THE BABY BISHOPS By Frank Bynum
Yesterday one of the things that gave me the greatest amount of pleasure came to an end with t ho dose of the Junior Varsity football season. I know of no other part of the school that gave me as much sat- isfaction as playing on t h a t t e a m . Tho record we finally achieved-four ganes won, one lo:;t, and one tie::l- wus the result of one hundred and one blocks thrown in practice, one hundred and one laps run, and the wo:ds of encouragement, discourage- ment, and general comments on our performances uttered by our vener- able coach were enough to fill many a library. As a result, I am proud of our record; I think everyone who had a hand in it was proud of it, for we truly •ought for it.
It was quite a season. Who could have predicted what "Mus" would do the day of that Fleetwood game? Even though we all kidded him about ·ts being "his day", not a soul would have suspected that he'd go eighty yards for our only touchdown that day. But that was exactly what he did on the third play of the game from scrimmage. The play before, Woolery had called a fullback plunge into the middle of the line. Then he called Stu's play, in which he faked t h a t same handout to the fullback and pitched o u t t o him, g o i n g a r o u n d end. It was a nice fake. Mus went all the way. We won that one, seven to six. Gillespie got the winning extra point. Gillespie, the workhorse of the team, got vital yardage in every game.
The team was full of characters. Take Jeff, who was kicked out of prac- tice one day for goofing off and said,
'All riqht, then, I'll go play for the varsity." Then on "his day" he went in for three plays and picked up thirty yards; he never took the game seriously, and yet in the last game fought throuqh three blockers and nailed the ball-carrier for a loss. And Woolery, who could catch anythinq within ten yards of him, never missed a tackle. As safety man, he was the last defensive man between the boll- carrier and the qoal. He couldn't miss. So he never did. Moye, our co- captain, got so good he moved up to the varsity. But he always came back for our games to play outstand-
