Vaino Grayam was the villain as far as Tech was concerned, his siipppssfnl nlaee kick after the second Sumvan touchdown in the second quarter' spelling the final margin of victory. But the big play of the game was that final touchdown. The Arrows had taken a 13 to 12 lead in the second quarter and held it through the third period. 'Tech, driving hard to stay unbeaten, scored with about half the last quarter gone, It took the Arrows just three plays after the kickoff to score with Cal Hilgediek passing to Doyle Spoonmore in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown with just three min utes of the game remaining, and then they held off a desperate Tech team that tried to get another touchdown before the game ended Cal Hilgediek was the offensive standout for the Arrows. .Big Cal carried the ball for the fjrst touchdown, and passed for the oiner two. His punting also set Tech back a couple of times ' when they had driven into Arraw territory, and they lost the . ball on downs. The game was about as even-

Question; Regardless

sup quietly replied that: "The Soviet government still refused to lift the blockade (of. Berlin). The Berlin issue is still a threat to peace." Vishinsky charged the Western powers with raising war fears, with trying to junk the Big Four Foreign Ministers Council, with attempting ' "illegally" to bring the Berlin dispute before the Council, with violating the UN charter and the Potsdam and Yalta agreements. Answers Red. Jessup calmly answered that the latest ncte of the Soviet government suggesting a new meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers on the whole German question had not changed anything. In effect, he rejected the Russian note, and he made clear that the Western powers had no intention of dropping their case against the Soviet Union in the Sechrity Council. Even as the two men spoke, Secretary of State George C. Marshall was meeting with the British and French Foreign Ministers at the French Foreign Office to confirm their rejection of the i Russian proposal, unless the faoviet blockade of Berlin is lifted unconditionally. The Security Council convened, at 3:12 p. m. (9:12 a m. CST) in. an atmosphere as "tense as any of the UN. The Uni'ed States surrendered the chairmanship of the Council to Argentina at the outset of the meeting because of direct concern in the Berlin issue. Council Argues.
