SMITH Lexington, Sept. advantage of scoring opportunities obtained by superior punting, Virginia Military Institute's Flying Squadron tore through the University of Richmond line here today for a 22 to 0 victory. The center of the Spider line proved unable to withstand the Cadet attack at crucial stages and the fast stepping V. M. I.

backs raced through guard and tackle to push over three touchdowns. The game was devoid of thrills, Richmond never was within scoring distance of the V. M. I. goal.

The Cadets confined their tactics largely to straight thrusts at the Spider line, employing off tackle plays with telling effect. Few long gains were recorded and the spectators had to be content with a beautiful exhibition of punting by Ab Barnes, Roanoke bor, and a futile effort o11 the part of the Spiders to organize an effective overhead attack. Only Threat. Richmond's only threat was the forward pass. The charging Cadet wards and an alert set of backs succeded in effectively spiking this weapon of the visitors.

Although the Spiders completed a number of forward heaves the man on the receiving end was almost always downed in his tracks and all gains were short. Hill, visiting quarterback, displayed expert passing ability despite the fact that he was usually hurried by the V. M. I. linemen, who sifted through the Richmond front wall apparently with little difficulty.

In several instances the Richmonders lost opportunities to record substantial gains via the pass route when the receiver let the pigskin slip through his fingers. Many times, however, the passes failed because Barnes, Nabers, or Harner, of the Cadet backfield, were on hand to knock them to earth. The game was played in Richmond's end of the playing field. Only twice did the Spiders have the bal in their own possession beyond midfield. In the opening quarter they displayed their only impressive offense of the day and advanced V.

Captain Dick Grey then kicked a 26-yard field goal for Davidson's first three points. In the third period Davidson again started toward the Citadel goal line, with Nisbet furnishing most of the driving power, with the ball on their 1-yard line the plucky Citadel linemen held the Davidson backs on the fourth down and the ball went over. When Citadel attempted to punt the ball out of danger, Jim Grey plunged through the line and blocked the kick, which was recovered by a Davidson player back of the safety zone. Charlie Harrison, diminutive Davidson and Nisbet were easily Davidson's outstandIng players. Blanding and Duvall looked best for the Citadel.

The two teams looked evenly matched, Davidson showing slightly more driving power.

Captain Kimbrough, of the Tigers, and two sensational new Sewanee finds, Esdorn, at end, and Tolley, at half, took honors, while Frazier, of the losers, led the charge which broke through the Tigers' third team in the final quarter for Transylvania's only score.

a weaker team that they defeated 35 to 0 last year the Washington and Lee Generals ran up a score of 26 to 2 against the Lynchburg College Hornets here today on Wilson Field for their first match of the season. Pat Herron's backfield played weak, sluggish football for the most part, against 8 team that had no offense to speak of and a line that held doggedly with the ball deep in their own territory and gave way quickly to the Washington and Lee interference in midfield. The Lexington eleven made eighteen first downs during the four twelve-minute quarters, while the Lynchburg machine made but two, both early in the opening period. Bore Brunt Of Work. White and Lott, of the Washington and Lee team, and Grant, of the Hornet backfield, bore the brunt of the work in the early part of the game, while Stearns, blue and white quarterback.

and Spotts, right end, took their share of the honors later on. "Clem" Sydnor, right halfback for the burg team, was one of the most consistent gainers in the line drive plays of the Hornets, while his twin, Rayne, did excellent defensive work. Lynchburg got in her best work early In the game, taking 25 yards of the blue and white territory in the second play of the afternoon when Rardin recelved a pass from Grant. When the Washington and Lee team got the ball they took game into the air for a period, until White carried the pigskin over the line for the first score after a pretty pass from Lott to Spotts that gained twenty yards for blue and white. Lott drop-kicked the goal.

The passing of Lynchburg eleven was weak throughout, the ball going high and, with the exception of their first pass, covering but little ground. Rardin Blocked Punt. The Hornets made their lone score of two points almost immediately after the opening Washington and Lee score, when Rardin blocked a punt and Lott recovered it after 8 scramble that ended behind Washington and Lee's goal line. The quarter ended with the ball in Washington and Lee's possession on Lynchburg's 32-yard line, the score standing 7 to 2, after a series of line drives by White, who had plenty of holes made in the red line for him, but who was tenaciously downed by the Lynchburg backs. The second half, after the kick, opened with one through left tackle by White and a 35-yard punt by Lott.

GIANTS NOW ONLY GAME AND A HALF BEHIND CORSAIRS Hits By Hornsby and Terry Put Game on Ice in Ninth Inning PAUL. WANER WEAK IN FIELD AND AT BAT Cards Defeat Braves and Move to Within Two Games of Corsairs Pittsburgh, Sept.

24 (P) -Carrying on in face of seemingly unsurmountable odds, the New York Giants installed themselves into the thick of the National League championship race today a game and one-half from first place by defeating the leading Pirates by three to one before 35,000 fans. It was the closing fray of the Giants' western trip and considered aS one of the most crucial for a slip by New York would have relegated the club's hopes of a pennant to the remotest figure. The victory gave the Giants three out of four in the series and an even break with the Bushmen for the season at eleven apiece. Barnes in Form. Virgil Barnes started for New York and allowed only four hits in seven innings when he gave way to a pinch hitter.

Fred Fitzsimmons, who had downed the Corsairs 7 to 1 on Thursday, pitched the last two stanzas, allowing hit and received credit for the triumph. Lee Meadows, out to chalk up his twentieth decision, was thumped for eight hits by the McGrawmen. He was responsible for the only tally of the Bucaneers however. Grantham singled to open the fifth, advanced to third 011 two outs and scored on Meadows' single. Meadows was breezing along nicely until the eighth when after Harper walked, two scratch hits were made by Pinch hitters Ott and Reese, filling the bags with none out.

Mueller forced Harper at the plate, and Mann, who ran for Ott, scored with the tying run on Lindstrom's sacrifice fly to Paul Waner. Hornsby Started Trouble. The ninth started Hornsby smashing a hot single through and scoring on Terry's triple to right field. Terry's drive was an ordinary single but Paul played the ball badly, coming in too far for it and it scooted through him to the stands. Terry crossed the plate a moment later on a long sacrifice fly Jackson.

In four times at bat, Paul Waner failed to get a hit off Barnes or Fitzsimmons, marking the only one of 22 games with the Giants this year 111 which he failed to get at least a single.

The Tar Heels outgained and outplayed the visitors, but a costly fumble by Jenkins, substitute back, that Cox, brilliant halfback scooped up and outran the whole team for 58 yards and a touchdown gave them the advantage.

CATHOLIC DOWNS INDIANS, 12 TO 0 Record-Breaking Crowd of 6,000 Attends Night Football Game FOLEY IS BRIGHT STAR William and Mary Never Able to Maintain a Sus.

tained Drive Williamsburg, Sept. 24 (P) -Invading Williamsburg in the first night football game ever played in Virginia Catholic University of Washington, defeated the college William and Mary tonight 12 to 0 by a record-breaking crowd of 6,000 in the stadium. Foley Unstoppable. Foley, quarterback of Catholic University, proved to be the individual star of the game, his sensational and passing accounting for a large portion of the ground gained his teammates. William and Mary was never Dry able to maintain a sustained drive, althought flashing occasional brilliance.

Each team employed the huddle system with the warriors from Washington profiting most from its use. Catholic Untversity tallied in the first quarter when Foley hurled the oval to Long who caught it over the goal line. Foley missed the kick for the extra point. The way paved by a bad pass from the William and Mary center in the second quarter, Catholic University got the ball on the Indians ten line to have Harvey crash through right tackle for a touchdown. A long pass to Foley failed to give the single point.

The field was Illuminated by lights aggregating 40,000 candlepower, with 10 huge projectors on each side of the gridiron supplemented by 12 small ones tot throw light upward. The lights bathed the field in a flood of brilliance, with the spectators placed in comparative twilight. Owing to rain during the day, the field was a bit wet and the pigskin looked as it had been visited by a heavy dew. Playing Feasible. the game Coach McAullffe of Catholic University, who was captain of Dartmouth said that playing under such conditions was feasible, although he think it would become general.

In his opinion night playing would afford an excellent medium for practice work with occasional use for match games. He said that the chief disadvantage entailed by playing under artificial light was lessened capacity to judge distance, a situation that would lead to close formation play on the part of the participating elevens. He also expressed the opinion that the Continued on Page 3. SANDS POINT POLO FOUR BESTS ARMY Westbury, N. Sept.

Millsaps flashed a brilliant passing attack in the third quarter but was forced to give up the ball on the Alabama three yard line. Brasfield, with an 80 yard broken field ran for touchdown, and Taylor's 45 yard dash recovering a fumble, were outstanding in the Crimson Tide offensive. Alabama made 14 first downs and Millsaps registered one.

In that instance. Franklin and Marshall held the strong University of Pennsylvanta vleven to an 8 to 0 victory.

PUSH OVER TWO COUNTERS IN FINAL PERIOD OF THE CONTEST Lutherans Put Up Scrappy Battle for First Three Periods and Hold Gobblers to 7 to 2 Score -Peake, Mattox and Looney Bore Brunt of Tech March for Touchdowns.

ROANOKE'S PASSING GAME STRONG By ROBERT McKEE Blacksburg, Sept. ripping offensive that would not be denied and somewhat more than a shade of advantage in weight and experience enabled V. P. I. to defeat Raonoke College 21 to 2 in the opening game of the season here this afternoon.

It was the kind of contest calculated to produce clearly defined roles for each team. Roanoke for the most part was on the defensive against the darting thrusts of the "'Three Grenadiers," Peake, Mattox and Looney. The Gobblers almost from the first whistle were a constant threat in Maroon territory. Tech's three touchdowns were evenly divided among Peake, Rule and Looney, Nicely timed dashes around end, ability of linesmen to "throw open the gates" of the defensive line and several runs of from 15 to 30 yards piled up winning yardage for the Techmen. Roanoke, with the lighter line and men both in the line and backfield receiving their baptism of varsity fire, played a conservative, but driving game that at times touched upon brilliance.

It was the test to give the coaches what they wanted to know on "Who's Who" in a squad that until today had been classified largely as unknown quantities. LIONBERGER It was Lionberger, a Roanoke boy, who yesterday accounted for Roanoke's two points in the game with V. P. I. He tackled a Tech back who had just recovered a wild pass over the goal line.

Daley, Murphy, Connors, Leary and Drais made the touchdowns. Starred for Roanoke Dietrich, at full, Wilson at tackle, Ramsey at half and Gilbert at quarter delighted their mentors by doing the right thing at the right time. Lionberger, who attracted considerable attention in the spring workouts, measured up today. He accounted for Roanoke's two points by nabbing Peake for a safety back of the Tech goal in the second quarter after a faulty pass had been recovered by the rangy Rule also stirred up lots of dust. back.

The heat was forgotten in the latter part of the second quarter and football bordering on the sensational was unleashed by both teams. Rule cut loose with three or four dazzling runs, trimming off the corners of space 30 yards in one, eight in another and four in another. Few Innovations There were few if any worthwhile innovations to the game as standardized by rules of other years. The huddie, shifts and lateral passes were not uncovered. Tech essayed a triple pass once or twice.

It worked well behind the line but the results did not register anything to write home about. Both teams completed several passes for gains of from 8 to 18 yards and exhibited more than the ordinary earlyseason proficiency in Lindy's realm. Long passes worked more satisfactorily than the short screened ones. Roanoke received at the kickoff and Ramsey ran the ball back to the Maroons' 40 yard line. A pass, Dietrich to Wilson, netted eight yards and A fumble, a play or two later, proved' a snag to a promising start.

But Tech was not permitted to keep the ball long; Gilbert intercepted a pass on his 30 yard line. The Maroons then ran into a stone wall. The Gobbler line could not be dented and punted to Techdom. Peake tucked the ball in the curve of his arm and belted the center of the Roanoke line, it yielded, and he chalked up 15 yards, Mattox added three yards off tackle and another four an instant later around the flank. Peake reeled off 18 in a beautiful spring end.

Things were moving along quite satisfactorily for the Gobblers. The linesmen were racing to keep apace of first downs. Fray Recovers An instant later Mattox fumbled recovered the ball. Ramsey immediately punted it out of danger. was grounded on Tech's 43 yard line.

The Gobblers ran up two more first downs in the frame chiefly by renson of a yard penalty to Roanoke, gains through the line by Mattox and Looney and a pass, Mattox to Peake, Looney on another play streaked around end for 15 yards when he fell. His body seemed to be moving faster than his feet. Another line plunge or two put the ball on Roanoke's 10 yard line. Peake was nailed for a loss when Roanoke linesmen swept through to smash the play. Looney charged through center for five yards, Mattox was brought down on the line of scrimmage, nO gain, and then Looney conducted little probe at center, He whirled through and produced the first touchdown of the game.

Peake kicked goal. Another brief exchange in the center of the field, during which Ramsey turned in a run of 13 yards and pass from Dietrich to Lionbergex added 10 more, the period ended. Roanoke's two points were trotted out early in the second period. Ramsey punted to Tech's 30 yard line. A pass to Peake went astray and bounded toward the goal line.

Six or reven men lunged after it. Peake recovered the ball but before he could get started he was tackled by Lionberger. Pass Successful. Peake punted to Lionberger on V. P.
