another touchdown just before
the half ended, he returned to
direct the Cavaliers 80 yards for
the final score in the last period.
The Cavaliers hopelessly out
claSSed the Cadets in their an
nual rivalry which dates back
to 1898. Virginia rolled up 247
yards on the ground to VMI's II
and made 20 first downs while
the Cadets could gain only five.
VMI pushed into Virginia ter

the game. then couldn't get past

The Cadets could not gain and
Virginia got the ball again on

ginia end took the 'heave on the
seven and ran across the goal.
Rives Bailey, starting quarter
back last year, was at the con-
trolls when Virginia scored it's
second touchdown late in the
second period. Bailey drove the
Cavaliers 64 yards in 10 running

Gatling Makes Good Gains.
Gatling, who Virginia sup
pcrters are calling a harder run
ner than Johnny Papit, reeled
off several good gains today.
John Polzer, star Cavalier guard,
again was the outstanding Vir-
ginia lineman and played So
minutes.
Guards Frank Fannon of st.
Johns in Washington and Jay
Corson of Episcopal High in
Alexandria were both on the in
jury list and did not play. Half
back Byron Anderson of Epis-
copal High saw action in the
final minutes and just missed in
tercepting a pass.
VMI which had little to cheer
about got good performances
from Fullback Nick Servidio on
offense and Halfback Joe Moody
on defense. Moody. playing be-
hind a weak line, had to make a
large percentage of the tackles.
Two pretty fair fullbacks were
in the press box. Papit, who
works for a Charlottesville trust
company made an appeal over
the loud speaker for funds to
support the Olympic team, and

A Word to the Wise yMr.. Fro"t Cobb,

Houston: Why Is New Orleans
called 1.-The Crescent City,?
B. M.
It was originally so called be-
cause it was built in the form Of
a crescent on a bend of the
Mississippi River. Because Of
large extensions this description
no longer applies. Galena, ILL.,, is
sometimes called the Crescent
City of the West" and it has,
perhaps, better right to the Sob
riquet than New Orleans.
New York is often spoken Of
as Gotham" and the inhabit-
ants nicknamed "Gothamites. :"
Washington Irving first applied
the sobriquet to that metropolis
in sarcastic allusion to self-as-
sumed authority, and referred
to the old story, 1.-THE Wise Men
of Gotham"
2. It is said that King John in
tknded to make q progress
