From the Sidelines
By J. W. Ballou, Jr.
As it is the custom of the Sports
Editor of "The Meteor" to pick the Bishops' All-Opponent team, here is
the 1946 edition.
LE-Peterson, Woodberry Forest-
Favorite pass receiver and dangerous on end-arounds.
LT-Philips, Woodberry Forest- The work horse in a powerful line.
LG-Gregory, E. H. S.-Fifth man in the Bishops' backfield all afternoon. C-Conway, R.-M. A .- Rugged line backer and leader of a band of
scrappy "Yellow Jackets." RG-Davenport, St. Christopher's
-Constantly breaking up plays be- fore they had a chance to start.
RT-Traugh, R.-M. A .- One of the most polished performers who came against the Bishops all year.
RE-Dilweg, E. H. S.-His end was not turned all afternoon.
Back-Davidson, W oodberry For-
starting lineup when the opening game with Bedford H igh School rolls around on January 18, as there are several boys who are still showing the effects of football and some more who are slow in gaining an eye for the basket. The five vets are "Bunny" Kemper, Tom Allen, Jim Ballou, John Hyre, and Johnny Gay; while at this writing the new boy crop is head- ed by AI Craft, Tommy Flemer, George Caffrey, Bob Whitaker, and the Warren twins.
The junior teams, IS years and un- der 17 years and under, under the direction of Mr. Phelps and Mr. Wy- att, are expected to enter city league competition this year as has been the custom.
