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. . . .

The Bishops advanced, on running plays to the two-yard line, and Arthur bucked over for the third touchdown. The extra point was 110' good.
