As the 25-yard pass fell in the end zone IT WAS A CLOSE, hard-fought, struggle all the way, with a missed conversion try by Stan Knowles after the first Virginia touchdown in the second period proving the margin of defeat.

Ralph Chesnauskas' three perfect conversions saved the day for the Cadets who had been fifth ranked in the nation in last week's Associated Press poll. Army took the lead in the first period as Pat Uebel stormed over from the eight after a series of Pete Vann-to-Don Holleder passes. Joe Cygler's fumble, recovered by Virginia's Henry Strempek in mid air, gave the boys from Dixie their first touchdown in the second period. Strempek went nine yards with the ball. Then came Knowles missed placement that left Army with a 7-6 edge at half time.

The rest of the scoring was packed into a hair-raising third period in which Hartwell smashed home for Virginia from the three after a 53-yard run by Strempek. Knowles made the point this time and Virginia led 13-7. Aroused by this sudden turn, Army quickly drove for two scores, Tommy Bell stiff-arming his way 29 yards for the first and Uebel bursting over for the four for the second. Just when the game seemed to have broken open, Clarke hit Bob Pogue with a 32- yard scoring pass to put Virginia back in the running. Two Army fumbles recovered by the ball-hawking Virginia team and an interception of a Vann pass by John Polzer blunted Army threats in the fourth period.

At the end Virginia had recovered Cygler's fumble on the Army 40, had moved to the 25 on two passes by Clarke and had time for just the one long throw that fell in the end zone. There was a -sized Virginia contingent in the crowd of 20.500 and about 15,000 Boy Scouts. The stadium had been sold out to its capacity of 27,000 but some didn't show on the cold rainy afternoon. FUMBLES PLAGUED Army throughout the ball game but Virginia, playing its first game under adverse weather conditions, didn't seem to have as much trouble holding the wet ball. The Virginia team, beaten last week by Virginia Tech, 6-0, and barely over .500 with a 3-2 going into their first game with Army, played a splendid ball game.

They never were overawed by the Cadets who had won four straight after losing to South Carolina in their opening game. Five times the alert Virginia team pounced on Army fumbles to blunt the power the Cadets showed in piling up a total of 449 yards, 292 on the ground and 157 in the air. The Vann-Holeder passing combination clocked as usual for the Cadets, but the Virginia team fin- (Continued on Face 20) And Starts 55-Yard Tigers Wallop Sewanee, 14-0 Rives Takes Care Of Scoring Duties HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Oct. 30 (AP) -Fullback Cabell Rives powered over for two first period touchdowns and Hampden-Sydney's resurgent Tigers protected this lead the remainder of the game here today to whip Sewanee, 14-0. Rives not only bagged both Tiger touchdowns, but also added an extra after each to account for all the afternoon's scoring single-handedly, SPECTACULAR PASSES set up the touchdown plunges by Rives and stout defensive work by the Hampden-Sydney line blunted all attempts, at the Tigers retaliation won by their Sesecond game in a row after losing their first three outings.

Quarterback Jim laid 41-yard aerial in the arms of end Jim Overby on Hampden-Sydney's third play from scrimmage to advance the ball to the Sewanee 8 and set the stage for Rives to carry over in two punches into the line. Moments later, halfback Bill Lehew pitched 44 yards to Overby, who was downed on the Sewanee 1, from where Rives scrambled across again. SEWANEE, which was limited to only 12 yards rushing by the fierce-charging forward wall, made two serious scoring threats but each time lost the ball on downs. In second period, the visitors gave Tigers a scare when fullthe back Bill Doswell picked off Hampden-Sydney pass on the Tiger 45 and ran it back to the 26. The threat ended four plays later with the ball advanced only to the 20.

In the third stanza. Sewanee got to the Hampden-Sydney 23 on passes by Bill McCorburn to Bobby Parks. But once again the drive fizzled as the Tigers forwards, with end Ronnie Henry leading the charge, pushed the attackers back to the 41 and (Continued on Page 20) HAND (AP)-Army's reputation as a natoday, when, 21-20 the victory cadets over had an to supposed to come close. its heels with Herbie Hartwell, a but the gallant southerners didn't game ended Lefty Whitey Clarke's in a twinkling last gasp effort. Steak, Not Crow, For Nugent Family After Beating VMI LYNCHBURG, Oct.

30 (AP) The Tom Nugents will be eating steak now, if you please. The Florida State University football team, coached by Nugent, received this telegram just before the State-VMI game here today: "Please win today. We like eating steak better than crow. Good luck." It was signed: "The Nugent Children." Tom has six, two with the initials "T.D." and one with the "P.A.T." Florida State responded with a 33-19 victory. Valley High Beats Central Easily, 40-0 HOT SPRINGS, Oct.

30-Gene Waskey threw three touchdown passes and another for an extra point in teaming with Joe Rider to lead Valley High to a 40-0 victory over Central of Low Moor today. Rider ran for touchdowns on 8 and 37 yard scampers and took one of the aerials from Waskey. Waskey passed to Bob Frye and Ronnie Polane for six-pointers and to Ralph Beard for an extra point. Beard completed the touchdown making with a 11-yard effort. He also added three points, one of them on a drop kick.

Panthers Spoil Mounties' Record With 13-10 Win MORGANTOWN, W. Oct. 30 (AP)-Two arrow-straight passes by sophomore Corny Salvaterra in the final half punctured West Virginia's perfect season and bowl hope today as resurging Pittsburgh scored a 13-10, upset victory at Mountaineer Field. The 190-pound sharpshooter hit his sophomore battery mate, Ambrose Bagamery, from nine yards out late in the third period and then connected with towering end Fred Glatz on a four-yard bullet pass into the end zone to clinch the game with two minutes and 22 seconds to play. BOTH TOUCHDOWN strokes wiped out leads by the West ginians, who scored on a 19-yard field goal by center Chick Donaldson with a second to play in the opening half and who added a touchdown midway in the fourth period on a four -yard sweep by fullback Joe Marconi.

NOT MORE than 5,000 shivering fans, including Gov. Thomas B. Stanley, at the "Jaycee Bowl" contest saw Vic Prinzi, an 18- year-old reserve signal caller, hit on scoring tosses of 53 and 55 yards to left end Ronnie Schomburger, another freshman, and a third covering 45 yards to fullback John Griner. Prinzi's passing broke open a tight ball game that was knotted at 13-all as late as midway through the third period.

V.MI, dropping its fifth game in seven starts, actually outgained the Seminoles from Tallahassee by nearly 100 yards, but the Keydets fell victims of a lightning -like aerial display that included more than a little old fashioned luck. The Seminoles opened their attack in the first quarter when starting quarterback Len Swantic, faking beautifully, permitted halfback Billy Odom plenty of time to elude the VMI secondary, and then shot a pass to the little sophomore who completed the 45- yard play without a hand being laid on him.

30 (AP)- Striking through the air three times and once on the ground in the first three periods, RandolphMacon racked up their sixth consecutive win of the season here today, easily defeating Dickinson College 27-6. YELLOWJACKETS scored the first time they put their hands on ball in the first period. After a Dickinson march was stopped on the 25. Quarterback Bob Lincoln stepped back and hurled the pass to Charlie Nuttycombe on his own 42 and the speedy halfback raced down the sidelines for the score. It was a 75-yard play.

Fullback Johnny Graham kicked the extra point. The Lincoln-Nuttycombe team went into action again in the second period, with the quarterback hurling from the 45 and hitting Nuttycombe on the 22 where the latter went all the way. Two more scores were picked up in the third period. Graham, Yellowjacket fullback, climaxed a 56-yard march by going over from five yards out. The Yellowjackets gobbled up the yardage in eight plays.

After an exchange of kicks a few minutes later, RandolphMacon started out on their own 41. Lincoln tossed a short pass to halfback Lee Rayfield and he was hauled down on the Dickinson 25. Olen Evans, halfback, picked up 12 (Continued on Page 20) SHOULDER TO SHOULDER- Army back Russ Mericle uses a shoulder block to force Virginia left halfback Herb Hartwell, right, out of bounds after he picked up nine yards on a (Times Photo) For Virginia Tech Against Indians Henley And Anderson Account For Touchdowns Tech Comes From Behind In Fourth To Gain Hard- Earned Deadlock By HAROLD WIMMER Times Sports Editor freshman quarterback whose name program fired three long touchdown himself here this afternoon to engineer 33-19 football victory over Virginia seniors in the Florida lineup, converted. VMI RETALIATED quickly by marching the ensuing kickoff 62 yards in six plays, with Dave Woolwine taking to the air for the payoff, a 38-yard strike to right end Tom Dooley of Salem. When Woolwine booted the point, it was all tied at 7-7.

Florida wasted little time, though, in regaining a margin. Woolwine kicked off to safety man Lee Corson on the FSU the 165-pound sophomore whizzed 67 yards to the VMI 18 where Dooley finally made a shoestring tackle. It took five plays for Prinzi to dash around right end from the five. Harry Massey's kick was wide. After a second quarter of pass Interceptions, fumble turnovers and punts, VMI got down toe business in the third period.

A brilliant diving catch by end Ray Collins of Woolwine's pass gave the Keydets a 35-yard gain Florida three and Mike Foley, Hopewell senior, banged the middle to score. Royce Jones replaced Woolwine for (Continued on Page 20) BLACKSBURG, Oct. 30-Virginia over Miles Field this wintry afternoon as they had to settle for a 7-7 from William and Mary. Ranked 14th in week's tional poll, the highly regarded Gobblers had to come from behind in the last four minutes of the game to match the seven points hung up by William and Mary in the first quarter. The Indians scored easy as pie as Doug Henley grabbed one of Billy Cranwell's passes and sailed down the sideline 55 yards into the end zone.

Tech scored the hard way, going overland 53 yards with Billy Anderson picking up the touchdown from three yards out. DICKIE BEARD, who is fast becoming Tech's best all-around back, calmly booted the goal that gave Tech its tie. That was the final offensive maneuver for Tech with the exception of a kick runback by Anderson on the last play of the game. Homecoming drew some 16,000 fans. The old grads were consoled as Tech continued in the undefeated ranks but the deadlock put a damper on an otherwise perfect season.

The Gobblers had mowed down their first five opponents and enjoyed the favorite role sweep around his own left end in second period. Don Satterfield (86), Army end, follows play. Army had to come from behind to edge out Virginia, 21-20. (AP Wirephoto) Tech's Gobblers rambled all but went nowhere in particular with a band of hustling Indians today but William and Mary just wouldn't give yardage when the chips were down. Tech was seeking its first victory over the Tribe since 1938 and the first in Miles Stadium since 1922.

A frigid breeze blew in from Brush Mountain but the blow was mild compared to spirits of Hokie followers after Henley grabbed Cranwell's pass from the air and put the Indians into a lead they held until near the end of the game. Henley's run was the only chance the Indians had to score. After that Tech's big forwards smothered runners at or near the line of scrimmage in most instances. In fact, the Tribe had but 53 yards to show in the rushing department at the game's conclusion and only 47 through the air. On the other hand, Techmen ran with the greatest of easeuntil nearing the Tribe goal.

The Gobblers knocked on touchdown's door often but were welcomed but the one time. Even then, no one in the record crowd was sure that the Hokies would make it. TECH HAD the ball on one with first down. Beard lost a yard and then Dave Ebert was spilled six yards behind the line by Bill Riley. Beard made it back to the three fourth, down up.

Coach Moseley on coming, his Mighty Mite from Marion and Little Billy responded on his first run of the game, going into the end zone standing up. Beard then kicked the gametying point and that concluded the scoring for the afternoon. William and Mary made token attempt at a field goal just before the final whistle. Charlie Sumner was called on for the kicking job at his 45 with the ball falling six yards short. Anderson took the kick and raced to the 22 as the game ended.

It was the third straight victory for the Panthers, rallying to a fine season interim coach Tom Hamilton after losunder, ing the first three games. Hamilton, robust retired Navy admiral, took over the reins when Red Dawson became ill. Hamilton led the Panthers to triumphs over Navy and Northwestern before today.

It was the first setback in five games for the Mountaineers, who had aspirations of return to 3. big bowl, and it preserved the tradition that Pitt has never lost a game to West Virginia on Mountaineer Field. A crowd of 34,000, the first sellout in the stadium's history, jammed into Mountaineer Field for the ruggedly played game which saw fortunes shift repeat- (Continued on Page 14) Howie Wright, Tech's injured star, was in the starting lineup but the Dover Flyer was operating at reduced efficiency, He retired after 10 minutes and did not return to action. After 11 minutes of the initial quarter, Tech was making its best showing when the tide changed in quick order. Sumner kicked over the Tech goal for a touchback and the Hokies marched to midfield and then into Indian land.

Cranwell pitched a flat pass In the direction of Ebert but Henley stepped into the picture, taking the ball in stride. The interception didn't look dangerous at the time as Ebert was in good defending position. However, Henley, considered just a SO-50 runner, easily outdistanced Ebert. Cranwell closed in and made a desperate effort to knock the runner outside but Henley was across the goal before stumbling to the turf. (Continued on Paze 20).
