AMA SNEAKS BY BISHOPS IN THIRD GAME, 13-6
A hard-driving Augusta Military Academy eleven, sparked by ex- Marine fullback Dale Power, de- feated V. E. S. in a close contest on the cadets' home territory.
Power's touchdown in the second period spelled the difference be- tween the two teams, as both elevens scored in the final four minutes of the hard-fought battle.
A stalwart Bishop forward wall held a heavier line in check for most of the game, but could not stop the drive which carried the cadets to pay dirt.
A fter a pass interception by Johnny Kramer broke up an AMA threat in the first period, the two lines battled it out until AMA started their 65-yard push. Power hit
inside and outside both tackles as the cadets scored at the end of the IS- play drive. The try for the extra point was wide.
The Bishops got off one offensive play for long yardage in the second period as Bill Ramsey snatched a Kramer pitchout and drove for 21 yards.
In the second half, V. E. S. settled down to top-flight defensive foot- ball, and put up a terrific fight to throw Power for one, three and four-yard losses. AMA had to punt.
In the final quarter, AMA drove to the V. E. S. six-yard line where the Bishops dug in and held the cadets for four straight downs. Power plunged into the line three times and finally battled and battered his way to the two, where Johnson, AMA's speedy halfback, was stopped on the line of scrimmage while attempting to score.
After V. E. S. picked up a first down, Kramer's pass to Nash was intercepted by Johnson who scooted for the second AMA touchdown. Sefa converted.
Kramer broke away on the kick- off to carry the ball to the cadet 39, where a short pass to Ramsey picked up seven yards. Davidson gained two yards on a pitchout to the left, and Ramsey took the ball to the right on the next play to scat 30 yards for a touchdown. Kramer's try for the extra point went wide.

JAYVEES TRUMP BROOKVILLE 12-2
Tho Junior Bishops brought home the first win for V. E. S. this season on their home field. The first break of the game came late in the first quarter when Lee Moir threw the Brookville quarterback for a IS-yard loss on a fourth down. On the very
next play, a forty-five Temple to Hut- ter touchdown pass put V. E. S. on the scoreboard.
The only Brookville score came just before the half when an end sweep found the Bishops behind their goal line for a touchback.
The other V. E. S score came in the fourth quarter when Hutter pulled in another pass by Temple, good for thirt y-five yards to the Brookville three. Richardson scored the touchdown on a hand-off.
All in all it was a fine example of teamwork and spirit and should be looked up to by their future oppo- nents. Final score: V. E. S. 12; Brook- ville 2.
Appomattox Defeats V. E. S. 26-7
In 135-Pound Tilt
The 135-pound team started off its season by losing to Appomattox. The " Baby Bishops" were a trifle nervous in their first game and Ap- pomattox had a bigger and more experienced team.
The first score was made by Ap- pomattox, a 80-yard punt return, and then again in the first quarter Appo- mottax scored. This time they drove 70 yards for their second touchdown.
