High expectations of the V. E. S. varsity basketball team were crushed on Saturday, January 15, when Lex- ington High School handed them a 3j-26 defeat. The game was played in the Barksdale Gymnasium at V. E. S., and, as usual, began at 3 :30.
V. E. S. Confident
Although confident of victory over
the small Lexington team, the Bish- ops soon found that their task would not be an easy one. They soon found that while the visiting team was very small, they were excep-
tionally fast.
In the first few seconds of play
a penalty was incurred by V . E. S. for walking with the ball, and L. H. S. got two shots, the second of which was good. Roberts complied with the L. H. S. point with a goal.

Lexington Scores
Not far behind the Bishops' score came three Lexington scores by Swink, Smith and Goforth. A foul
on V. E. S. gave L. H. S. two tnes which the visitors failed to make good.
The quarter ended with an 11-7 score.in favor of the high school.
Wtth the opening of the second quarter V. E. S. started a fast rush which carried them to the visitors' goal, but there they lost the ball, and as it happened time and time again Lexington came back to the home goal under sure passing. Brown shot L. H. S.'s thirteenth pomt. Smith passed to Swink, who added two more points to the visi- tors' 13. Then for the first time in the game V. E.
