SOCCER
The Bishops were seeking revenge against Collegiate on their home field, and after a hard-well fought game they got it. Theron Sain shoved in the only score as V.E.S. downed Collegiate, 1-0.
Richmond proved to be the jinx this year for the Bishops and the gremlins were a t St. Christophers. The Bishops scored on Bill Watkins' cross early in the first half to take the lead, but the Saints returned early in t h e s e c o n d half t o s c o r e . This score sparked a rally which V.E.S. was unable to stop. The final score was St. C. 3, V.E.S. I.
The next game played in the mud at F. U. M. A. proved to be a sweet victory with Rich Fifield scoring twice and Bill Watkins once. F. U. M. A. was shutout by the stout defense led by Jim Treadwell, and V.E.S. gained its third victory in five tries, 3-0.
Journeying to Christ Church the next weekend, the team experienced a bitter disappointment. Late in the final quarter the Sea Horse pushed across a goal and the score remained
1-0.
Not caring to mourn their defeat,
the Bishops were ready to show no leniency to F. U. M. A. when they met the Cadets on the home soil. Showing no mercy, Rich Fifield, Bill Watkins, and Rick Sheridan all kicked in two goals. As at Fork Union the defense blanked the Cadets, and V.E.S. gained its fourth victory 6-0.
The final game, although lost, proved to be no disappointment. The Norfolk Academy team proved to be just too much for the Bishop boot- ers. The Academy scored twice while checking the Bishops. It ended, Nor- folk Academy 2, V.E.S. 0.
With an even season the soccer team eagerly awaits next year and the chance to improve upon its first year record.
CARPER'S CUBBYHOLE
Spring is in the air and with it comes new sports in which to partici- p a t e . V .E.S. has long b e e n known for the large percentage of the stu- dent body participating in some kind of organized athletics. Last year the figure was around ninety-one per- cent. This year there has been an ever-increasing number of a b I e bodied boys on the C.C.C. These
boys could give something to the athletic program at V.E.S. while help- ing themselves. Pride in the school should drive some of these to partici- pate and lead the Bishops to victory.
There are ample opportunities for everyone interested to be able to play some organized sport. This spring there is track, baseball (two teams), tennis (two teams), and golf in the major sport area. Recreational golf, tennis, and Mr. Lee's Athletic Club lend themselves to those seeking daily exercise.
W e should orient our thinking in line with the President's Physical Fit- ness Program and strive for some sort of daily exercise. Let us each try to reduce the number of "flabby Ameri- cans" by this exercise.
With the close of the winter sports season we feel that the coaches de- serve special recognition and thanks for their efforts this winter. We have seen some mighty fine athletic con- tests this year. The teams have repre- sented V.E.S. well, Congratulations.

The Bishops booters clogged their · rs! season with a respectable 4-4 •ecord, and the next season promises +o be even better. Since the sport bec~me a major one the team mem- bers have really put out in order to oeserve their letter. They made up lor their lack of experience with
stle and determination. Only four ooys, Ervin Meluleni, Rich Fifield, Rick Sheridan, and Bill W atkins, had p~yed soccer previously. The team w~s very ably led by co-captains Bill Wa1kins and Jim Treadwell. Fortu- ·~tely the team will lose only two starting seniors next season, Ted :.:raddock and J i m T r e a d w e ll; a n d with experience the team promises to be stronger.
The first game with Collegiate at ~·chmond proved to be very disap- pointing. The lack of experience hurt ~dly along with the freezing weather. The Bishops were unable to
~ore, and the final outcome was 2-0.
After dropping the first one to the Cougars the booters were not to be denied their second game. Ted Crad- dock scored twice and Bill Watkins kicked another as Father Judge was
defeated 3-0.
