duction, with Handy Andy scoring
from the l after pacing drive OF

Attack Boys.
A promising G. w. attack
begged down early in the first
period after Dugoff Of the Colo
malls recovered a v. M. I. tumble
on the Keydet %. From that point
Davis ran ana passed the ball to
the 18, where his fourth-down
pass was long and v. M. I. took
over. v. M. I. rolled past midfield.
but was forced to kick after a
penalty and G. w., launched its
lone touchdown drive from its own
36-yard marker. Davis threw to
Butler for 81 yards and a first
down on the Keydet 20. and Davis
and Tivnan slogged to the 16 as
the quarter ended. Close took a
buttonhook pass from Davis for
a first down on the v. M. I. 6 and
Andy legged 1t over on the next
play. Cavallo converted to give
G. w. a TO lead.
After the kickoff, G. w. moved
nicely from its own 80 to the
Y. M. I. 80, but on fourth down,
with but a foot to go. the Colo
mails refused to gamble and Shul-
lenberger punted out of bounds
Is yards distant. Forced to kick
again, v. M. I. watched G. w.
march to the 1-yard line, where
the Keydets got their back up and
took the ball away. During this
drive, Davis carried Schrader's
punt back 80 yards to the v. M. l..
20, then passed to Shaw for a
first down on the 8. Four smashes
at the line carried only to the l
and the Keydets kicked out shortly
before the half ended.
Keydets Score.
Starting from their own As
early in the third period. the Key
diets drove to a quick touchdown.
A 41-yard Veltri-to-Birge pass
play took them to the G. w. 10.
Two cracks took them to the 8
and on the next play Powell took
the ball on a double reverse, swept
the width of the field and scram-
bled the remaining nine yards
for a touchdown. Graf converted
to tie 1t at TT.
v. M. 7. put the clincher on
about midway through the final
period when Ripley dropped on
a Davis tumble on the G. w. 20.
The Keydets scored on the next
play, Veltri tossing to Petree, who
gathered in the ball on the s.
ward line and trotted over unas-
sailed. Graf again converted to
put v. M. I. ahead, lat.
The game ended with the Key
diets banging loudly on the g. w
door, an apparent six-yard end
run for q touchdown by v. M. rs
Anson going for nought when
somebody was offside. G. w
penetrated as far as the v. M. I
SO in the final quarter, but that
was the best Davis-sparked Colo
mails could do.
