The V. E. S. 130 Pound Tearn was out for revenge against Presbyterian Home. The Home kicked off to the
130 Pound Tearn, which ran it up to the thirty yard line. Two plays later, the Home took over. It fumbled and the V. E. S. boys recovered, and suc- ceeded in gaining four yards before fumbling themselves. These opening plays of the game showed the Home that they were up against a hard hitting team.

FROM THE SIDELINES
With the departure of Mr. Bartol for Jefferson Senior High of Roa- noke, Rock Lee is now head coach in basketball as well as football and baseball.
This year the Bishops have suf- fered greatly from inexperience. There are stars on the horizon though.
Lee Mastin has proved himself a very shifty and fleetfooted runner. Lloyd Horton has played good defensive ball at end and both Frank Craighill and Butch Watkins have shown well.
Down on the V.E.S. field, long limbed Bill Hull has been catching just about everything thrown his way. Dick Moss and Leland Maret have also shown varsity potential.
This corner, in behalf of the school, would like to salute Ed Carter for his invaluable service to the football team. He really has that never say die spirit. . .
Looking away from the gnd1ron scene, we see some tall talented young men down in the gym. Pros- pects for this year's team look ex.- ceedingly bright. Newcomers Gd Sayres, Paul Clark and Paul Elam ~ive us the height that has been notice- ably absent in Bishop teams of ~e­ cent years. This trio will team w1th returning lettermen Cliff Towe, Alex Chaffin, Frank Craighill and Larry Moye. With this combination .fo.r~­ ing the nucleus, some of the V1rg1n1a hardwood powerhouses better look out.

Bishop Gravatt, whose home is near Glas- gow, Virqinia, is the recently. retired bishop of Upper South Carolma. .He spends most of his time travel1ng around Virginia holding services at various churches. He was here to celebrate Holy Communion for us, as our chaplain, Mr. Barton, is not yet eligible to do this.

Everyone enjoyed and appreciated his service and we are all looking forward to his next visit.
