founding of the school, the student: hal'e decided to give clothes to the Boys' Home at Covington, Va. Last year Dr. ~ogers, the principal of the home for unfortunate boys, came down to V. E. S. and delivered a very interesting talk in the Lang- horne Memorial Chapel. He told of the Iife that the average boy led
while at th.e home and ended his
talk by askmg the members of the
student body to donate clothes to the Boys' Home.

seems that there was some difficulty in getting all the faculty to agree that it would be a good step to take,
_ _ _ but the immediate interest shown by the students gives the backers of
boxing a firm foothold.
Winter sports are sometimes a
great problem in school life. Being too cold for out-of-doors activities it is necessary to have all forms of exercises inside. Without a doubt basketball is the greatest of indoor sports, but the unfortunate part of this game is that it is impossible to have! more than five on a team. The floor would be far too crowded with any more. So with such a few men playing there is bound to be a sur-
plus of boys who are interested in athletics and who would be glad to have something to do to pass the time away until Spring sports begin. There may be several basketball teams of various sizes, but there will stiII be some boys left over who would like to find other interests.
Boxing is just the sport to take care of this surplus of boys. All of
them, big and small, can be working on the same team, not together, but
holidays would not be out of place
at the ·present time. In the first
place ·a little time for the family, .'~ .
just as Dr. Randolph said in his last
sermon. Although you may not real-
ize it, your family bec'omes very dis- ,
appointed in you if you pay no at- tention to them at all. It is only human nature for those who have lived with you throughout most of your life to want to be with you for at least a short while during the holidays.
We also wish to ask the students to bear in mind that they are the representatives of V. E. S., besides being the best advertisement which the school has. When you go home uphold the standards of the school
in your life. You will enjoy your vacation just as much. This is not an ideal of the school; it is more than that-a custom; and we sin- cerely hope the 1931-32 student body will help it as a custom.

Fishburne Leads With Four Men and E. H. S. Gets Second Place With Three
THE METEOR has, for the first
time in some years, through the
cooperation of the members of the
first team of V. E. S., picked an All-
Opponents' team. Neither coaches
nor sports writers were asked to
poll votes in this selection of grid-
Iron stars of the state, but the play-
ers of the team controlled the bal-
loting. This mode of choice was de-
termined by a vote which was put
to the members of the squad in a
mass meeting. Each of the eleven
first string men was asked to pick
the opponent who was best and next
to best in opposition to him. The
other means of selection which was
suggested was to let each letter
man and each coach pick a first and
second team composed of men who
had shown up best in action against
V. E. S. during the past season, but
the f?rmer method of choosing the
myth1cal eleven was almost a unani-
mous decision on the part of the squad.
.Eight out of nine games played th1s year were major encounters

He is supervising the collectiOn of clothes and is tak- ing a great deal of interest in this work.

A pass from Barrow to Ashton was incomplete, thus bringing the score 26-0. Bar· row kicked off for V. E. S. and Fairview returned it five yards. In the next play the city team lost four
yards on a fumble. Barrow inter· cepted a pass and ran 30 yards for a touchdown. Ashton's line plunge was unsuccessful for the extra point. Barrow1 kicked off and it was returned seven yards.

this team met probably the most
outstanding backfield player in the
State of Virginia for many years in
the person of Captain Harry Mar-
tin. The only thing Martin failed
to do against the Bishops was to
complete two field goals which he
attempted during the cour~e of the
day. He punted well, but returned
the boot of Young and RJndolph
better. On one play, after appar-
ently being down, he was od the
hurling end of a completed 40-yard
pass. The real feature oi his play
was his running, for he kept the
cadets within striking distance
through all but five minutes of the
game. That time was jt!st ,nough
to enable the Bishops to tie the
score after Martin had stepped
twelve yards through thent to scor
and add the extra point with a neat drop-kick.
