  CENTRE IS FORCED TO LIMIT TO WIN FROM U.P.I. ELEVEN Virginia Tech Scores on Col onelS and KentuCklans Forced to Uncover Richmond, Va. October 1.--Centre college of Kentucky defeated the Virginia Polytechnic eleven here to- day, 10 to 6. but not until atfer their goal line had been crossed for the first time this season. and they had been forced to unoovsr their entire game with Harvard next week. The virginians scored in the first period of consistent attack at Cen tres left. Tech got the ball on the Kentuckians’ 4s-yard line when Rob erts missed pass, Wallace making a run for 26 yards gain. Plunges at Centres line then took the oval to the one-yard mark, from where Get tie took 1t over. Wallace failed to kick goal. The teams played to a standstill during the next two quarters, but 8 moment of oarelessness In the final frame cost V. P. L the game. Snowday, who was left uncovered, took forward pass from Covington and carried the ball to Techs 12- yard line. Four smashes at the Vir- ginians resulted in the first down. and four more plunges tied the score. Lemon, by placement kick, put Centre ahead. A few minutes later Tech again erred, Lemon recov- ering the ball on the Virginlans 30 yard line after Sutton fumbled. The Praying Colonels gained nine yards on three plunges, and with a minute to go, Covington lifted perfect drop kick over the bars for the three ad- ditional points. The Kentuckians were outplayed throughout virtually the entire game, penalties against Tech on two oc- casions probably keeping the Vir- ginians from winning. On one oc- casion Tech had the ball on Centres four-yard line when they were pen alized 15 yards, and again when within 10 yards of the goal, and only one yard needed for a first down, they were penalized 20 yards.
