The Jayvees finished the season
with 2 losses, a tie, and a win. They tied the season opener with Loving- ston after losing two straight to Brookville and Amherst by 34-6 and 37-13 scores. They journeyed to Ap- pomattox and won 7-6. "Socks" Sib- ley and Gilmer were the outstanding
1
backs as G enn, Ruffin, Jones, and
Shaw Smith stood out in the line. For their win, the Bishops had to come from behind in the last quarter. Sib- ley scored on a 20-yard sprint through the middle of the line. In the last minutes Appomattox drove deep into Bishop territory but here the Bishops dug in and the game ended with the Bishops the victors.
_The 130-lb. team, beaten only by Mdler Park and once by Fort Hill, captured second place in the city l~ague football standings. The Baby B1shops, topped only by Lynchburg's "Mighty Mites," have finished their best season in four years with a 4-3
won and lost record. They have scored 2 wins over Fort Hill and Gug- genheimer each. Largely responsible for the Bishop victories was their line. Led by Jimmy and Blair Farinholt, Gibby Roe, and Jim Kester, the line ha_d d,i,fficulty in holding "The Mighty M1tes only. The running of Duna- vant and Braxton plus the passing of Milton Barber led the Bishop attack. After starting the season off with 2 losses they rebounded for 4 straight wins interrupted by I loss.

ops jumped into the lead in the sec- ond period. Van Noppen climaxed a 70-yard march when he sliced off tackle for 20 yards and a touchdown. His attempted conversion was blocked.
After the halftime intermission Joe Lawson, 128-pou nd halfback from South Boston, took the ball on a hand- off and raced 56 yards for a Bishop
touchdown. Lawson went over tackle and reversed his field, picking up hi; blockers as he ran, and raced the d:s- tance.
V. E. S. fumbled and the Cadets recovered on the Bishop 25-yard line. Four straight offside penalties gave the ball to Miller on the two and after the V. E. S. forward wall had held for
three downs, Carl Cummings plunged over with the score. The conversion sailed wide of the uprights.
In the fourth quorter Van Noppen took off on o 35-yord run and Sonny Pierson sliced his way to the five be- fore Ray carried the boll over in two tries. Van Noppen converted for the second time and the scoring for the game was over.
