At least one of the Eng- lish schools, the County School for Boys at Beckenham and Penge, has been repeatedly bombed with re- sulting casualties and deaths to members of both school and faculty.

Well the middle of the season has rolled around. and finds the Bishops with a good record. Last year's famed passing combination of Lee- to-Perry, has again proved deadly
to all opposition, so far this year. Lee has passed to Capt. Perry to set up or score all Bishop touch-
downs.
The team has proved to be a
good one, having beaten 1\Iiller School 26-13, and Hargrave 13-0. But it really showed as it came near to defeating W oodberry Forest's famed T formation. only to have the Tigers score in the closing min- utes of the game to deadlock the
