The second touchdown for Nelson County came with less than half a minute remaining in the game. A long desperation pass from Hugh Wright to Ronald Clark resulting in a totaf yardage of 70 yards, paid off for the big Green for they came from behind to tie the V. E. S. J. V.'s.

135-LB. TEAM LOSES TO NELSON COUNTY, 7-14
The Baby Bishops played their best game thus far this season as they invaded Nelson County. Both teams were evenly matched during the first quarter which settled down to be a defensive battle. The Bishops drove down to the Nelson County six in the second quarter, aided by Hutter
passes to Bonfoey and Mansfield, un- til one found its way into the arms of a Nelson County back. The Baby Bishops' only score came two plays later when Churchill intercepted a pass on the 20 and returned it for a touchdown. Hutter carried for the extra point.
