Under gray skies the Wildcats took command from the opening kickoff and never let up their hammering to spoil the homecoming of Villanova old grad John McKenna the VMI coach for the second straight year By Channcey Durden Times-Dispatch Sporti Editor WILLIAMSBURG Sept- 22 The University of Virginia's Cavaliers starting their second season under Bill coach-ship were rocked back on their collective feet by William and Mary's Indians on the opening kickoff Saturday but came from behind to cut down the Indians with a methodical and at times relentless attack Hie game was only a little more than a minute old when Charlie Weaver 165-Ixiund junior back took a handoff from quarterback Dan Henning and scampered 10 yards around left end for a touchdown which with Steve Bishop's extra-point kick gave the Tribe a 7-0 lead Indians Move Again Later in the first quarter as the Indians mounted an attack which carried them from their 16 to Virginia's 28' the Virginia supporters among the Cary Field crowd of 12000 began wondering if the Indians were going to pull off their second straight upset of the young season But once the big confident Cavaliers began moving it was all Virginia The Cavaliers scored two touchdowns in the second quarter to take a 12-7 lead off the field at the half and added a third touchdown in third period for a 19-7 victory Virginia lacking a sharp edge but big and powerful and determined beat down the Indians in the line Defensively Elias had little fault to find with his squad The Cavalier forewall with tackles Dave Graham and Dick Myers the anchors yielded yardage grudgingly The Virginia forwards rushed the passers Dan Henning and Dan Armour with such intensity that the air game was all but nullified Five Interceptions As a result of the pressure on the Indian passers the Cavaliers looked strong on pass defense which was Virginia's weakest spot last season William and Mary completed only eight of 20 passes attempted and Virginia intercepted five passes William and Mary's 5-2-4 defense posed a problem for Virginia's running game for more than a quarter but that problem was solved when quarterback Carl Kuhn led the second unit on a 49-yard scoring drive for the second touchdown On that drive Kuhn ran the ball four of the seven plays required for the touchdown Those four runs by Kuhn including his 12-yard touchdown dash accounted for 39 of the 49 yards covered Kuhn was running "bootleg" plays to his left with guards Duane Bickers and Len Hrica pulling out to block Hrica who played center on last freshman team cleared

game in three years the senior halfback has decided for VPI -The big touchdown play came out of seldom Used bag of tricks and the Gobblers were probably as surprised as the 8000 spectators at the way it turned out Quarterback Lacy Edwards handed off to halfback Tommy Walker who handed it back to him Edwards then fired at end Kyle Albright whose leap at his passing wares because of the hard-charging VPI forwards made it into the end zone on his second try: Corbin booted to put the underdog Colonial ahead 14-0 The lead didn't last long The Gobblers hauled out their three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust machinery put it in gear and scored moving 37 yards in 12 plays A fine kickoff return by Sonny Utz good for 54 yards put the Gobblers in position Most of the yardage picked up by Tommy Walker came over left side where Albright end tackle Dave Green did some great double-team blocking: But the TD came on a charge over the VPI left guard by Gerald Bobbitte on a

right corner of the end zone That tied the score at 14-14 Then Sizemore saw his duty and did it just as he'd beaten Virginia Military 13-12 in 1960 and Florida State 10-7 with a field goal in 1961 The TD came with 30 seconds left in the first half and wrapped up the scoring The Colonials scored their two IDs first hitting pay dirt in the opening quarter Then Tech got its two in the second After
