Joslyn picked up a yard over cen- ter and Horton gained three over left tackle. Kramer was stoppe9 on his first try but succeeded in going over on the fourth down.
V. E. S. then pulled an on sides kick, which Jamison played beauti- fully. Groome pounced on it and ~fter a quick first down Kramer threw a spectacular jump pass to Hodges for 25 yards and a touchdown.
Bedford, after receiving the kick- off, started to move. Led by the passing of Ted Greer, they worked their way down to the Bishop's 15.

V. E. S. Jayvees defeated Roa- noke's Jefferson Jayvees in a close contest recently.
rrhe Roanoke team's only big quar- ter was the first. It took them only eight plays to find the V. E. S. end zone and seven points. From then on the J. V.'s commanded the field.
After the T.D., Hutter received the kickoff and returned it to his 46-yard line. He and Temple had worked the ball down to the twenty, Temple car- ried to put the Jr. Bishopmen on the scoreboard.
Jefferson 's
came late in the first quarter when they received the V. E. S. kickoff on their 47-yard line and broke lose on the next down for six points.
The only score in the third quarter came when Cliff Shepard threw a Roanoke halfback for a five-yard loss behind their goal line resulting in a touchback and two points for V. E. S.
Jefferson put on a terrific goal line stand on their own one-foot line in the fourth quarter and took over, but six plays later Shepard recovered a fumble, his third of the game, and a spot pass to Nash found the Jr. Bishops with a first down and inches from the goal line. With 58 seconds in the game Jenkins carried for the winning score and Hutter carried for his second extra point. The final score found the Junior Bishops on top
16-13.
The V. E. S.
come back into the ball game and stopped the Bedford attack.
As V. E. S. tried to work the ball out, running from punt formation, Ralph Nash was tackled by Buddy Sligh in the end zone for a safety.
The next time the Bishops got the ball, they drove 67 yards for a T.D. Paced by Kramer's passes, V. E. S. could not be stopped. Hodqes scored on a pitch-out around left end to make the score 19 to 2.
Skit Davidson ran the ball for 40 yards around left end but the play was called back because of a clip- ping penalty.
Hodges racked up his third touch- down of the day as he ran 60 yards around right end. Kramer made his second extra point.

quarter off with a twelve-yard sweep around right end, after clicking with a few screen passes.
The Bishops then began an almost successful march with Penn Joslyn crashing up the middle, behind the blocking of Nelson Showalter and Skellie Hunt.
The second quarter O'Bannon pick- ed up a timely block and cut back over the middle for a forty-five-yard T.D. On this play, V. E. S.'s sharp quarterback, Johnny Kramer, was hurt and things began to look dim.
Hope was shattered again as Worthington intercepted a pass and dashed fifty-two yards to bring the score to a one-sided 21-0, even though the Bishops had pushed the Tigers around in the middle of the field.
In the fourth quarter, after both teams fought back and forth, Ralph Nash punted to the Woodberry thir- ty-yard line and capitalizing on mis-
