LARSEN'S LEG TECH HIGHLIGHT IN SCRIMMAGE

Four field goals by Atle Larsen accounted for all the scoring Saturday night as Virginia Tech staged its first scrimmage of preseason football practice.

Larsen made field goals of 27, 36, 32 and 31 yards, and missed on attempts of 34 and 33 yards.

Quarterback Jim Druckenmiller led the offense, completing four of 10 passes for 64 yards. Bryan Still caught three passes for 95 yards to lead the receivers.

The defense played strong and was led by Torrian Gray and unheralded tackle Kerwin Hairston, who had four tackles each.

Linebacker Tony Morrison, whose suspension from the university was lifted on Friday, did not play. He will undergo a physical examination and join the team for Monday's workout.
