of the game the Army neverthe less carried on under the leadership of Cagle star left halfback who contributed largely to the West Point victory The aerial attack which Harvard had perfected especially for use against the Cadets collapsed completely and of 11 forward passes which the Crimson at tempted not one was completed Sev eral on the other hand were Inter cepted by Army players The air offensive proved far more successful with six forward passes completed out of 10 attempted The Army outplayed the Crimson in every department making 12 first downs to Harvard's eight and gaining

several strokes to tlie scores but tho day was otherwise perfect for the occasion and Roanokers who chose to watch these sterling golfers In preference to the gridiron games vesterday were well re warded for their Interest applauding frequently the beautiful shots of the foursome with enthusiasm at Its height when the match was half over and the local pros were only 1 down Mitchell Is the

Lexington Oct Eleven stalwart "Iron men" wearing the red Jersey of Virginia Military Institute completely upset pre game calculations here today and triumphed over the University of Virginia Cavaliers on Alumni ield 9 to 0 It was one of the great est victories ever recorded by a JI I football team and the only one scored over the Charlottesville grtdders In the past five years No Substitutions Playing through the entire sixty mln ules without relief each of the eleven men who composed the lying Squad ron deserves credit for a great performance but It was the two ends Scott and Moody the great Ab Barnes and Al Hawkins who leap ed into the limelight at crucial mo ments to win the plaudits of 6000 spectators by unusual and spectacular feats irst It was Scott who threw him self In front of punt near the end of the first quarter and then gave the Utter a chase to recover the bounding oval behind the Virginia goal Sloan caught up with the ball first but had only time to fall on for a safety Then It was Barnes who despite the fact that he was watched more closely than the other Cadet backs fought his way through a slight gap in the center of the line and ran 39 yards down the sideline In the last quarter before he was hauled down oy Sloan on the 14 yard Hue And It was Barnes cool and deliberate who a moment later shot a pass with deadly accuracy Into hands behind the goal line Hawkins failed to figure in the scoring but at most stages of the game he bore the brunt of the I offense carrying the ball time after time and seldom without gain The performance of the I out fit was a revelation Admittedly the underdog as a result of Virginia's great showing in holding Princeton to a scoreless tie the Squadron completely outclassed charges In every department of the game It Is doubtful If the Red White and Yel low ever won a more decisive victory The nine point margin In no wise give a true plctura of the superiority of the Cadets Virginia Outclassed It was Just day and the Cavaliers never had a chance Not once was there cause for nervousness on the part of I partisans Virginia never had the ball In her possession In I terltory Thp closest approach to the enemy goal was their own 42 yard line They reached this point early hi the second quarter and this marked the only time during the battle that they ad vanced farther than their own forty yard marker Outplayed from the opening whistle the Cavaliers were a distinct disap pointment Sloan was forced to do virtually all of tha ball toting for the Orange and Blue outfit after Close who Is suffering from an Injury gave way to a substitute early In the sec ond quarter The Cavalier line lack ing several regulars was wholly un able to cope with the brand of foot ball displayed by the hard charging scrapping red Jerseyed Cadet forwards Symington Turner and Luke fought fl great fight but their efforts were not sufficient to make the Blue line Im pervious to the vigorous thrusts of the fast stepping Hawkins Barnes and Harner The battle today was the twenty fourth between the Cavaliers and Cadets With only four previous vic tories to her credit in the long list I has additional cause for re joicing In the victory The game proves among other things that the Jinx which has denied the Institute a victory over the Orange and Blue on Alumni ield on three previous occa viz in 1923 1924 and is a mere will the wisp and has no power over a determined fighting not to be cienied set of footballers such as took the field here at 3 o'clock this afternoon In a large measure the shown by the I

quarter neither team was able to score but West at tack kept the Generals puzzled A diversified attack carried the ball to Washington and 13 yard line but Keefer fumbled and Washington and Lee recovered and punted out of dan ger umbles on several other occasions benefited the Generals The West Virginia effort reached Its height In the second period The ball was advanced steadily by a series of line plays and off tackle smashes un til Keefer went over for a touchdown A few minutes later Hartrug pulled a 25 yard pass out of the air and crossed the goal line for another touchdown A placement kick failed after the first touchdown but sailed straight between the bars after the second Hartrug was responsible for the third touchdown soon after the opening of the second half shooting oft left end for a 35 yard gallop across the goal line Again the extra point was added from placement In the final period the Mountaineers gave the reserves an opportunity making frequent substitu
