The First Class President added that sometimes its not fun to be a third espe- cially because of things that happen like being put on confinement. The confine- ment was also meant to be a message to the rest of the Corps. It had been rumored that it could become a GC offense to sit during the football game. Both Burke and Randall said that It Is the job of the corps to "police our own" and for everyone to tell each other to stand at the game. If it happens to be a third telling a second, first or even one of the Rats that they cannot sit at the game, then so be it. Read This From U.The National College Maglzlne

VMI's strong kicking game was ineffective and they had to rely on short passes and runs. W&L scored a try on a controversial offsides as VMI was driving WARNING: Dialing Zero to Call Your Family Collect down the field. At halftime, the score was W&L 10 - VMI 0.

A few minutes later. Matt KrempI dove in for his first try, but another failed kick left the score Ued at 10. In the final two minutes, VMI was awarded a penalty deep in W&L territory.
