RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 2.-RE
The University of Richmond's Spi-
ders cashed in on two Virginia Mil
itary institute fumbles to upset the
favored Cadets 81 b efore a
thrilled crowd of 10000 today.
A yMI bobble on the Cadets

Richmond ahead 80 in the Sec
ond period. Arthur Jones, the Spi-
ders' ace triple-threat, booted the
ball from the eight.
Cadet backs drove down to the
Richmond Is early in the fourth
period where Son Shelby passed
to Luther Sexton, end, for a touch
down. Joe Mudah, soph fullback,
added the extra point and VM1
appeared to have a safe lead at
7-3.
The Richmond attack was
stopped after the kickoff and Ned
Butcher punted to Shelby's arms
and the ball bounded crafty to-
ward the goal line. Clint Moore,
reserve Richmond end, finally
trapped it just tWo-feet from the
VMI goal. Jones dived high over
the VMI forwards for the touch
down. Jones' placement for the

stuff, an ambitious band of Florida
Gators discovered today when
they were repulsed, IA to 0 in a
Southeastern conference game.
And, ironically enough, it was
two nativG sons of the Peninsula
State, Bill Nowling of St. Peters
burg and Buist Warren Of Miami,
who played the major roles in the
Vols fifth successive victory.
For fully two periods the Vols
were anything but the team that
whipped Duke and Alabama. For
a while it appeared that the men
of Major Bob Neyland were so
amazed by their first closeup of
the razzle-dazzle that they would
be left at the barrier.
Tennessee's lone drive in h e
first half petered out on the Flor
ida six but after an intermission
chat with the old army officer,
they returned with decidedly more
dash.
After a punt exchange which
gave the Vols the ball on Florida's
48, Nowling, the only sophomore
to earn a regular berth, sifted in
side left guard and then rambled
Iou,p fo11 for the initial ccoro
Ike Peel, blocking back, p la C e
kicked the extra point.
The crowd of about $4,000 then
sat up, expecting to see a complete
rout of the Gators but the Vols
didn't live up to the expectations.
Not until the final period did
Tennessee's offense come to life
when Warren, third-string tailback
who rates as one of the best pass
throwers in the conference, entered
the conflict. 4
