the way down to the Collegiate 1, where they were unable to score. Taking the ball on their I, Collegiate was unable to move
the ball due to the Bishops hard nosed defense, and had to punt. The Bishops drove the ball into scoring range again, but were unable to score. Collegiate, taking the ball on their 20 yard line was held once again and had to punt. The half ended with this kind of action, but with no score.
In the second half, Collegiate's W. T. Robinson returned the kickoff to give them a 6-0 lead. The extra point attempt was no good. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, Preston Belcher scored on a 3 yard run and added an extra point to give the Bishops a 7-6 lead. But late in the fourth quarter, Collegiate scored on a 75 yard pass to W. T. Robinson to take the game 12-7. VES may have lost the game, but
