With few boys returning who were on last year ' s starting eleven, the Eagles suffered from inexperience and lack of size. Offensively, Coach Chick Pollock had the Eagles running out of a split ! attack that v as effective against teams of our size or class. However, most of the games we had scheduled were against teams with more re- servesand entirely out of ourclass. Although the Eagles won no games, they ' bowed no lack of spirit and they fought for each game. ASHLAND 0 FALMOUTH 19 On a muddy field, the lighter Eagles were outclassed by a heav- ier and more experienced Falmouth team; the Eagles fought hard al- though it was a losing battle. ASHLAND 0 MANCHESTER 30 Manchester, with more and bigger players, scored over Ashland at will, as the scoreless Eagles offense failed to catch fire often enough . ASHLAND 0 CHESTER 25 In the first quarter, Ashland came close to scoring, but a pass play failed, the attack bogged down, and Chester went on to win. ASHLAND 0 HIGHLAND SPRINGS 60 In a nightmare ball game, H.S. romped at ease over the injured Eagles. The Eagles were not even in the ball game. ASHLAND 18 POWHATAN 30 Playing at Powhatan, Ashland led at half time. Once Powhatan forged ahead, though Ashland let up, and what should have been a victory tuiVied into a loss. ASHLAND 0 LOUISA 32 The Eagles, playing before a homecoming crowd at Ashland, played a bad game and underdog Louisa marched up and down the field with little resistance. ASHLAND 0 VARINA 65 After missing a first period touchdown by a yard, the Eagles, collapsed and were trampled by Varina for the rest of the game. 40

With no lettermen returning this year, the Eagle Basketball team had a lot of rebuilding to do. The team is made up of the Junior Varsity from last year, and two newcomers from other schools. Although we have won only one game in seven starts, the Eagle quintet has kept the scores close in many of the games. The scrappy Eagles are hindered by not having many tall boys. Next year we expect bigger things from the boys, since only two seniors will be leoving . ardlL (J3a dLetLa H 42
