alternated with for to' Jr Joyce 7 By Paul Ferris Sports Editor BAIN FIELD NORFOLK Oct The defense predominated here today as William and Mary although out gained by the margin of twelve Aral downs to five held Washington and Improved eleven to a scorelesa deadlock The mult marked the second occasion of the season on which the scrappy Indians tied a member of the Stales "big four" Led by Crawford Syer who was out of the game because of a death In his family Coach I tribe tarried on against a flashy and running attack despite the ab aence of "Butch" Constantino who was declared Ineligible two hours before the game because of a Southern Conference ruling which prohibits a player from competing tar four years Constantino played on the and varsity his freshman year before the Virginia Conference adopted the freehmsn rule Calarful Crowd Reea flash A colorful and enthusiastic crowd of 1000 spectators watched the first contest between the two machines The fans saw two sturdy marhtnes fairly well matched but with defenses that rhecked every scoring threat The running attack of the Generals was directly responsible for their me-Jorit yof first downs passes falling to rlfrk on every Important occasion The Indian gains came from short losses and the clever running of Bill Paleae Punting for both teams was bote average Prank Bailey having possibly a shade the brtier of the argument with 8yrr Bill Chalks and "Happy" Halligan who divided the assignment for William and Mary Paleae was the outstanding back for the Indians while Monk Mattox with his spinners and reverses and Bailey with hts line smashes starred for the Generals Practically the entire lines of both teems were effective in emergencies giving ground mainly when deceived by trick formations The only sustained drive of the conflict came In the opening period when Jimmy DeHart's Oenerals went down the field on five consecutive first downs to the Indian twelve-yard marker Here however the attack stalled and HeUlgsn booted out of danger Paleae Klara for Indiana The Indians provided the only tong gains In the encounter Paleae bring on the carrying rad of the play each time In the second period he took a lateral pasa from Chaika for twenty-two yards while In the last period he took a pas behind the line of scrimmage for a 33-yard advance and scurried around right rad for twenty-five yiiirds on a fake reverse Palrse also presented the most sensational play of the strife when he made ten yards after reversing his field on an rad run and taking a chance of being thrown for a toss of perhaps twenty yards Both colleges were rr prevented by smart bands and appreciable rooting sections In fact the only Incident to mar the serenity of the entire afternoon came between the halves when your observer was tossed In front of a microphone and ordered to explain matters to the great unseen audience Praise Allah no one In Richmond was Ukrlv to have been tuned in The statistics of the game show that the Generals gained 173 yards on running plays to 81 for the Indians The latter howrver made a better average gain for each effort they having possession of the ball much more infrequently than Washington and Lee The Generals ear-tied the oval from scrimmage sixty seven times for en average gain of 33 yards the Indians twenty-seven time ter at average of an even three yards William and Mary was far superior in the passing department netting stxty-nlne yards on four complete tosses while having ten incomplete The Oenerals gained only thirteen yards on five completed passes had four Incomplete and three
