it could easily be seen that they had never played before. Only about four out of the entire twenty had played before, or knew anything about the game.

companied by MacFarland, the man- ager, traveled to Solem to play the first game in the history of Virginia Episcopal School. •
The boys trotted out on the field o few minutes before the referee's whistle, like old veterans, but it could easily be seen when the opoosing team came out that they outweighed our team fifteen or twenty pounds to the man.
Although ploying against a more experienced team, and out-weiqhed greotly. the boys from "The Rid')e" put up a plucky fight.
Our lads left the field defeated by the score of 53-0, but by no means disgraced. The work of Johnson, who was later elected coptoin, was su- perior in the game.
Second Game
On November 4th Virginia Episco- pal School won its second qame by defeating New London Academv by o 22-0 score on Episcopal's athletic field.
The Eoiscopol lads were out- weighed fifteen to twenty pounds to the man, but with this aqainst them they played rinqs around New Lo,. don from the time the first whistle blew until the last.
On the offense the EpiscooaI back- field was unusually strong, this beinn evidenced by the foct that the cchool was never forced to punt. while the visiting team resorted to this fe>~twe of the gome frequently, but with lit- tle success.
Captain Heflin played the stnr oame for the academy te"r"l. whiiP. the work of Me11d, Hink R. He"--1- enreich and R<~dford, tL.,e "8'" t>~c~le. was a feature for the winning team.
BOY SCOUTS
Juniors and Seniors
Troop 7, the V. E. S. troop, is get- ting under way with new boys and new pions. A movement is under way to provide senior leadership to Troop 25 of the Presbyterian Orphans Home, combining some of the activ- ities of the two troops, in order to increase the efficiency of both. This plan was suggested as a result of the co-operation of the two groups of boys on the doy of the 7th War Loan parade in the spring.
Under the leadership of Mr. Mil- ton, Air Scout Squadron 7-A is being organized in the school. The group has ordered books which will be used for ground school instruction, to be held weekly on Saturday afternoons. Later it is hoped that actual flying may be possible for those boys who receive parental permission.
Mr. Milton will be assisted by a V. E. S. boy, Lewis Bristow, who holds a civilian pilot's license. He received his flight instruction at the Municipal Airport ot W est Point, Virginia.
A joint ceremony in the V. E. S. chapel is planned for the near future by H. F. Cotey, local scout executive. At this meeting the two units will be formally inducted, and an Eagle Scout badge will be presented to Beverly Barge of Durham, North Carolina.
