THE CADET ISSUED BY THE CORPS OF VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE VOL. XVII. LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1923 No. FLYING CADETS TROUNCE VIRGINIA ON LAMBETH FIELD AGAIN BY 35-0 V. M. I. Smothers University of Virginia For Second Consecutive Year By Huge Score Orange and Blue is Completely Outclassed at Every Stage of the Game and Fails to Score on Squadron For Second Successive Time TRIP TO CHARLOTTESVILLE WAS ENJOYABLE ONE TO CORPS FROM EVERY POINT OF VIEW Before a large crowd, emanated at between 10,000 and 12.000 people, the Flying Squadron trampled the University of Virginia under foot on Lambeth Field Saturday for the second con-secutive time by the score cf 35 to 0. Incidentally, it was the second straight year that the Orange and Blue has failed to register a point against a V. M. I. eleven. Virginia made a brave stand in the first quarter, but once the Flying Cadets got their end runs, line plunges, and for-ward passes under way, there was no denying the Lexington machine, and V. M. I. counted in every period thereafter. The defeat was a crushing one to Virginia, as they were outplayed and outgeneraled at every stage of the game. "Benny" Arnold, the Oraimg ; end Blue star drop-kicker, had but one chance t o try his toe, and he failed miserably on that one attempt. The University worked several pretty passes for long gains, but when they got within striking distance of the Cadets' goal posts, the final punch was lacking, and the Cadet line held like a stone wall. The real feature of the spectacular battle was the lightning finish of the Flying Squadron who counted three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the last one coming with only ten seconds of time left in which to play. " W i n d y " White kicked every goal after touchdown, and thus gave V. M. I. f i v e points. Outplayed in every stage of t h e game, the Orange and Blue of Virginia suffered one of the worst defeats in its history at the hands of the Cadets last Saturday by the score of 35 to 0. Virginia's defense was pow-erless, the V. M. I. backs break-ing through the line at will and counting long gains on nearly every attempt. The line ripped great holes in the Virginia first line of defense, and the back-f i e l d of the victorious Cadets ploughed through for five touchdowns. For the first period, Virginia •was able to hold the Cadets scoreless, but f r om then on, Vir-ginia was helpless. The first half ended with the count 7 to 0 in V. M. I.'s favor, after Ed Ryder had snagged a pass from White o p i o f the air for our f i r s t touchdown. In the second part of the game, V. M.

FLYING CADETS TROUNCE VIRGINIA
ON LAMBETH FIELD AGAIN BY 35-0
V. M. I. Smothers University of Virginia
For Second Consecutive Year By
Huge Score
Orange and Blue is Completely Outclassed at Every
Stage of the Game and Fails to Score on Squadron
For Second Successive Time
TRIP TO CHARLOTTESVILLE
WAS ENJOYABLE ONE TO CORPS
FROM EVERY POINT OF VIEW
Before a large crowd, emanated at between 10,000 and 12.000 people, the Flying Squadron
trampled the University of Virginia under foot on Lambeth Field Saturday for the second con-secutive
time by the score cf 35 to 0. Incidentally, it was the second straight year that the
Orange and Blue has failed to register a point against a V. M. I. eleven. Virginia made a brave
stand in the first quarter, but once the Flying Cadets got their end runs, line plunges, and for-ward
passes under way, there was no denying the Lexington machine, and V. M. I. counted in
every period thereafter.
The defeat was a crushing one to Virginia, as they were outplayed and outgeneraled at every
stage of the game. "Benny" Arnold, the Oraimg ; end Blue star drop-kicker, had but one chance
t o try his toe, and he failed miserably on that one attempt.
The University worked several pretty passes for long gains, but when they got within striking
distance of the Cadets' goal posts, the final punch was lacking, and the Cadet line held like a
stone wall.
The real feature of the spectacular battle was the lightning finish of the Flying Squadron
who counted three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the last one coming with only ten seconds
of time left in which to play.
" W i n d y " White kicked every goal after touchdown, and thus gave V. M. I. f i v e points.
Outplayed in every stage of
t h e game, the Orange and Blue
of Virginia suffered one of the
worst defeats in its history at
the hands of the Cadets last
Saturday by the score of 35 to
0. Virginia's defense was pow-erless,
the V. M. I. backs break-ing
through the line at will and
counting long gains on nearly
every attempt. The line ripped
great holes in the Virginia first
line of defense, and the back-f
i e l d of the victorious Cadets
ploughed through for five
touchdowns.
For the first period, Virginia
•was able to hold the Cadets
scoreless, but f r om then on, Vir-ginia
was helpless. The first
half ended with the count 7 to
0 in V. M. I.'s favor, after Ed
Ryder had snagged a pass from
White o p i o f the air for our
f i r s t touchdown.
In the second part of the
game, V. M. I. opened up a be-wildering
assortment of plays
and the University eleven was
literally smothered beneath the
superior attack of the Flying
Squadron.

EDITORS OF HANDBOOK
Experienced Men Are On Staff,
and Bullet Is Expected To Be
Up To the Usual Standard
This Year.
The myriad of details that
were encountered in the begin-ning
of the 1925 Bullet have
been worked out, and at the
present time everything is run-ning
along as well as could be
expected.
The Bullet is to be organized
and developed in a very syste-matic
manner this year. At
the meeting of the editorial
staff last Sunday, a complete
plan of the Bullet was agreed
upon and every man is working
diligently on the first section.
Each section will be worked out
in turn and it is the hope of the
staff that all work will be ready
f o r the printer before the
Christmas holidays.
The literary and business
staff of the Bullet is composed
of competent men who have had
more or less experience in their
respective departments. They
are as follows:
Editor-in-Chief—R. W. Wells.
Assistant Editor — F. K.
