  moved into a TO lead on a 2 yard touchdown plunge by Mickey Marenkov. For a while it looked as though it might be another gloomy afternoon for the oft-disappointed VPI eleven. However, Halfback Alger Pugh brought the Gobbler rooters to their feet in the second quarter when he took a Richmond punt on his SO and sidestepped his way 81 yards through the whole Spider team. Barry Frazee split the uprights and the score was TT. From then on it was the Gobblers all the way. End John Moody set up the next Tech score when he fell on a Spider tumble on the Richmond 30.
