football is not lady's game"
American University's gentle
manly gridders showed how lady-like
the sport could become yesterday on
their field when practically they
handed Randolph-Macon their home
coming game on a silver platter.
Proving perfect hosts, the Eagles as
much as insisted upon their guests
scoring three times in the first period
to clinch an ultimate 1877 victory.
Twice Hal Toner passed directly
into the hands of Randolph Macon
players who used the interruptions as
starting points for touchdowns, while
a third time the Jackets capitalized
upon A. us mis-handling of the ball
to start on the road to another.
Once the locals got out of their ap-
parent case of crowd fright, it was
3 close ball game with the visitors
being held scoreless in the second Pc
Rod and the Eagles being outscored
by only 21 ratio in the second half.
The damage had been done, however,
and the screams of hundreds OF Betty
Co-Eds among the 1000 spectators
couldn't repair it.
Keep Eagles Gagged.
I IKE true Eagles, the losers took to
the air to score their only touch
down. incidentally. it was the third
straight year in which the Chesapeake
Conference champions of 1885 and '36
who look good to repeat-held A. U.
TO points.
Aided by 5-yard penalty which
gave them first down on the visitors
Al, Toner passed twice to Kimber
Shoop and Bob Hall for first downs,
the second coming on Randolph
Macon's 16. Toner then got on the
receiving end of a lateral from Shoop
to race; to the S. On the next play
he swept around right end, dragging
two tacklers with him, for the score.
There had been nothing dilatory
about the Jackets in opening the scor-
ing. .Intercepting Toner'S first pass
on the third play of the game, Waleski
gave his team the ball on A. us AZ.
AL Paliscak and Jimmy Bair-A. U.
trouble-makers for the last three years
then aternated in carrying the ball
to the 1-foot line where the former
hit center for the score. Waleski made
good on the first of three conversions.
A. U. tried trick on the succeed
ing play, Toner punting back Waleski's
kickoff without attempting to return
it. 1t put the ball back on Randolph
Macon's Is, but a return punt to
Larry Howard was fumbled by the
little A. U. back on his own 80, Froh-
bose recovering for the Jackets.
Lobuono took Paliscak's long pass in
the end zone on the second play for
the second touchdown.

-FOUR plays 1ater-or within s min
utes Of the first touchdown-th
Jackets scored again. Gajewski in
tercepted Toner'S pass on the Eagles,
10 and Bair raced around left end for
IS yards for the touchdown.
After A. Y. had reduced the margin
to 20-7 by III third-quarter touchdown,
Randolph-Macon did not surrender
the ball before scoring its fourth six
pointer of the day.. Although Bair
nearly got away on. the kickoff, his
team was penalized back to its own
IS when he attempted a forward-lat-
eral pass at mid-field Just as he was
about to be tackled. The setback had
little effect on the visitors who scored
IN two plays on Welch's 35-yard pass
to Paliscak and BARS 30-yard run
down the sidelines and across the goal
line.
The winners last touchdown came
hate in the last quarter. Paliscak pass
ing for s0-yard gain, running for 18
more and crashing over from the g.
yard stripe Walesk accounted for
the SD point with his last conversion
