SPORTS Pen Mightier Than Sword October 28. Playing their first game away from home. the Bishops trounced the cadets 0f Fishburne Military School 41-24 in a wiId-scoring contest on Fish- burne Field. As in the foregoing games, the passing combination of ltRoCk Lee to Capt. Mole'i Perry paved the way for the Bishops. The Fishburne secondary was unable to get the glue off Perry,s hands. Bishops Score First The Bishops hit pay dirt first after taking a blocked cadet kick on the 45. Lee-to-Perry passes moved the ball to the 5, and Lee skirted the end for the touchdown. Leeis try for point was no good. A bad center pass accounted for two points more for the Bishops when the ball went over the tail hack's head and into the end zone. After the cadet kickoff Lee carried the ball to the Fish burne 30. and from there shot a pass to Perry for another touch- down. Again the try for point was wide. Cadets Score in Second Quarter The cadets opened a passing show of their own in the second quarter. Bringing the hall to the V. E. S. 25, they passed for their first touchdown. The try for ex- tra point was blocked. Later taking the ball on their own 20, the Bishops marched to the cadet 10 on passes to Perry and Betty and runs by Lee and Betty. After holding for one play, the cadets yielded as Betty smashed over. A pass from Lee to Perry scored the first extra point of the game. With the V . E. S. reserve team in, the cadets passed to the visitors, 20 and then ran the ball over. The extra try was again no good. The half ended with Fishhnrne in possession of the ball on its own forty. Sleeping End Pass Scores The cadets held the Bishops still for four downs 0n the five- yard line and then pulled a usleeping end pass that paid off six points. Later after taking the ball on their own 20. the cadets again tried passing, but this time Lee intercepted one on the cadet 8 40 and counted again for the Bishops. A pass from Lee to Perry scored the extra point. Both Teams Score in Final Quarter Taking the ball on the cadet 50. the Bishops rolled to the 10 011 a pass from Lee to Arthur. From there Betty ran the ball over. Lee kicked the extra. The Bishops kicked off, but recovered a tumble on the Fish- burne 35. Koch, back in punting position, heaved a pass to Perry on the 15. Long ran off tackle to score, but the extra point was no good. The last score of the game came on another ltsleeping end pass by the cadets. but again they were unable to kick the extra point. H Bishops Humble High School The annual classic between V. E. S. and Episcopal High School ended in a 6-0 victory for the Bishops. Played in a high wind, which either lengthened 0r shortened most of the kicks. the game was one of the hard- est-fought contests in years. The Bishops avenged last year's defeat and added another victory to the im- pressive string of victories for the 1944 season. However the Bishops have defeated the Alexandrians three out of the last four years. V. E. S. Almost Scores in First Quarter Capt. Clay Perry won the toss and elected to kick off. Lees bounding kick was picked up by Richards on the flfteen-yard line, and he danced his way to the 35. From here E. H. S. started a sustained drive with Don West leading,r the way. As Episcopal advanced on the V . E. 5.. goal line, the fighting Bishops line began to close up. They held for four downs on the 19. After a try at the line, Lee got off a quick kick that caught the wind and rolled out of bounds on the E. H. S. 21. Westis punt met the wind going the wrong way and went out of bounds on the E. H. S. 40. Lee faked a pass and was finally downed on the 24. Two passes to Perry put the ball on the 8. Betty and Lee drove to the one- inch line, where E. H. S. took over. E. H. S. Threatens in Second Quarter The first part of the second quar- ter developed into a kicking duel with Koch 0f the Bishops doing a superb job against the high wind. A twenty-five yard aerial, Lee to Per- ry, featured the only V. E. S. threat. Late in the quarter Episcopal re- covered a tumble on the Bishops, 40. From here came the most deter- mined drive that the Episcopal team made. West began to hit Daniel, Frazier, and Richards with short tosses, and they moved to the ten- yard line. The half time whistle blew as the Bishop backfield rose up to knock down Wesfs intended touchdown toss to Richards deep in the end zone. - Lee Injured The second half opened with Lee intentionally kicking out of bounds. E. H. S. took over on their 35 and thus started another punting duel. The Bishops made the only threat of the quarter when Lee passed to Perry on the E. H. S. 30. Things began to get on the rough side, and the rough work came to a climac- tical point as Lee of V. E. S. took a punt on his 30 and was knocked unconscious by left end Frazier of Episcopal. Jimmy Whiteis running was a high spot for the Bishops dur- ing this quarter. V. E. 5. Scores The Garysburg Express? Billy Long, took over at tail back as the fourth quarter opened. Long and White began to drive. With the aid of two third-down penalties, they advanced to E. H. S. 30 Long then dropped a pass into Jim Ballou's outstretched hands, and ttThe Hip caught it in stride on the 15 and crossed the goal standing up. Mad- duxis extra point attempt was wide. Maddux kicked off to the E. H. S. 15, and West returned to the 50. E. H. S. was forced to punt. West's kick again met the wind and went practically nowhere. White of V. E. S. then cracked the line three straight times and wentsall the way to the E. H, S. 30. Here the attack bogged down and Episcopal took over. With only seconds remaining E. H. S. took to the air. A long pass fell into Danielis hands on the V. E. S. 40 as the game ended. Line-ups: V. E. S. Pox. E. H. S. Perry ...................... RE .................... Daniel Koch .............. .....

Bishops Defeated By R.-M. A. 13.0 Virginia Episcopal Schools 1944 football record was dealt a shattering blow Saturday after- noon by the Cadets 0f Randolph- Macon Military Academy as a 13-0 score was established to mark the first defeat suffered by the Bishop eleven this season. The contest was played on John- son Field here. After taking the opening kick- off, the Cadets marched to the Bishop 35eyard stripe with punches at the forward wall bringing in yardage. Shrader then rifted a touchdown pass to Wounder. The extra point try was not good. Stage Comeback Staging an impressive come- back, the Bishops employed White and Long on the offensive to invade enemy territory, but a Cadet interception of a pass by Long spoiled scoring chances. Following a Cadet punt shortly after the interception, Koch shot a looping pass to Perry who care ried the mail to the Cadet 20 be- fore being dragged down. The stubborn Randolph-Macon line refused to open and the Bishops relinquished the ball on downs. The Cadets then lashed back with a hard drive which took the ball to the Bishop 25 where Nay- lor took advantage of an open spot in the secondary defensive district to toss King a second touchdown aerial. The Cadets converted with a pass; The first half ended with a puntng duel between Koch and Jones, the latter being unable to match the long boots of the Bishop back. The Bishops opened the second half with refreshened spirit but again found their golden oppor- tunity to score shattered by an intercepted aerial. Recovers Fumble Late in the third quarter, Van- Noppen recovered a Cadet fum- ' ble on his own 35-yard marker. V. E. S. then was forced to punt, Koclfs boot sailing outside on the Cadet eight. In the final stanza, the Bishops attempted an aerial blitz but again were stymied by ill-fated interceptions. The spectacular Perry-Lee passing combination was absent, Lee having been in- jured last week in the game with THE METEOR 7tom the giaelines By G. R. E. KOCH Needless to 5035 the Bishops of November are not the same as these who held a perfect record up to the 13-111. A. game. A fwamiting squad has been. bled white by injuries to hey players. Lost completely are Aruristead, a. promising tackle in every sense; Alexander, a versatile and proven wteran; Pw'rott tmd Larson, two reserve ends, who were permanently sidelined by kidney injuries. By far the greatest loss was the benching 0f the unsurpassed and peerless HRorh't Lee, knocked out in the Episcopal High battle. The Randolph-Macon blemish is proof enough of his effectiveness. Tribute . . . to Long Enough cannot he said in praise of Billy Long's performame in the Efzixeopal High game, and in the Randolph-Illacon game before he was injured. . . .
