V.E.S. FOOTBALL OUTLOOK IContinued from poge b, col. 3)
Goodwin, Parker, and Andy Ander- son. Anderson has been improving greatly and is to be watched.
The backfield has Cunningham, Or- gain, Pratt, Johnson, and Hutter. Each of these boys can move fast. So far tho backfield has been ex- tremely effective against passing at- tempts by the opposition.
Brian W a l k e r will kick o f f unless Shield or Dunn beat him out. Cun- ningham has been doing the punting for the team.
Despite comparative inexperience and a very tough schedule, it looks like the Bishops (1-1-0 so far) will give their fans some interesting afternoons this season. It could prove to be one of the most success- ful seasons in a long time.
UGH!!!
HUTTER, ORGAIN AND CUNNINGHAM STAR AS BISHOPS DOWN APPOMATIOX
The Virginia Episcopal School Bish- ops, combining a flashy offense with a strong defense, defeated Appo- mattox High School, 19-6 at Afpo- mattox in their opening game o the
1959 season.
Led by the quarterbacking of
Sandy Cunningham and the running and pass catching of Bev Hutter and Stewart Orgain, the Bishops offense erupted near the end of the first half. Trailing 6-0, with less than a minute left in the half, Cunningham fired to Orgain a pass that was good for an eighty yard touchdown. This brought the score to a 6-6 tie at the half.
Midway through the third period, the Bishops broke the tie when Cun- ningham hit Hutter with a pass that went for forty yards and a touch- down. A number of would-be tack- lers got a shot at Bev, but he scored with a brilliant display• of broken field running.
The Bishops wrapped up the game in the final quarter when Cunningham scored on a quarterback sneak. The play was set up by a fifty-one yard pass to Ned Bonfoey who carried the ball to the five yard line. Bill Lee added the extra point to end the scoring at 19-6.
The Bishop's defense was superb, twice holding when Appomattox had first down inside the V.E.S. ten yard line. In the defensive backfield, Hutter intercepted three passes, and Cunningham picked off two.
YES IS SURPRISED BY POWERFUL NORFOLK ACADEMY TEAM
Norfolk Academy, striking quickly in the first quarter, defeated the Bishops 16-0, in their first game at heme. They now have a record of one win, one loss, and no ties.
The Academy's offense surprised the Bishops by scoring the first time they got possession of the ball on a sustained drive of seventy yards.
Norfolk duplicated their initial ef- fort the next time they got the ball. This drive, also seventy yards, ended when John Fyfe ran fifty-four yards to score the second touchdown.
In the second quarter V.E.S. held the Academy on their sixteen, but the Bishops couldn't go and punted. Likewise the Academy team was un- able to advance the ball. Norfolk punted to the Bishop four, and two plays later Sandy Cunningham was tackled in the V.E.S. end zone for a safety.
The entire second half was a de- fensive battle. The only Bishop threat was when they moved the ball to the Norfolk Academyis eleven yard line, chiefly on a twenty-two yard pass play from Cunningham to tackle
Ralph English.
Stewart Orgain, who started for
the Bishops at halfback, and was being heavily counted on, was in- jured on the second play of the game and sat out the remainder. Needless to say this hurt the Bishop offense.
After the first quarter, the VES defense duplicated the brilliance it had shown at the Appomattox game, but the offense seemed unable to
