THE CADET I S S U E D BY THE CORPS OF VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE You, Big Team VOL. XVII. LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1923 No. 3 Flying Squadron Holds Golden Tornado to Narrow Margin GEORGIA TECH REMAINS UNBEATEN ON THEIR OWN SOD Georgia Tech 10, V. M. I. 7 Game Were Long Runs by Faulkner and Wycoff V. M. I. WINS LAURELS IN RIFLE MEET AT CAMP PERRY IN SEPT. In one of the most spectacular games ever seen on Grant Field, the Golden 'Tornado of Georgia Tech nosed out the Flying Squadron of V. M. I. by the close score of 10 to 7. A crowd of some ten thousan 1 were thrilled f r om time to time by spectacular plays on both si.les such as Faulkner's 84 yard and W y c o f f ' s 85 yard run f o r touch-downs. With a line greatly weakened by the loss of Smiley Denton, the Big Team fought grimly and the outcome was in doubt until the final blast of the whis-tle. Every man played a wonder-ful game and we are proud of them. Fats Hammond and Tom McCracken f r om time to time broke up the Tech defense and smeared the backs for big loss-es; Charlie Barbour and Clem-ents proved to be stonewalls of defense and did equally as well on the offensive; Cherry Wat-kins and Tuck Carlton ably guarded their wings from the Tech attack; Gene Ferguson played his usual flawless game at center; Hobby Wilson, sub-stituting for Ferguson, showed up to a great advantage. Wert Faulkner, Klebo Attwell, Snail Caldwell, Windy White, and Ed Ryder again proved that they were the best set of backfield men ever seen at V. M. I. Wert Faulkner was probably the out-standing star of the backfield. With his generalship, ability to make a sure and hard tackle, and his spectacular run of 84 yards for a touchdown, Wert should make a strong bid for an All-Southern berth. For Tech, Wycoff, mainstay of last year's Freshman team, was by far the outstanding star. Williams and Reeves also played good games in the back-field. In the line, perhaps Gardner was the most promi-nent. The Game In Detail. V. M. I. wins the toss and elects to defend the south goal. Tech kicks off to Faulkner who returns 15 yards where he was downed by Usry; White punted to Tech's one-foot line, downed Cadets Are Represented On R. -Features of the T- c- Rif,e Teams Ry J- M-Yates, H.

On next play Wycoff intercepted a forward pass and ran 85 yards for a touchdown; Wycoff kicked goal. Score— Georgia Tech, 7; V. M. I., 0. Play — an open formation, Attwell got 1 yard through right guard; Caldwell crawled under Tech's line for 7 yards; White punted to Hunt.who was downed on his own 2 yard line by Faulkner; Williams failed to gain over right tackle; Wycoff got 2 over right tackle, Mc- Cracken tackling. The quarter T. C. students at Camp Meade, Md., according to their rank in competitive scores recorded in the course of rifle marksman-ship held there. In compliance with orders issued by the War Department, these msn report-ed to the camp set aside f o r this purpose as members of the 3rd Corps Area Rifle Team on Sep-tember 1st. Here Jhey met with the most favorable conditions possible. The camp is situated some eighty miles north of Cleve-land, Ohio, on the shore of Lake Erie. It is spacious and commands a striking view of the lake. There are f i v e main ranges consisting of one hun-dred targets each. One range is devoted to pistol shooting, one to shot gun or trapshooting, and three at 200, 600, and 1,000 yards, devoted to the use of the r i f l e . Separated f r om these is a smaller 300 meter range for the use of International .Matches. The camp itself is composed of three sections: the "Squaw" Camp, the Instructor's Camp, ' and lastly, the Competitors' Camp.

The exterior work has been entirely completed and now the walls of the new wing have been stuccoed in such a manner as to have identically the same ap-pearance as those of the old. Interior work has begun and it is now well under w a y ; in fact the f i r s t and second stoops have been virtually completed and the rooms are now ready for immediate occilpancy. It only remains for a f ew finishing touches, such as the laying of the floor and "installation of electric and plumbing fixtures, to be added to those of the third and fourth stoop and they will then have been completed. The Alumni Hall, of neces-sity, is somewhat behind from the point of view of progress. The interior walls are being plastered and it should not be long before this work is also finished.

The entire construction job, according to the foreman, should be completed by Christmas. In this new wing, fourteen new rooms, consisting of twelve double rooms and two single rooms, have been added to each stoop, making a total of f i f t y* six new rooms. These, how-ever, are somewhat smaller than those in the older wings of barracks, having as their din mensipns, 15 f t . 2 in. by 16 ft* 2 in., but by reason of the pro-posed plan of placing four men in a double room and two men in a single room, ample accommo-dations will be afforded. The first floor of the Alumni Hall will be used as a lobby, the remaining three being taken up with many bed-rooms and baths.

The departure of these men to other walks of life has been keenly felt by every member of the Class and each one will always have a soft spot in his heart f o r his Brother Rat. The loss of these men has been like a dull pain, but the great shock of all came when word was received that two former members of the present Second Class had met with a disastrous accident. No particulars of the tragedy have been obtained and all we know is that two of our beloved class brothers have passed on to the Great Beyond. Every man in the Corps who knew Dick Brandon and Bobby Paxton appreciated their friendliness, understand-ing and will to work f o r the benefit of their associates. The Corps of Cadets extends its heartfelt sympathy to the parents of these men, and it is the sincere wish of every man to share the feeling of irreparable loss that has been caused by this untimely tragedy.
