Pearson; Emory; Quillen; and Wolf. the field behind them at will. The Bishops made their only touchdown on a line plunge by Buck Nutt which was set up by a beautiful fifty-yard pass from Hal Jackson to Ronnie Marshall. The Garnet and White scored a safety when Warren Moody after 'ntercepting a pass stepped out of the end zone in the closing minutes of the game. The small but f:ghting Bishops did well on offense but were not able to stop the power- ful Saints in their ever successful ground attack. Outstanding for the Bishops were Hal Jackson and Buck Nutt 'n the backfield, and Stuart Har- ris and Ronnie Marshall in the line.
This last game brought the success- ful B'shop team to four wins and three losses. This record is one of the best in Cjuite a few years.

I'm A Parrott By John Duke

A more bloodthirsty parrott never s a i l e d t h e S p a n i s h M a i n . l "v e s e n t more men across the barnacles for the pleasure of pouring salt on them than Kidd ever had flogged. Aye, and here's something else you won't find 'n your history books: it was I that made Kidd what he was. There was- ntadaywentbybutwhatwe'dsend a score of men off the plank.
All good men have made mistakes, a n d Kidd m a d e his. They g o t him just off the Keys but I made a break and got as far as Tortuga before they
got me.
I'm doing a life sentence in Mor-
gans pet shop where they've had me perched on a masthead for ten years or more.
If you ever get down to Largo, don't tell the boys about this, but a past night ago I was in a fashion show with no less than a blue ribbon around my neck.
All I've heard for the past few years is, "Polly wants a cracker." Let me tell Jou now, my name "ain't" Polly an I hate crackers. I've drunk my grog with the best of them, and if I was back under the black flag I would have had this guy Morgan keelhaul'd ten times for every day
