RUSTON, La. - The most thrilling game of the home season was Tech's 26 to 0 conquest of the Marshall College Big Green. After a first quarter played in the middle of the field, Marshall took over, and it appeared that their speed and trickery might be too much for the Techsters. The West Virginians made their deepest penetration into Tech territory in the second quarter, when Johnny Perritt caught a Marshall pass-receiver from behind on the Bulldog 20.

In the second half, though, Tech took over. The Canines penetrated deep into Green territory, and after being set back momentarily by a fumble, ploughed through to the first score of the game as Albritton waltzed over from the four yard line.

John Perritt ran 80 yards from scrimmage to the Marshall goal, but stepped out of bounds on the 20. As the final quarter began, Harelson took it over from the one. Freshman Hollis Jones added the two remaining markers on last period jaunts of 23 and 17 yards.

Tech's line play was brilliant in its own territory. First downs favored the Bulldogs, 15 to 10.
