Sloppy Ball Control

Sloppy ball control by both
teams was expected due to the
storm. The held (or rather that
portion of it that had not been
washed into the football field) provided
the players with mud, muck,
And mire. This mess accounted for
the overplay of kicking for want of
a better means of handling the ball.

Virginia A, with one of the top
backfields in the east, was hindered
During the match by the incessant
rain. "The rain, more than the
inability to take advantage of first
half thrusts, was the factor most
responsible for the results", said
Jay Waldron, team captain.

John Pearson And Mike Scheer
both performed well in the serum.
The fleet back line, despite the
inclement weather, broke for several
long gains one each from wing
Ronnie Pullam And inside center
Courtney Hoopes.
