In the second period Tech was con. stantly on the defense! Virginia topped Columbia, 6 to 0, at the end of the first half. Columbia came back from the very brink of defeat to win the game. The fourth period was three minutes old before Columbia came up on even terms with the Cavaliers. Even then. Columbia encountered all sorts of difficulty holding Virginia in check. 61-Yard Sprint Then a 61-yard sprint to Virginia’s 17-yard line gave Columbia chance to score a field goal. putting Columbia out in front.
