Tide Turns

During the intermission Coach
Alderman got together with varsity
defensive expert Don Lawrence
and solved the VMI offense. He
also decided to leave the bulk of
the attack in the hands of Heyward,
and he proved more than
equal to the task.

The first score of the second
half came by way of a 72-yard
punt return by Terry Bell, who
was sprung by a sensational Bub
Shreave block.

After that it was all Heyward,
grinding out yardage and time, and
setting up the final three scores
by Andy Selfridge, Bill Shamel,
and Jim Carrington, the last on a
Kettunen pass.
