All of this is not to say that VPI
played an errorless game. Leading
12-10 they made two turnovers, a
fumble recovery by Carolina's Jim
Bass and an interception by cor
nerback Bruce Duke, in VPI
territory to lead to two USC scores,
which apparently gave the Biddies
a safe 24-12 lead in the fourth
quarter.
Bass joined in the comedy of

punt into the hands of VPI's
Hardee, who grabbed the ball in
mid-air at the USC 45 and sprinted
the rest of the way for the touch

Still the Gobblets needed another

all the skill of paraplegics, did not
make an extra-point all night.
