V. E. S. vs. AUGUSTA MILITARY ACADEMY
The Bishops turned a strong pass- ing and running attack into a 20-0 win over the A. M. A. cadets.
Brent Nash recovered a fumble on the A. M. A. 14 yard line and five plays later, C. R. Jones plunged over from the one yard line.
Later in the opening period, Farin- holt hit Jones with a flat pass and Jones scooted to the 16 yard line before he was stopped. Then Farin- holt hit Dillard in the end zone for
the touchdown. McKee's try for the extra point was good.
The final Bishop touchdown came when Farinholt skipped 23 yards around end on an option play. Mc- Kee again tacked on the extra point.
A. M. A. put up a good fight all the way. Their passing attack at times was great, whi le their defense was tough throughout most of the game.
V. E. S. vs. WOODBERRY After being pushed around a bit in the first half, the fighting mad Bishops stormed back in the 3rd period of our homecoming game to defeat the Woodberry Tigers 7-0. Woodberry, a two touchdown favorite before the game, dominated the first half, but it was the Bishops who took charge in
the all-important second half.
The Bishops started their drive on their own 40. Farinholt went around end for 16; Keefer plowed to the Woodberry 32 for the second Ist down in a row.
Cranz then hit Farinholt in the 12 yard line with a pass. The tough half- back was pulled down inches short of the goal line by the Woodberry defenders. Two plays later, Farin- holt took it around end for the score. McKee's placement was good to make the score 7-0.
In the first half a number of Tiger drives were stopped short of the goal. They actually scored once but were called back on a IS yard penalty.
Dilla~d. Matthews, Nash, Jones, Farinholt were all over the field on defense. Credit should go to the en- tire defensive team for their work. The offensive team was responsible for the two long drives by the Bishops. The Bishops managed to run out the game with a 56 yard drive and were on the Woodberry 22 when the game
ended.
V. E. S. vs. ST. CHRISTOPHER A fired-up St. Christopher squad, refreshed from two weeks of rest, bounced the Bishops from the ranks
