    WILLIAM & MARY WINS OVER VIRGINIA TECH RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 13-R- A big, strong William and Mary football team working with the smoothness of experience, easily defeated a green Virginia Tech eleven in City Stadium today, 80 to 0. A crowd of 5000 saw the contest. The Indian backfield composed of Nick Forkovitch, Tom Korczowski, Stan Magdziak and Chef Mac Kiewicz clicked on the offense to score in every quarter while the William and Mary line, yielding occasionally in midfield, was a stone wall when the Techmen en-. tered Indian territory.
