game a\\ay from home, the Bishops trounced the cadets of Fishburne ~Iilitary School 41-24 in a wild-scoring contest on Fish- burne Field.
As in the foregoing games, the passing combination of '·Rock'' Lee to Capt. "l.Iole" Perry paved the way for the Bishops. The Fishburne secondary was unable to gel the glue off Perry's hands.

Bishops Humble High School
The annual classic between V. E. S. and Episcopal High School ended in a 6-0 victory for the Bishops. Played in a high wind. which either lengthened or shortened most of the kicks, the game was one of the hard- es.t-fought contests in years. The B1shops avenged last year's defeat and added another victory to the im- pressive string of victories for the 1944 season. However the Bishops have defeated the Alexandrians three out of the last four years.

S. started a sustained drive with Don \Vest leading the wav. As Epi::,copaladvancedontheV~E.S. goal line, the fighting Bishop's line began to close up. They held for four downs on the 19. After a try at the line, Lee got off a quick kick that caught the wind and rolled out of bounds on the E. II. S. 21. West's punt met the wind going the wrong way and went out of bounds on the E. IT. S. 40. Lee faked a pass and was finally downed on the 24. Two passes to Perry put the ball on the
