  Mapp PAGES VMI To 14-O Victory CHARLESTON. S. c., Oct. 10. - Virginia Military Institute, spanked by the eel-like running of Johnny Mapp and Charlie Lavery, spoiled The Citadel’S Homecoming celebration today with 14–⁠0 victory over the Bulldogs. Mapp, who leads the Southern Conference in scoring with SO points, got off the games longest run, a 52-yard touchdown jaunt in the first period, and rolled up an impressive 116 yards by himself. Lavery, a sub halfback, reeled off several gains of more than 20 yards and was a thorn in the Bulldogs side all afternoon. The Citadel. while threatening several times, was never able to advance closer than the VMI 24-yard line. Mapp brought the crowd of $500 to it’s feet early in the game when he took a ch-out, eluded two would-be tacklers at the line of scrimmage, cut to the right side line and scooted to score unmolested.
