugging." Spectators were on edge, too, and from both sides of the stadium there frequently arose boos and other signs of displeasure that forecast possible activity by fans and supporters on the already engaged field. At decisions of the officials also there broke out frequent evidence of disagreement, the two groups of supporters several times rising from their seats in protest.

This V. LI. TAKES The Spiders to Upset Victory Richmond, Nov. 9. Arthur Jones, the University of Richmond's ace triplethreat, passed the spiders" to a surprising 14-13 victory over the University of North Carolina foot ball team before 8,500 pop-eyed spectators here today.

The lanky Jones threw ten yards to BoB. (Swede) Ericitson, Soph. end, to put Richmond ahead in the first period and then sent the Spiders out in front again early in the fourth with a H-yard aerial to Dick Humbert, Erickson's run-lng mate. Jones placekicked both extra points. Led by Frank O'Hart and Sid Sadoff, Carolina moved steadily from the Tar Hells seventeen to a touchdown in the second, OUare going off his right tackle five yards to tally.

Harry Dunkle missed the placement attempt and the Spiders remained ahead 7-6, With Sadoff tearing the Rich mond line to pieces, the Tar Heels marched from their 26 to another" touchdown in the third, Sadoff scoring from the three. Dunkle's placement was good this time and Carolina was on top by 13-7. The Tar Heels were without the services of Jim (Sweet) Lalanne, their leading back, and Paul Severin, All-American end, who were out with injuries. Lalanne went in for one play in the third period scoring to pass IS yards to John Miller, Rookie end, but Severin did not enter the game at all. Even with these Tars out, how ever, Carolina was slated to win about as she pleased and Coach Ray Wolf played second and third stringers throughout the opening period and sent them in again in the third after the regulars had gone out in front.

Carolina's hard-running backs got sixteen first downs to eight for Richmond, piling up a net of 205 yards rushimrto 97 for Richmond, but it was Just too much Jones for the Tar Heels to handle. Jones connected with seven of fifteen aerials for 123 yards, his quick-kicking was brilliant and he almost shook himself loose for touchdowns several times with some fancy stepp ing on punt returns. Score by periods: North Carolina Richmond 0.6 10 0-13. 7-14 Handball Play Opens On Monday Pairings were drawn vesterdav for the first annual Y.M!CA. hand ball tournament, and play will begin in both singles and doubles, Mon day.

Due to the fact handball has been played for only a very short time, the field of entries was limited with only eight entries in the singles and eight in the doubles. ESTABLISH (By the Sports Editor) Returnlnr early last nlrht from Charlottesville, where we witnessed a football rune re Diet with rough ness, bat interspersed with flashes of real gridiron abilities, and saw we university of Virginia emerge a 20-to-6 victor over Washington and Lee In a well-deserved victory, we ran into "additional trouble" that had been exoerienved on The HiU where Staunton and Augusta Military academies niaved their traditional, prep school, grid classic. Naturally, we didn't see this time, All we know about it is what we've been told. But after the contest with the various officials of the contest, and with the athletic directors of the two institutions, we make the following suggestions which we hope shall be taken to heart: By all means, regardless of and all technicalities involved, despite all conditions and situations that were favorable or unfavorable to either or both teams, olar the game again. To this surrestion.

we confidently believe the officials or tne two scnoois, and the athletics directors; after mature deliberation, will agree to. 2. Secure four different officials to handle the playoff, and set the date on the earliest possible day. 3. Other details, such as where the game shall be played, can be agreed upon.

From what we have been told, there are too many conflicting versions and opinions on yesterday's game. 1. As we understand the playing rules, only the referee has the right and duty of announcing the final score where disputes arise. 2. Referee Paul A.

Holstein, Lex ington lawyer and an alumnus of Washington and Lee university, class of 1932, told us last night over the telephone that technically, the score should be one to nothing in favor of Staunton Military academy. This constitutes the score of ft forfeited game, and resulted yes terday, Holstein said, when the A. M. A. team was taken off the field.

by Its coach. 3. However. Mr. Holstein said he would not declare the forfeited 1 to 0 score in S.

AL favor, unless his three associated officials In the game would agree to it. 4. Mr. Holstein said further: Be cause of very much desired friendly athletic relationships between the two local schools, which by all means should be continued, he sug gested that the game be declared "no contest," and that it be played over. He said the A- M.

A. coach did withdraw his team, but that under same circumstances he probably would have done the same. 5. Mr. Holstein said further, explaining that he had told the same thing to Athletic Directors Alex Deane and Thomas Howie, that the rules had been violated in the first place by, playing ntteen-minute quarters instead of twelve, the latter being the regulation for high and prep school football games.

6. The primary objective is to keep friendly relationships between the two schools, Mr. Holstein said, ftjasVne, therefore, felt the game UNCERTAINTY; THOUGHT LIKELY cannon was fired under the AMA goal by students of the local military school, and Marks, scrappy little AMA halfback, claimed that he was hit in the eye with ft piece of wadding from the gun. When the Augusta students heard this, rolled an masse out of the stands onto the field and for a while it looked as if there would be some trouble between them and students of the local school. However, officials soon parted them and the game went on.

About a minute later, SMA recovered a fumble on the Au gusta eleven and Kasunlch again protested on the playing conditions, taking his team off the field after some argument. To the writer's knowledge, it is uie iirst time mat a hall game has been forfeited iere because of such conditions. Had the Blue and White finish ed the game and held the local club, it would have been the first time since 1932 that they were able to register a Victory over the Blue and Gold. In 1936 these teams fought to a thirteen-all tie, and in the past several years SMA has soundly trounced the boys from Fort Defiance. Game Itself But now for the game itself.

Big Nick Forkovitch, hard- plunging AMA fullback was by far the most outstanding back on the field. He scored twenty of his team's twenty-six points. bringing his total for the season to 126. Metzger, right end for the visitors, scored the other touchdown, making twelve points for him for the season. He and Forkovitch have monopolized the scoring for their team so far this season, having scored all the points between them.

AMA got off to a seven-to-noth ing lead in the first quarter, pushing over a score in the final seconds 'of play. Forkovitch recovered Hawkins fumble on his own thirty-six and AMA started to roll from there. Forkovitch was good for ten yards and a first to the He made eight on the next play, but Hodges lost three of it back to the twenty-one. On the next play Hodges was good for five and a first to the sixteen. Forkovitch made it a first to the two, and two plays later carried it over.

His kick for extra point was good and the Augustans were leading seven to nothing. Rhodes took Forkovitch's kickoff on the twenty and returned it to the thirty-nine as the quarter ended. On the first play of the second period, Butner was stopped for no gain on an attempted run, but on the next play Hawkins went off-tackle and down the left sideline to score standing up. The play was, good for sixty-one yards. Brown's kick was good for the extra point, and the score was evened at seven-all.

In the final minutes of the second quarter, AMA pushed over another score to give them a thir teen-to-seven lead at halftime. Hodges had intercepted Jones's pass on his own forty and returned to the SMA forty-seven. The locals were given a five yard offsides penalty and six plays later the great Forkovitch carried it over. His placement was blocked. The Blue and Gold carried the pigskin to the fourteen in the last seconds of play, but here AMA held and three passes were knocked down, the ball going to AMA on the twenty.

The Blue and White came roaring back in the last half to register two more touchdowns in the third period. Metzger, AMA right end, intercepted an SMA lateral, going from Rhodes in- tended for Hamer and raced a hand being laid upon him. Forkovitch's kick for extra point was good. Harner took Adams' kick on the nine and returned it to the thir ty. He made seven yards at the i line, but on the extra play Rhodes fumbled and Forkovitch recovered on the thirty-seven, scoring seven plays later.

The Kick for extra point was blocked. SMA pushed over two tallies in the final period, before the AMA mentor took his team off the field. Andy Jones's kick was downed on the two end Forkovitch got off a poor kick to the twenty-two where it went out of bounds. After two passes fell incomplete Butner took it twenty yards to the two for a first and Rhodes plunged over center for the score. Butner's kick split the uprights.

Then about three minutes later Forkovitch's kick was blocked and Enck recovered for the score. Butner's kick was again good, and the lviil vir trailing t.wentv-nne rto twenty-six. Eight plays later, with a minute and thirty seconds left to play and the ball in SMA's possession on the visitors' eleven yard line, the AMA coach took his team off the field. Forkovitch was easily the best man on the field. He ran hard and kept charging, and did not stop until he hit the ground.

Little Skeeter Hodges in the AMA backfield also showed up well, while Billy Lamer, a local boy playing with AMA, displayed a good brand of ball while in the game. H. Adams, Watters, D'Amore, and Metzger played a good game in the line. For the Hilltoppers Butner looked the best in the backfield. Ed Jones also showed up well on offense and Jimmy Rhodes played a good game on the defense.

Enck, Bermont, and Pyles played a good game in the line. Harry Harner, local star and all-state back last year, started, but did not show up as well as usuaL Evidently he was still nursing a broken collar-bone received in scrimmage early in the season. Lineups: Pos. A. AL A.

Staunton, Va. FARLEY'S Phone 248 CONTEST INTO PLAY-OVER (By Sports Staff Writer) When darkness interrfered in the ast minutes of play in the game here yesterday- afternoon between SMA and AMA on the Hill, John Kasunlch, coach of the Augusta eleven, removed his team from the field, protesting that it was too dark to play ball. The score at the time was twenty-six to twenty-one hi favor of the Augusta aggregation, with but one minute and' thirty seconds left to play and the ball in the possession of the Hilltoppers on the AMA eleven-yard 'line, as the of a recovered fumble. It was thought at the time that the game would be given to AMA due to the existing conditions, but Tom Howie, athletic director at the local school communicated with Paul Holstein in Lexington, referee of the game, and Howie told 'this reporter that Holstein said the game should be forfeited to the local military school. According to the official rule book, the score shall be one to nothing in favor of the offended team.

Suggests "No Game" Later, Holstein suggested that the game be declared no contest and replayed. Two of the other officials agreed to this and the other could not be located last night. Howie said In an interview after the game, that due to conditions under which the game was staged, he would play the game over on a neutral field, with college officials, and with the student bodies of both schools absent; that Is, If AMA officials would agree to same. He added that as far as he was concerned the game would be considered -no contest. He also said that if the game were to be replayed it would be probably, the first week after Thanksgiving, as his team's last game was set for that date.

Things really started getting hot in the last five minutes of the gameJAl this point it grew so dark that numbers on players' jerseys could not be read from a distance, and the Augusta mentor protested that it was too dark to play football, and that he had agreed to play daylight ball. After consultation with Howie and Officials, he agreed to keep his team on the field and play ball. Then with about two and a half minutes left to play, the whole right side of the SMA line broke through and blocked Fork-ovitch's punt and Enck pounced on the -bounding pigskin over the goal for a touchdown. Butner's placement kick for extra point split the uprights, and AMA's lead was whittled to twenty-six to twenty-one. Cannon-fire On the touchdown play a small and Proctor one.

Tech's George Warriner started the scoring early in the first period Dy passing and bucking to Fur man's one, where he crashed the line to score. Seven plays after the next kickofr, Thomas took a rev erse and swept left end for thirty yards ana a score. Late in the opening quarter "Pepper" Martin went in for Fur- man and ran back a punt to his own nine. Starting there he spark' ed a 9i-yard drive that ended with him scoring through the line from the one in the second period. Score by periods: Va.

This procedure would afford a better spirit of rivalry, and with this view we personally agree. Umpire O. L. Denton made it emphatic to the Sports Editor Oast night that he bad no right, by the rules of the game to call a score. Therefore, he refused to do so.

He said this was solely the referee's duty. But, if he had to make decision on the final score, Capt. Denton said because of the darkness prevailing toward the end of the game and other unfortunate circumstances, he would rule the game -too fontest Field Judge John Burnett said he approved of Referee Holsteln's suggested "no contest" ruling, thought the game "a mess," and gave It at his opinion that the game "should be played over." Headlinesman Paul Kivlighan could not be located last night for comment, but positions assumed Dy Referee Holstein, Umpire Denton, and Field Judge Burnett constitute a three-fourths' majority for the suggestion that yesterday's game be declared 'no contest" and played over. To this suggestion, Athletic Direc tor Thos. D- Howi.e of Staunton Military academy, last night declared his approval, explaining that under the circumstances "it was the best thing to do." No definite word as to a final position assumed by officials of Augusta Military academy could be obtained last night.

The sports editor of The Leader Papers realizes very fully that this controversy Is a matter to be decided solely by the two institutions concerned and their officials. But In the interest of good sportsmanship and of continued, sound, friendly relationships between the two academies in fields of athletic competitionall at the same time in a full realization that the most intense, rivalry exists (and should) between them we nrge that the game be played over. Once agreed upon, the game will prove ft magnificent drawing card, disagreements will be settled, and the entire matter can be more quickly and wholesomely forgot, regardless of the score. Thereupon, continued friendly relationships will result, regardless of the yearly record of victories and defeats enjoyed or suffered by the two fine military preparatory schools. Finally, the play-over game should definitely and clearly establish the superior team.

ADDRESSES TROOP NO. 2 Joseph E. Healy, superintendent of V.SD.B., made a splendid address to the deaf Boy Scout troop No. 2 Friday night at its regular meeting, just after the Troop' inventory and roll call by Robert E. Bruce, district commissioner.

The subject of Mr. Healy's talk was "National Defense" and "American Education Week." Forrest, Finney principal of the department of the deaf, was the interpreter. The Scouts took a deep interest in Mr. Healy's talk and it was said to be the best address the troop had heard. 1 .50 Haberdashery FURMAN SMOTHERED BENEATH AVALANCHE OF TOUCHDOWNS BQBBS was especially true of the west stands, where sat W.

L. adherents. It was a great but peculiar contest. One had the feeling that everybody wanted to go to war-all at, once. Yet despite the ferocity of apparent personal antagonisms, there was some mighty good football played.

The Cavaliers for the first time In several weeks clicked, their line outplaying the Generals, and their backs and forward wall coordinating their efforts with efficiency and results definitely favorable. Flashes of Power Washington and Lee showed flashes of power, especially In Quarters two and four, their lone touchdown coming in the latter period. But their attack lacked consistency. They did some brilliant tackling, too, but this also came in flashes. First downs were fairly even, Virginia amassing thirteen by out count to the Generals' eleven.

Virginia made three in Quarter one, four in the second, three in the third, and three in the final canto. The Generals made but one first down in the Initial quarter, three in the second, but one in the third, but rolled up six in the fourth. Quarters one apd three were all Virginia with the second going to the Generals, despite their three first downs to the Cavaliers' four. The fourth quarter was fairly divided. Virginia outplayed her opponents for the first half of the fourth, the Generals coming back strong in the latter half, and aided by Eddie Bryant's interference with a pass receiver, took the ball on the Cavaliers' one-yard line from where Harrison Hogan bucked it over on, his first try.

Flurry of Passes Yesterday's game was featured by a flurry of passes by both teams. Virginia attempted sixteen, completing six, while Washington and Lee tried twenty, completing seven. Five of the Generals' nine attempts in the final quarter were made good, and these five were by far the majority of the seven to tal the boys from Lexington com pleted. Various penalties marred the game, most of them coming when they really hurt somebody's chances, One penalty practically gave the Generals a touchdown, and another meant a score for the Cavaliers, Two of the penalties against the Generals were for fifteen yards each; two others were for inter ferlng with pass receivers. Virginia drew two fifteen-yard penalties, one for roughing the kicker, and an other for interference with the pass reception.

Two other five-yard penalties were imposed upon the Generals, and one five-yard penalty went against the Cavaliers. While the first quarter was some what of a punting duel, there were few thereafter. The Cavaliers punted three times in the first quarter, the Generals six; each booted once in the second; Virginia punted twice in the third quarter, and the Generals four times; each team booted once in the final peri od. Most of Virginia's punts In the first quarter were short, necessarily so because of close proximity to the W. and L.

goal, and Bill Dudley constantly aimed for the coffin corners. Usually, on th other hand, the Generals kicked when they had to get out of danger and trouble, and most of Preston Brown's punts were for appreciable distances. However, when Virginia needed distance on punts, Bill Dudley generally came through. The game was really a battle of lines, with an edge, a very good edge to the Cavaliers. Both teams suffered from several injuries to regulars in the forward wall, although most of these boys got into the game for a few moments from time to time.

Several backs had a great day. Virginia's Eddie Bryant, Bill Dudley, Leroy Neustedter, Ross Craig, Mosby Cardozo, Don Niklason, all played brilliant ball, especially Bryant and Dudley. On defense, Ray Murden, Ross Craig, Ervin Dickey, Bill Mirman, Captain Lee McLaughlin, Dan Oehmlg, John Sauerbeck, and Nick Gianakos all put up beautiful games, PaUgher "Towers" For the Generals, Joe Baugher was head and shoulders above his associates. He was a power on defense, amassing most of the Generals' ground yardage, and usually was tossing successful passes. Dick Pinck, Harrison Hogan, Bobby Pinck, Howard Dobbins, John Rule-vich, Bill Grey, Steve Hanasik, and Paul Skillman all played exceptionally fine offensive and defensive games.

The game was "plenty rough," several players having to leave the contest because of injuries. Governor Price, members of the general assembly, and other state "officials gathered for a day's program in their honor, saw Virginia's Bill Dudley turn the tide with a spectacular 39-yard scoring dash In a contest which packed plenty of fire. After a scoreless first period offensively highlighted by a Virginia gesture to the Washington and Lee's nine, the Cavaliers pieced together a 64-yard touchdown march In the second which was climaxed A 20-13 IN THE RAIN Louis, Nov. 9. Virginia Military institute's football team overcame the harassment of Washington university's aerial offense tody to take a 20-13 decision in the rain.

Wilson (Bud) Schwenk, Washington's all-Missouri valey conference back, threw twenty-one passes and completed ten for a total gain bf 227 yards. But Joe Muha, who scored two touchdowns, Jim Shelby and the other VMI backs traveled even better through the Bears' battered line. Muha's tallies came in the second period when the Cadets drove sixty-two yards and fifty-seven yards, punching big holes in the Washington defense. Shelby and Jim Matthews carried most of the way to the first tally, Muha re-entering the game to go the last four yards. He bore the brunt of the second march.

VMI's clincher came in the third period on a 59-yard procession after Muha intercepted a pass. Shelby ate up twenty-three yards on one try and went the last sixteen yards untouched for the score. Nelson Catlett made good on the last two placekicks for extra points. Schwenk's passes were the only thing that kept Washington in the ball game. The Bears found the Cadets' heavy line much too tough.

Schwenk passed to Wallace McLean, reserve end, for one tally and scored the other himself from the one-yard line after two of his com pleted passes netted eighty-nine yards. Lineups and summary: Pos. V. M. Washington LE Sexton Devine LT -Ellington SDafford LO-W.

The Generals, crippled by the loss of Captain Jack Mangan, center, and Junie Bishop, ace blocking back, out with injuries, came charging back after Virginia's final touchdown, moving seventy-nine yards for their only score. Pass interference was called on Bryant in the end zone, moving the ball to the Virginia one, where Harrison Hogan plunged over.
