JoHNSON FIELD, October 4.-The V. E. S. Bishops opened what ap- pears to be a very successful season on the gridiron, by overpowering a fighting Miller School eleven 34-6 this afternoon. This score by no
means indicated the true battle, how-
ever, because Miller School made
five first downs to the Bishops'
three, while the Bishops had only a
ve:y slight edge in total yards
gamed. Several fumbles in the first
quarter by Miller School put the
game on ice for the Bishops, be-
cam·e two touchdowns resulted from reco vering these.
The game was highlighted by long runs. In the first quarter, Cul- len Walker scored for V. E. S. on a reverse from the Miller 29-yard line. In the second quarter Don
Waddell, of Miller School, went over right tackle for 32 yards, until he was finally pulled down from be- hind by Tommy Urquhart. This
