\ g f o ^ . l t U l C a b c t VOLUME XLII V.M.I., LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, OCTOBER 1, 1951 ~ NUMBER 2 Flying Squadron Tops Richmond 34-0 Keydet Eleven Tallies in All Four Quarters State Dept. Offers Aid for Foreign Study Opportunities for more than 700 Americans to undertake graduate study or research abroad during the 1952-1953 academic year un-der the terms of the Fulbright Act have been announced by the Department of State. Countries in which study grants are available are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Burma, Egypt, France, Greece, India, Iran, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, Turkey and the United Kingdom. The awards will enable students in all fields of graduate work and those with specialized research projects to study in foreign in stitutions and universities under renowned professors and special-ists. Grants also are available to students of accomplishment in such fields as music, art archi-i tecture, and drama. A few oppor-tunities in workers' education and social work are provided in the United Kindgdoms. Grants are normally made for one academic year and generally include round trip transportation, tuition or a living allowance and a small amount for necessary books and equipment. All grants under the Act are made in foreign currencies. Cadets who are interested are instructed to see Colonel Fuller in the History Department im-mediately as the closing date for receipt of applications by the Ful-bright Program Advisor is Octo-ber 15. Orange and Black Featured Colors At Opening Hops With Opening Dances less than two weeks away the Hop Commit-tee has made elaborate plans to give the Corps a sample of the fine entertainment that has been planned for this year. For this Opening set the gymnasium will be decorated in colorful Hallo-ween colors of orange and black, a color scheme that has been quite popular in the past, but one that the present corps has yet to wit-ness. Music for the Hops will be supplied by Dean Hudson—A band leader popular at colleges through-out the South. Larger Attendance With the entrance of a larger rat class this year, the Hop Com-mittee hopes that the attendance at the Hops will increase consider-ably and enable the Corps to secure the top bands in the nation for the remaining dances this year. Tickets will go on sale with-in the next week, and may be secured from any member of The Hop Committee. For the information of the new cadets, on Hop weekends all men with dates are allowed to be ab-sent from barracks from the com-pletion of m i l i t a r y duty on Friday afternoon until 8:30 that night in order to dine with their dates in Lexington. Following the dance, all men with dates are allowed one hour and a half before returning to barracks. This applies to the Saturday night dance as well. Added Attractions Besides the two Hops, the Corps will have an added attraction on October 13th, when the Univer-sity of Virginia plays Washington and Lee at Wilson Field. With VMI having no game scheduled for this weekend, the cadets will have the opportunity of seeing one of the top games in the Southern Conference this year. Corps Leaves On Friday To Witness Grid Clash At W&M's Cary Field Curley Powell, led by big Jack Frankeberger, circles his own right end for twenty yards and Keydets first touchdown in the Saturday night slaughter of the Richmond Spiders. The score came after only four minutes of play and five offensive tries by the Big Red. Final score-VMI 34; UR C. -Courtesy Richmond Times-Dispatch Lt. Col. Richard Irby, VMI '39 Receives Silver Star In Korea! Also Awarded Legion of Merit Lt. Col. Richard R. Irby, Class of '39, was recently awarded The Legion of Merit (Oak-Leaf Clus-ter) and the Silver Star while serving in the Far East Command according to a letter received Fri-day by Lt. Col. S. L. Weinerth, PMS&T. Colonel Irby was a mem-ber of the R.O.T.C. staff at VMI from 1948 until the fall of 1950, and was in charge of the Armor section. The Legion of Merit citation states that Col. Irby, who was transferred from VMI to the GHQ in Japan, "distinguished himself by exceptionally meritorious ser-vice as Chief, Plans and Require-ments Branch, Korean Economic Aid, G4 Section, General Head-quarters, Far East Command, from 25 October 1950 to 20 March, 1951." It further explains that is was largely through his profession-al ability that much of the pre-vention of disease, starvation and unrest during a critical phase of the Korean fighting was made possible. In conclusion the cita-tion stated, "His exemplarly con-duct reflects utmost credit on himself and the military Service." It was while commanding a bat-talion of the 1st Cavalry Division in Korea that Col. Irby was award-ed, by direction of the President, the Silver Star for gallantry in action. The action in which the VMI alumnus distinguished him-self occurred 25 June, 1951 near Yonchon, Korea with Col. Irby's entire battalion being engaged in patrol action with the mission of contacting and destroying the enemy. s The Silver Star citation states, "Col. Irby, disregarding his per-sonal safety, moved through the hail of bullets to a forward posi (Continued On Page 2) Lt. Asli Harrison Directs Glee Club For '52 Season The executive committee of the glee club as well as the many others who compose the main body of the organization have been wondering for some time who would be elected to take the place left by Col. H. N. Dillard, the former director. A new system was worked out by which the responsibility of running glee club activities was divided between three separate units—the executive committee, Lt. Ash Harrison, and Capt. Wil-liam Byers. The executive com-mittee will continue to function in its usual manner, while Lt. Harrison will act as director, and Capt. Byers will act as supervisor and aid in all functions. Lt. Harrison was a member of the club during his cadetship and often took over the job of director during practices when Col. Dillard found it impossible to be present. The lieutenant was also captain of the regimental band during his first class year and has an excellent knowledge of music. Captain Byers who has recently returned from a leave of absence similiar to the one Col. Dillard has just begun, will serve pri-marily as advisor. Dividing the responsibility between Capt. Byers and Lt. Harrison will lighten the burden of both men and will give them more time to see to their particular duties. This year the club has art ex- Continued From Page 2 Williamsburg, site of the William & Mary game, was chosen as the destination of the 1951 corps trip at a corps meeting Friday night. Thus the orginal decision to go to Atlanta and the Georgie Tech game which was made on Septem-ber 19 was nulified in view of the corps inability to meet the mini-mum attendance quoto set by the superintendent-. At a meeting on the previous night, costs of transportation to and from Atlanta, food, game tickets, and other items were dis-cussed. It was pointed out that the Institute would provide each at-tending cadet with 3 box lunches and $3 subsistence. A final count of those willing to make the Atlanta trip was taken which determined that the quota of 600 cadets could not be reached. At the Friday meeting Colonel Pancake presented some facts con-cerning the possibility of a Wil-liamsburg trip to the corps. He stated that buses would leave barracks at 2 o'clock Friday after-noon, that the first night would be spent in Richmond, and that the Corps would be transported to Williamsburg on Saturday, after which it would attend the game and then return to Richmond. The bus fare was said to be about $8 round trip. Following the game cadets will be free until 1 o'clock Sunday when they will board buses to return to the Institute late that evening. While in Richmond cadets will stay at the homes of various cadets and alumni. Pro-visions have also been made for others to spend Friday and Satur-day night at the Howitzer Armory. The VMI Keydets travelled to Richmond this past Saturday fol-lowed by many avid fans and alumni. The Squadron showed their supporters what they were made of as they ripped through a highly spirited Richmond eleven 34-0. The squadron started early in the game to show the Richmonders that they meant business. Backs, Chumbley, Powell, Marchand, and Birge reeled off gains which put the Keydets closer to the Rich-mond goal line; however, the of-ficials were working in opposition and the penalties kept our boys from scoring until four minutes after the initial kick-off. The cli-max of the drive, which covered 65 yards, was Curley Powell's sweeping end run for a TD. Again in the first period, the Big Red threatened, when they re-covered a Richmond fumble on the UR 30. The fumble was the result of a bad pass from center. Several bad centers hampered the Spiders all night in their attempts to punt. From the Spider's 30 the Keydets went to the 19, but fumbles plagued the hard running Tom Birge and the Spiders capitilized as they recovered and moved up field on a series of runs by Johns and Purinai. The Richmonders couldn't get started as they found George St. John and Stu Felvey continually in their way. In the second period, the VMI backs put on another dazzling dis-play of speed as they drove from the UR 40 to pay dirt. This second touchdown came as a result of an end sweep by quarterback March-and. The Spiders had an opportunity to do some scoring, if they were going to do any, when they re-covered Kinslow's fumble on the VMI 34. But the Big Red chargers led by St. John, Felvey, and Box-ley kept breaking up any progress the Spiders were trying to make. When the first half ended the Key-dets were leading 13-0. It was not until late in third quarter that the VMI scoring machine began to operate again. This time it was by air as Billy Brehany tossed to end Jay Grumb-ling good for a total of 26 yards and a third Keydet touchdown. This same pass play was good for scores against Cincinnati and Wof-ford on previous Saturday after-noons. Once the machine started hit-ting It didn't stop until the jack-pot rang up two more scores. The first of two came in the early part of the fourth quarter as Edgar Woy played "quarterback sneak" and romped around end with the ball hidden from the opponents and scored. The other T.D. drive came after Kinslow intercepted a UR pass and returned it to their 35. From that point the quarter-back Brehany started filling the air with passes. Brehany then decided to run around end. He swept the end for seven yards unmolested for the final VMI tally. The clock then showed only 45 seconds remaining in the game. George Chumbley and Stu Fel-vey both Richmonders seemed to have been inspired by their home town crowd as they both performd magnificently. Chumbley was stel-lar both on defense and offense. VMI U.R.
