GO GET 'EM GANG Upset By Miller
Yesterday, Miller School topped a green V. E. S. team by a 19-7 tally. The speed of the Miller School back- field, together with a comparative sluggishness on the Bishop's team, provided the factors which influenced the win. The first quarter was score- less, a nip and tuck battle all the way. Halfback Ed Hotchkiss bulled over from the 2-yd. line for the tally. Later in the second stanza, Simms of the Cadets scored. The extra point attempt by Davis, the Cadet's full- back, was wide. The third quarter was also scoreless, but Miller School outplayed the Bishop's continually. In the fourth quarter Miller School
cut loose with a running attack that flattened the Bishops and clinched the win. Early in the quarter, Simms of the Cadets broke loose for another TD. The extra point was again far off its mark. Then, in the final minutes, Davis scored, to put the Cadets ahead by a comtortable lead. The extra point was successful, t o con- firm the final score at 19-7. However, the speed of Jim Davidson and Sonny Peirson, conbined with the power run- ning of Joe Barber, provided a con- stant threat to the Cadets.
Bishops Rout Schuyler 37-6
On Saturday, October 13th the Bishops outclassed a fighting Schuyler High School eleven to the tune of 37- 6.
The Bishops elected to kick, and proceeded to gain possession of the ball on a 3rd-down punt by Schuyler, after two fruitless Yellow Jacket pass
gan a long drive climaxed by an IS- yard run by halfback Bob Hughes for the score. Jimmy Davidson con- verted to make the score 7-0.
The alert Bishop defense quelled a Schuyler passing threat with a I 0- yard interception run by Jimmy Davidson. Then the Bishops staged a quick series of pass plays, endinq on the Schuyler 2-yard line, where Hughes again bulled over for the score. The conversion was wide. Later in the second period Schuyler was forced to punt, giving V. E. S. the ball on their own 40-yard line. The Bishops never again lost possession of the ball, and the first half was terminated by an off-tackle score by Chauncey Hutter for the Bishop's third touchdown. A t the half, the score stood at 19-0.
The Bishops entered the second half, armed with a nearly-fresh back- field, and a fired-up line. Early in the period, quarterback Milton Barber staged a spectacula r 26-yard end sweep to the Schuyler 20-yard line. Two plays later, Barber passed to Blair Farinholt for t h e score. The third quarter ended at 25-0.
Early in the last period, quarter- back Tyler of the Yellow Jackets passed to Pete Morris, left end, for the score. Tyler's conversion attempt was missed. Then V. E. S. was forced to punt on fourth down, and Schuyler began a long drive to the Bishop's 20. There Tyler attempted to pass to Hammer. The pass was intercepted by Phil Braxton, who ran 80 yards for the score, and the most spectacular run of the game. The touchdown, however, was nullified by a penalty. Later, Walter Wills crashed over from the one for the fifth Bishop touch-

The Woodberry Forest Game It was a beautiful trip through Virginia Ind ian summer made t o Woodberry Forest on October 20th. The landscape was afire with many fall colors and though it was a tiring I02 mile trip for the team it was not an unpleasant one. We were well re- ceived by students and faculty alike, and well fed, so that the social side
of our trip was pleasant. However, in getting down to the business of playing football we were sorely dis- appointed.
Our game with Woodberry Forest was hard fought from the first. The Bishops were not a team in the first quarter, being very unsettled. Wood- berry combined excellent blocking with a fine passing attack to become the nineteen point leaders of the first quarter. Thouqh worried, the Bishops began to settle down to some real football playing in the last part of the second quarter. Still, in the first half V. E. S. suffered three fumbles, one pass interception, and one blocked punt in the defeat. The Bishops bounced back in the second half. however, led by the able broken-field running of Bob Grubb, who chalked up fortv-four yards. nn
