than overwhelming it was more than enough to defeat William and Mary A Cary Field crowd estimated at 700 saw VMI which hardly preferred the aerial route through its first six games throw 41 times complete two for and win 26-6 It was quite a reversal of form for the Keydets who had thrown only 101 times (completed 41) for an average of 738 yards coming Into this one But John McKenna the VMI coach announced the early part of the week the time had come for some drastic measures to reject a non-winning streak at and Sat- unlay the Keydets projected their new look into disastrous efficiency The first two VMI touchdowns came via the passing route The third was se tup by a key fourth-down reception for 21 yards by Joe Bush Only the fourth ID strike had that completely overland look Fourth

game -State waited for Virginia to kick and it was a system which hardly could be faulted All of the Pack points were set up by Cavalier punting situations There was a second quarter block of a Tom Shuman punt gave State a safety after the Cavaliers had taken a 7-0 first quarter lead Thera waa a third quarter Mode of a Shuman punt which led to the touchdown which put State ahead at 9-7 Than waa a high snap from center which prevented a Shuman punt and that put the Pack in position to aeon an early fourth quarter TD Yet after having all this befall It Virginia found Itself with an opportunity to pull off a win that would have been the upset of the ACC season because ironically of a breakdown in the State kicking game The fourth quarter wu 4:21 old when Dave Houtz State's premier punter funbled a snap-back in the end xone and wu overwhelmed by quartet of Cavalier linemen for a safety That made it 15-9 and now State had to kick off into the teeth of a Junior grade hurricane and there

quarterback made his first performance there a Caesarian performance Schwelckert came saw and conquered Not In many a long year has a player run at City Stadium as Schwelckert ran against Richmond The Tech quarterback on his quarterback sprint-out plays swizzled yardage in huge gulps winding up the afternoon with a total of 282 yards against the Richmond defenses Schwelckert had 204 yards rushing and 78 yards passing And he should have had many more yards passing for Tech receivers dropped at least four on-target passes two of which had' "touchdown" written all over the ball With Schwelckert and fine fullback 208-pound Sonny Utz who gained 122 yards In 27 carries accounting for 414 yards between them Tech had a massive statistical margin over the Spiders But the Spiders had a right fair runner going for them too Junior halfback Kenny Stoudt Moreover the Spiders refused to panic as Schwelckert tore up and down the field So despite dominating the contest statistically the game wound up 14-13 favor Tech but only after Richmond following its second touchdown at 11:58 In the fourth quarter failed on an attempted two-point conversion It was a ball game that had more quick turns than a
