Section Section II Richmond Virginia Sunday September 26 1937 Defeat Spiders 6-0 Keydets Win Nebraska Upsets Minnesota Cavaliers Are Beaten Comhuskers DownGopher Team 14-9 Fumbles Costly To Losing LINCOLN NEB dream ol marching to its fourth successive mythical national football championship exploded in an upset yesterday thal rocked the girdtron world In Sunbaked Memorial Stadium before a sell-out crowd of 36003 frenized spectators Nebraska conquered the mighty Gophers hitherto defeated only once in three years 14 to 9 The result left the spectators sweltering In midsummer heat stunned and bewildered sj they watched Minnesota ground into defeat after losing only one in its 33-game girdiron paradr that started in 1932 The one blot on Minnesota's record was triumph In the mud and rain last year There were certain factors In favor of the inspired Comhuskers yesterday The first was that Major Lawrence Jones making his debut as a Nebraska coach had darxl to win It was a gamble against what appeared to be overwhelming odds It remarkable that Coach Jones has not lost an opening game at anv of the four institutions he has coached Tumbles Costly Then there were two costly Minnesota f- ibles which Nebraska quickly converted into touchdown maneuvers Minnesota made more first downs gained more yards attempted and completed more passes and yet was able to score only nine points chiefly because the Huskers played an 'astonishing defensive game with a line of seven veterans charging and blocking brilliantly The iame an uproarious conquest for the Huskers was not without its tragedy Eldon Mc-Fravy a 20-year-old sophomore fullback from Tecumaeh Neb was in serious condition last night suffering from brain concussion and possible 'skull fracture as a result of a terrific pileup of players in the third period Rudy Gmitro Minnesota halfback was carried off th: field at the same time suffering from what was first believed to be- a broken back Later however the Injury was found not serious After Minnesota scored on the first nine plays of the game and In less than five minutes of play It appeared the Gophers were off on another touchdown marcX Andy Uram fleet Gopher halfback who beat Nebraska a year ago with a 70-yard gallop in the last 60 seconds of play had tossed a 15-yard pass to Vic Spaddacclnl who snared the ball in the end zone for a touchdown uramMs Continued on Page

Peru to Lexington Va but pudgy and powerful young man by name of Howard made It In one Jump yesterday afternoon as he plunged and punted Washington and Generals to a 6-0 vic- tory over University of Spiders In the first 1937 defense of their State title at Wilson field before a near capacity crowd of 4500 Mr first name whicn Is the somewhat bookish handle of Morton smack of Peru -vlan but he really can smack i line with that football And ha can smack It with his toe when the occasion demands The' Genenls won thanks to punting and running over a hard-fighting Richmond team which surprised even its most arden adherents by putting up a stubborn defense for three quarters of the game after grudgingly conceding the Generals their lone score fh the first This lncl-dentally came with the aid of a pass interference penalty which gave 6c the ball on the Spiders four-yard line from where Howard graciously conde scended to buck It across the all-important double stripe Five-Man Line The Spiders operating from behind a five-man line presented a puzzling pattern to the running game all afternoon This defensive setup used for the first time by Glenn Thistlethwalte apparently caught the Oenerals by surprise for their offense both ground and lr did not make the expected Inroads against a Spider forewall that was supposed to be shattered by Injuries and in eligibility Although outrushed and out-flrst downed considerably the defense was airtight ex' ceptlng that first-quarter plunge by Howard With the sophomore center Ed Merrick and the veteran back Len JKlelplnskl again distinguishing themselves In the backer up roles and Forrest Norvell the guard dropping out of the line to help them this defense also wrought havoc with Washing and Lee's famed passing attack from Ray Craft to the towering ends Borrles and Spessard The General passers were rushed all afternoon with the result that many aerial bombs fell Incomplete or were batted down llosklns Flashes On the other hand the Spiders were unable to make any appre ciably headway against the rugged Oeneral line outside of occasional flashes by Stukle Hoskins the sophomore from Frederlckssburg who reeled off the longest Rich xnond gains one of 27 yards on a 'fun and hooked up on a 30-yard pass late In the game While their defense was superb an unfortunate tendency to fumble kept the Richmond offensive from getting underway Several times the Spiders got possession of the ball In strategic positions but always butterfingered handling of the oval particularly on kicks marred their chances This explains to some extent why they made only two first downs to the 10 and were out-rushed 141 yards to 54 Withal however It was a good even battle for most of the way and the gains for the most part were held within the 20-yard markers The Richmond -defense was a surprise not only to the Generals but to Richmond followers who have rated the offense far ahead of it all season It was Just the reverse today The defense was good enough for the occasion but the offense What our boys seem to need most Is a barrel of one disconsolate Spider supporter remarked as he walked off the field Of all the fine backs Howard was the only one iwho could dent the stern Spider Continued on Pagel Column 4 SO'CIETY PARADES AT FARMINGTON COUNTRY CLUB Mrs Franklin Roosevelt Jr (lower left) lunches
