Army's New Power
Again on Display in
Game With Virginia
By Bill Fuchs
Stur Sfuff correspondens

WEST POINT, N. Y. Oct. 3d.
Army, in the midst of a football
renaissance, was all set to treat
$1,000 fans to a display of It's
new-found power today at the
expense Of Virginia.
Only by trick or treat on this
Halloween week end was Virginia
given a chance to stop the Black
Knights in their upward charge
from the lowly depths Of a crib
bing scandal three years ago.
And Army wasn't expected to be
In a give-away mood. while Vir-
ginia did not figure to have
enough tricks.
Niche Stadium was filled for
this one, Army's last game at
home. Among the spectators
were 10000 Boy Scouts. admitted
as guests in observation Of Boy
Scout Day.
Virginia hoped the Boy Scout
mood would penetrate the Army
ranks and thus keep the Cava-
liers from embarrassment like
that suffered by Dartmouth and
Columbia. Despite the emptying
Of the bench by Coach Earl
{Red) Blaik. the Cadets ran up
a grand total Of 127 points
against these two teams.
Neither team could contain
Blaik's horde Of versatile backs.
Pete Vann, Pat Uebel, Tommy
Bell. Mike Zeigler. Dick Murt-
land, Pete Lash and others have
given Army a backfleld with
power and speed to match that
OF the Blanchard-D Davis era.
The Cadets opened inauspi-
ciously. bowling to an underdog
South Carolina team which ap-
peared to baffie Army with its
sliding-T formation. It has
been one big resurgence since
for the Cadets, who have rolled
over Michigan. Dartmouth. Duke
and Columbia in order and now
are ranked No. 5 nationally.
Virginia is also enjoying a
renaissance OF sorts. The Cava-
liers won only one game last
season against eight losses. So
far this season they've beaten
Lehigh. George Washington and
VIM. while losing to Penn State
and VPI.
