powerful Navy team 9 to 7 yesterday achieving a dramatic victory in the last few minutes of the game to thrill 45000 spectators Hopelessly beaten for three periods the Irish fought with furious savagery in the fourth period to smash the powerful Navy line and triumph Key dels Led by Shu Score Two Touchdowns In Opening Quarter IS Jimmy Jonen Times-Dispatch Sports Editor CHARLOTTESVILLE The tri-color of Virginia Military Institute waved proudly ovrr the ramparts in the twilight of Homecoming Day game at Scott Stadium as the strains of the last alumni quartet died in the distance For Pooley Hubert's red white and yellow machine taking advantage of every break and operating behind smooth blocking had rolled up another Old Dominion victory to add to its rapidly mounting string defeating the courageous but outclassed Cavaliers of Frank Murray by the score of 26 to 7 A colorful crowd of 10000 largest at Charlottesville since the dedication of Scott Stadium in 1931 watched I smash to victory on a muddy field The Keydets ld by- Sophomore Paul Shu stepped quickly to the fore and held a 13-0 lead at the end of the first period Virginia rame back with its best exhibition in the second period to score just before the half ended and kick the extra point But the Virginia touchdown seemed to pull the boys from Lexington out of their lethargy and they rame bark after the intermission pile on two more touchdowns and add an extra point before the firing had ceased I tallied twire in the first period and twice in the third In scoring its third victory within the Old Dominion's borders since the season started Just as he unveiled Dark Horse Andy Trzeciak in Richmond last Saturday Coach Hubert turned loose another fleet ball carrier yesterday to vie with Paul Shu and the others for ground gaining honors Tills time it was Bill Roberson of Lynchburg who lammed back hard on punts all afternoon over the slippery turf and added a lot of spark to the Keydets' attack But Just as was the case last Saturday against Richmond It was Shu tl-9 hard-running sophomore who fired the first gun in the offensive The big crowd In gay and festive mood was hardly settled down before Mr Shu who sounds like one of those Chinese generals but is different in that he gains ground instead of losing It came tearing around his own right end behind good blocking for 27 yards and the first I touchdown He missed the try for point but the Keydets were off This play however came after Virginia had thrown something of a scare into the ranks of the military lads by making a menacing gesture Following the kickoff which Virginia received Sharretts sliced a nice kick out of bounds on the I 15 Trzeciak punted back to the Virginia 38 and Jim Gillette returned to the I 38 Little Bus Male picked up three yards on a fake and then tossed a flat pass to Gillette who ran 25 yards to a first down on the 10 Four Tries Fail The Cavaliers however decided to stick to the air game and the result was that Todd an end passed over the goal line on fourth down Incomplete giving the ball on its 20 without gaining a foot On the first play from there Roberson clicked off 27 yards on a sprint around his left end Shu was stopped for no gain Kovar got four at tackle and then Trzeciak punted over Virginia's goal line in an effort to plant one in coffin corner Sharretts Immediately kicked back and Roberson receiving on his 40 returned to midfield In exactly two plays I had scored Bud Kovar went off right tackle on a reverse for 22 and a first down on the Virginia 27 and Shu carried it the remaining distance off tackle for the score The Keydets tallied again in short order when Ray Taylor of Ashland their aggressive right end rushed through and blocked one of Sharretts' kicks and recovered back of the goal line for a touchdown This time Suh kicked the goal and the Keydets led 13-0 Stung by this sudden and riot-out trend of the game the Cavaliers rame back in the second quarter with a spirited counter-offensive Their tackling picked up and they began spilling Shu and some of the other boys for losses exchanges of punts including a couple of quick kicks by Shu and Male Virginia got the ball on the I 46 With two minutes left in the half the Cavaliers went to the air with vpnseance a short toss Dinwiddle to Gillette was good for five yards placing the ball on the 41 Then Dinwiddie faded back and heaved a diagonal floater to Woody George the end who made a beautiful catch near the side lines cut behind the safety man and legged it tobs the goal line on one of the prettiest plays of the day The pw carried 19 yards and George ran 22 for the score Gillette kicked the point from placement and the score stood 13-7 as the half ended shortly thereafter "Hobby

ablebodied spectators rushed on the field when the game was over and carried the Gobblers from the field They carried them to the dressina room where all the pent up emotions which had been controlled for the sake of victory on the field broke loose in a bedlam of noise and happiness Sophomore Phil DeMuro the and Mel Henry were the offensive stars for I But in the line and the gallant charges and play of Frank Pierre and Lloyd Doxey at end and Ruffner Murray center and Blackwell (Junior) Davis and Leo Vecellio the tackles was where the real story of victory was told No Gaining There For in the crude and bruising way of linesmen they swarmed over the Generals spoiled their dignity and took the victory out of the Blue and White grasp The only score of the Generals is indicative of the only method and could make headway with the Gobblers They tried the line with resounding failure and once late in the third quarter the heroic efforts of the Techmen up front stepped what looked like a sure General score The threat came immediately after Tech's last tally and took tne ball after the kick-off on their own 33 and marched to the Gobbler four Raymond Craft opened the strategy of the Generals with a flashy dash from his own 38 to the Gobblers 36 around his own left end On the next play the same Craft rifled one to Biroie Harper on the Tech 14 and the wide-open end went to the six Two plunges by Merton (Chubby) Howard gained two yards one each try and the reverse taken by Jim Humphrey got nothing as the Maroon and Orange forewall swarmed in Craft's fourth-down pass fell

consequence Both touchdowns came to Maryland by air In the first few minutes of the second quarter Charlie Weldinger ace passer and quarterback tossed a 30-yard aerial to big Jim Meade who raced over the goal untouched After outplaying the Orange during the third period and most of the fourth Maryland's Frank Skotnicki broke up a desperate Syracuse passing barrage by hauling down a heave from Glickman and pounding 40 yards Inside the sidelines for the second rally Wild Syracuse efforts to score in the waning minutes were halted by another interception and the Orange men thereafter were out
