Keydets Win on Safety
After Late Touchdown

By George Huber

A safety with two seconds to
go after a touchdown only four
minutes from the end of the
game gave Virginia Military In
stitute a 1914 victory over
George Washington University
yesterday at Alexandria.
The Colonials seemed to have
the game safely in hand after
taking a 14-7 lead in the third
period, but they suddenly fell be-
fore the Keydets' late onslaught.
This was the third straight year
the two teams have put on
thrillers. They played a 1920
tie in 1852 and last year CIV
eked out a 14-13 victory.
Five thousand shirt-sleeved
spectators in George Washington
High School Stadium were
treated to a see-saw game in
which the Colonials, two-touch-
down favorites, were forced to
come from behind to take what
seemed a safe lead in the third
period.
The decisive safety came when
Arnie Tranen, substitute quar-
terback who earlier had thrown
a 35-yard scoring pass, was
showed under in the CIV end

Gainesville police and f1remen

Techs 1912 defeat at the hanos
of the University of Florida to-
day as Florida students cele-
brated..
At least four bonfires were set
and police fired all their avail
able tear gas at students at
tempting to block f1remen from
the fires on a heavily travelled
Highway alongside the campus.
Within minutes after the end
of the game at Atlanta students
dragged heavy timbers and logs
to an intersection at the north
west corner of the campus.
A huge fire roared up and
about 5000 to 1000 students
blocked the streets. They ignored
a heavy thundershower. 1t took
all the policemen available in
the area to battle a path through
the students with fire hoses and
tear gas and put out the fire.
Students fought back with bot
ties and beer cans.
No sooner was this fire eXtin-
guished than a second and third

WEST POINT. N. Y, Sept. 25.
South Carolina double-phtooned
an Army football team with a
horde of fleet backs today and
handed the Cadets a crushing
1920 defeat in their opening
game of the season. Army was a

Cadets had lost an opener. It
happened in 1890 and again
when Villanova won in 1851.

needs $500. appears to have
only Bo Wininger of Oklahoma
City to contend with for top
money as the $4,000 tourna-
ment enters the final round to-
day at Congressional Country
Club.
Furgol remains as the only
player to break 70 all three
rounds, and he leads the field by
two strokes with 67-68-69 for
204, nine under par for the route.
Mumbling to himself, talking
incessantly to the galleries and
asking his caddie for advice on
the green's on every hole, Furgol
escaped a bad start with some
lucky shots and then warmed
to the task by playing the back
nine in two-under-par 33. Ex-
cept for Wininger, most of the
other contenders were in various
forms of collapse.
Wininger, who ranks 21st as
a money winner in his second
year as pro, stuck in there with
a 70 for 206. The 32-year-old
graduate of Oklahoma AIM,
played the last four holes in two

Two pros who are not exactly
household names, Bob Rosburg

Gene Littler of Palm Springs,
Calf, a co-leader at the half
way mark, and Ralph Bogart,
the Chevy Chase amateur who
was tied with Furgol and led all
the rest after As holes, had the
saddest stories of the day to
relate.
Littler, runnerup in the Ma
tional Open, and with a game
that appears to be too good to
miss, went over par on the first
hole and never did get going.
He floundered to a IS and is six
shots back at 210.
Bogart Blows Up.
Bogart, two shots back at the
halfway mark and the pleasant
surprise of the tournament. went
out in "a yesterday. With Furgol
playing par golf and Littler one
over, Ralph was in the drivers
seat with nine holes to play.
There was talk of his winning
the tournament, which from a
national standpoint would be
one of the big upsets of pro golf
history.
Then Ralph three-putted the
10th green, missing 3-footer for
a par. Ed Oliver, the third men,
ber of the Furgol-Bogart three
some, later said that three-putt
green appeared to upset Ralph.
Whether or not that was the
costly shot, Bogart played the
18th hole poorly and had an
ther bogey. He was in the trap
on the 18th and missed a A.
footer for a par after a nice ex-
plosion shot. He played the 18th
poorly after a good drive and en-
countered his fourth straight
bogey.
