which to date has run roughshod over all opponents Ability to defeat Lehigh Carnegie Tech and Georg a Tech and to outplay Harvard for major portion of their game stamps the Pennsylvanians as a combination of far mote than ordinary power The Navy has no such defensive record notwithstanding the defeat of Princeton but it will present a defense which in all probabilities is stronger and more

Virginia Tech this afternoon in the annual classic between the two schools came from behind with seeming defeat staring them in the fart to nose out a 7 to 3 victory More than 8000 fans equally divided in their support of the two teams witnessed the battle It was one of the most desperate closely fought games ever staged by the two colleges ancient rivals and from start to finish the outcome was in doubt Hopelessly the two elevens struggled through the first half without scoring The ball was almost continuously in midfield and both teams were repeatedly forced to resort to punting to get the pigskin out of the danger zones In he third quarter superior punting gave the ball to Carolina on the Tech 30 yard line when Faucette with Whitaker holding the oval negotiated a pretty field goal as has been seen on the loeal gridiron in many seasons Led by the State band probably 1000 rooters cheered for State Pandemonium reigned on the Carolina side of the field They were particularly elated because Tech punters twice tried to negotiate a field goal and failed In the final quarter with fresh men in the line-up Tech staged a wonderful drke down the field after securing the ball on State fumble in midfield registering three first downs by completing four forward passes These coupled with line plunging put the hall on 10 yard line From this point from a fake forward pass formation that
