Then he sent his men through the first of three home drills they will have before entraining for Miami Wednesday night to play the. strong University of Miami Hurricane Friday night. Virginia Tech block ed two of Charlie Justices punts to convert them into touch downs and much of the afternoon was spent in sharpening up the punt ing game.
