the Mountaineers showed their
superiority over the University Of
Virginia football machine in a fast
and well-played game. Virginia
was particularly anxious to defeat
the Varsity because it wound-up
a big homecoming" celebration
and they would have liked nothing
better than a victory over the To-

West Virginia 'outclassea the
Old Dominion eleven in all de
partments. The Varsity advanced
the ball 1873 yards on straight run
ming attack and registered eleven
first downs. Virginia gained only
50 yards from running attack for
six first downs.
The Mountaineers showed a
marked improvement in the arcial
department. completing two Of the
four passes they attempted. This
is much better than they have done
at any time this season. The two
completed passes gained 81 yards,
while the other two we're inCom-

OF nine passes for a gain OF SO
yards-one less than the Mountain
GERS. The Nirelnians also had II
pass Intercepted.
West Virginia. drew siv penal
ties for a loss Of SO yards, while
Virginia was not penalized once
during the whole game.
West Virginia also reduced her
fumbling to n minimum. On only
two occasions did the Mountain
GERS tumble and both were recov.
cred. Virginia fumbled once but
failed to recover.
Homer Martin continued his
brilliant puntinE and easily aver
aged more than ten yards to the
punt than his opponents. Taking
everything into consideration It
was an outstanding victory for the
Mountnineers, who played the
game with four regulars missing
from the lineup. West Virginia
continues to improve steadily and
Mo~untaineer fans now have hopes
OF defeating W. and J.. or at least
holding Neale's warriors to a low
