the William and Mary contingent yielded a brace of touchdowns to the Gobblers both via the airlanes but when Dick Goodman was tossing today even the best of defensive patterns would have been tested

run back a Justice punt 88 yards for the second Georgia score Maricich who once upon a time was looked upon as a successor to Charlie THppi took a handoff from Ken McCall and was at midfield before the Carolina defender realized what had and what was happening: This was a game of sudden unpredictable turns first touchdown produced on an eight-yard pass from Justice to Weiner came with five seconds of the first half remaining Justice ran 13 yards for score Na 2 to climax a drive which started following the second-half kickoff Egbert Williams a sophomore tackle from Stedman converted

the third period on the first play from scrimmage following a Justice punt Walston a Junior from Columbus Ohio converted following each Georgia score Through most of the first half the game was a
