J. V. FOOTBALL GAMES
The V. E. S. Baby Bishops romped over an over-rated Brookville Junior V a r s i t y t e a m 4 1 - 0 . Bill T h o m a s r a n twenty yards around left end for the first score of the gridiron classic. The pass from Dick Moss to Bill Hull was good for the extra point. The next score was made when Dick Moss went on a spread run to the right and the extra point was good from Moss to Hull on a pass. We scored our third touchdown on another spread pass from Quarterbock Boss to Bill Hull, who galloped for eighty yards and the T.D. Then Joy White ran off tackle for the third extra point. After a gruelling fight on the ground for the fourth T.D., Lee Jen-
kins ran for fifteen yards on an off tackle play. Bill Hull scored the extra point by a quicky pass.
Frisky Freyer went over to make the score 34-0, but the extra point was not good. Then a beautiful block by John Darden put out two men and Dempsey Hodges made the final touchdown. Darden caught the quicky pass and made the extra point, mak- ing the fina l score 41-0.
The Junior Varsity, for their next game, went to Appomattox, but the game was rained out when they were ready to play.
The Baby Bishops ended the sea- son in a hard fought tie with Nelson County High School. The score was
13-13. Most of our plays were on the ground through the line. The first T.D. was made by Bill Thomas on an off tackle play spirited by wonder- ful blocking by Max Mittendorff and Chip Wood. He ran for forty yards. Bill Hull caught a quickie pass for the extra point. Then N. C. H. S. scored to tie the ball game up 7-7. Bill Thomas again galloped for fifty- five yards off left tackle, but the extra point was no good.
N. C. H. S. scored again, but the fine defensive work of our line pre- vented them from getting the extra point. From then on, the game re- mained a tie, but many close plays were had by both teams. This final game gave the Junior Varsity foot- ball team a 3-1-1 record, which is quite good. All players, even those not on the first string, should be commended for their fine work in helping the Baby Bishops have a suc- cessful season.
ALL-OPPONENT TEAM
This year's all-opponent is made up of players from five teams, most of whom enjoyed beating the pants off the Bishops in V. E. S.'s worst season in recent years. Episcopal High, Woodberry, and Fishburne landed three players each on the mythical squad, and Miller School and Norfolk Academy placed one apiece.
If we were forced to pick a cap- tain our choice would be Bobby Eanes, the hard-hitting Fishburne halfback who racked up two touch- downs and set up others against the Bishop defense. Episcopal's speedy little Bobby Cathcart quarterbacks this year's bunch, although Wood- berry's O'Bannon got a lot of sup- port. Eanes and Alex Slaughter of Woodberry (shifted to guard here instead of his tackle position on the Tigers) are the two repeaters from last year's All-Opponent team.
E-Burke, Norfolk Academy. E-Lyons, Miller School. T-Pochilly, Fishburne. T-Jones, Woodberry. G-Siaughter, Woodberry. G-Dudley, E. H. S.
C - Royce, Fishburne. QB-Cathcart, E. H. S. HB-Street, Woodberry. HB-Eanes, Fishburne (Capt.). FB-Rhinehart, E. H. S.
It was hard to leave such players as Episcopal's Hunter Foulconer, Woodberry's Wayne Cunningham, St. Christopher's Harry Towne, and Fishburne's Leo Testani off the back- field, but we feel they should get some recognition. Woodberry's Chick Warner and Hank Terjen, E. H. S.'s Dick White and Gus Allen, and Sf. Christopher's DeColigny were also top linemen against the Bishops.
BASKETBALL PREVIEW
With the repainting of the floor, the gym now looks beautiful. So do ou r prospects for this year's team. Along with the returning lettermen several new boys have shown good possibilities.
The team will be able to win more this year with what looks like good reserve strength. They will use the press to some extent and with all the height and shooting ability ought to have a highly successful season.
After two doys of practice, two new Carolinians are in the lead for t h e forward slots. Paul Elam, 6'2", and Paul Clork, 6'3", have good eyes and can rebound like mad. Larry Moye, letterman, and George Ross will back them up. At center, Gil Sayres, 6'6", looks like our best pivot prospect in years. He rebounds well, tips well, and his general per- formance will improve as the season wears on. W ayne Bonney, 6'3", up from the J. V.'s, and Charlie Perk- inson, 6'4 ',are next in line.
We are loaded with guards. Alec Chaffin, 6'2", a forward last year, will play both positions this year. He does everything wel l and con drive like a greyhound. Cliff Towe, 5'II", and Frank Craighill, 5'9", were the starting guards on last year's team and are in the thick of the fight for starting positions this yea r. Three new boys are battling with them. Jimmy Dillon, 5' II", Dick Mason, 6'0", and Hugh Patterson, 6'0", all have good potentialities.
