IHAGERTY IRATE;
.HOYAS FAIL TO
SCORE 50 POINTS
By CHICK KENNY

football team. The young coach
had planned to run UP at least
| so points on Roanoke College last
Saturday. but the team let him
down-with a thud!
Hagerty would have settled
earlier in the week for so points,
but when he learned that two Of
the regular backfield aces of the
visitors were out of the game as q
result of injuries received the week
previous, he jacked-up the point
total by 10 additional points
another touchdown, a placement
and a field goal, or five safties for
that matter.
Jack claims the linemen were
the cause of the Hoyas' moral de-
feat. They refused to speed it up,
and open holes for the Hoya backs.
The ends, too, were anything but
on their toes in rushing in after
the paSSer and travelling down the
field to cover punts.
ANOTHER SET-UP
This week Hagerty has set SO
as the point total. The club plays
Randolph-Macon, another member
of the Chesapeake Conference.
Saturday afternoon. More than
so points already have been
scored against the invading
Jackets in one game this season.
A couple OF weeks ago Wake For
est ground out 81 points.
But it is strictly UP to the Hoya
varsity, whether or not Hagerty
gets his wish this week end.
"All last week our players
mooned over that 51-0 defeat of
Hampden-Sydney in the opener.
We couldn't get them to settle
down and concentrate on the game
with Roanoke. This Roanoke team
is no stronger than Hampden-
Sydney, yet we scored 18 less
points and gave up a touchdown
besides. I'm really sore at that
gang of ours, and so are our
coaches, DubofSky and Murtagh.
But what can we do when the
team loafs Saturday afternoon?
It's all very disgusting" Hagerty
stated.
