CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct.
23.-Joe McCary, Grover Jones and
John Papit had good days for the
university of Virginia before a
homecoming crowd of 10000 today
as the Cavaliers displayed an ex-
cellent running and passing attack
to defeat Virginia Military Institute,
26-14.
The Cavaliers also came up with
a new star in Steve Osisek who re-
turned an intercepted pass so yards
to start -Virginia's second scoring
drive. He also passed for the touch
down he had just set up.
It was a good, wide open game for
the most part as the Cavaliers ran
their winning string over the Key
diets to six straight. Just as had
been predicted, the game was q
ding dong offensive duel. Virginia
rolled to 260 yards on the ground
and added 121 yards on nine pass
completions in 10 tries.
The Cavaliers didn't crack the
scoring column until the second
period when McCary went over on q
short quarterback sneak. They then
Tailed another touchdown in the
third frame and added . winning
pair in the final.
| Anacostia Boy Scores.
The other Virginia touchdowns
were by Floyd Tayloe on q pass
from Osisek in the third period, by
End Gene Schroeder, the Anacostia
High product, on pass from Nc
Cary in the fourth and by Gene
Edmunds on short buck, also in
the fourth.
Ray Tamalis made the Keydets'
first touchdown in the fourth
quarter on a 6-yard plunge while
Claude Patton ended the scoring be-
fore the final gun by pulling q
pass from Bobby Thomason, their
quarterback.
The most sensational and fastest
scoring drive was Virginia's second
which started when one OF Thoma-
sons passes was intercepted on the
Cavalier goal line and returned to
midfield by Osisek. Papit tore around
right end and dashed to the Keydet
10. Three plays later Osisek hit Tay-
loe with pass in the end zone.
Virginia's first bid for a score was
turned back at the v. M. I. 2 in the
second period, but minute later
they drove from the Keydet 80 to
tally. McCary's 10-yard pass to
Tayloe and Jones' 11-yard run were
features, with McCary sneaking over
from the for the touchdown. Joe
Leonard's placement was good after
this and after the fourth touchdown.
Jim Gill, Cavalier End, started
another scoring drive late in the
third period by returning q punt
from the Virginia 2 to the 81. From
there Jones and Papit led q running
attack to the Keydets' al. From
which point McCary passed to Schro-
eder in the end zone early In the
final frame.
A Papit tumble recovered by Chuck
Schluter on the Virginia 80 gave the
Keydets their first scoring chance.
Thomson set up the tally with q
13-yard pass to End Ed butes on the
6 and Tamalis broke through the
line to score.
Keydets Score Again.
The Cavaliers bounced back with
Papit returning the kickoff from his
goal to his "a. Another 4O-yard
dash down the sidelines, this one
by Jones, ate up most of the re-
naming distance. Gene Edmunds,
a substitute back, made his first
touchdown of the year by bucking
one yard through the line.
A poor kickoff to the v. M. I. 50
gave the Keydets another start.
Paul Shrader made much of the
distance on 25-yard run with the
payof a 13-yard pass from Thom-
ason to Patton at the goal. Bill
Graf made good with both extra
point tries.
Papit and Jones were responsible
for most of the Cavaliers rushing
mileage, earning 102 and 10l yards,
respectively.
EXTRA FONTS 49, Schroeder's
touchdown was scored on a sensa-
tlonal catch. He dashed in be-
tween two v. M. I. defensive backs
to steal the ball from both of them.
:. Thomson, the Keydet quarter
back and passer was a very slip
perry boy on his touchdown pass. i
He was trapped by two Virginia
tacklerS, shook them of, and was
trapped by still another tackler and
chased back before he could get the
ball away. The official distance
was Is yards from the line Of scrim-
mage, but he was back to the 80
at least when he let go. Nc.
Cary, Cavalier quarterback, also
showed some fancy stuff when trap
ped. ). Once he ran 10 yards when
no receivers were clear and, on the
next play, ran for 10 under the same
conditions to carry to the Keydet
/ just before Edmunds scored.
