T T ' FooTball Ups and Downs - ExcepT Tor The TirsT game played wiTh Miller School in TooTball com- peTiTion, V. E. S. has been vicTorious each Time. In The TirsT game, played in l935, The V. E. S. eleven wenT down To deTeaT I2-O. Since Then The Bishops have run The sTring oT vic- Tories To nine in a row. The boys Trom Miller School have repeaTedly shown gallanTry in Tacing a much heavier Team Than Their own year aTTer year. The record wiTh Woodberry is noT so pleasing as The one wiTh Miller School. V. E. S. won six games, and The Orange and Black has been The vicTor eighTeen Times. Two games have ended in Ties. A brighT spoT in The series came in I922, when The GarneT and WhiTe licked The Tigers 5l-7. In The same year R.-M. A. wenT down To deTeaT IO7-9, aT The hands oT The Bishops.

There LONG AGO Foo+baII, Long, Long Agol The Monday following The opening of school Mr. Abbof issued The, call for Toofball candidaTes. The call was answered by abouT TwenTy husky lads. From all appearances They seemed To mean business, buT when They were given a chance To show whaT They really knew abouf The game iT could easily be seen ThaT They had never played before. Only abouT four ouT of The enfire TwenTy had played before, or knew anyThing abouT The game. The heaviesT eleven iT was pos- sible To geT Togefher averaged scarcely a hundred and ThirTy-five pounds. Thus iT may be seen ThaT we were severely handicapped by The lack of weighT. The firsT week was Taken up in Teaching The boys The TundamenTals of The game. When The firsT scrim- mage was over iT really seemed as if we mighf be able To puT ouT a Team ThaT would be a credif To The school. Hard work was gone Through wiTh every day, preparing for our firsT game wifh Salem. FirsT Game On Ocfober 20, I9l6, The enfire foofball squad of fiffeen men, ac- 'Since The closing daTe in boTh leagues is November 24. all games scheduled affer ThaT daTe will be played during The regular companied by MacFarland, The man- ager, Traveled To Salem To play The firsT game in The hisTory of Virginia Episcopal School. The boys TroTTed ouT on The field a few minuTes before The referee's whisTle, like old veTerans, buT iT could easily be seen when The opposing Team came ouT ThaT They ouTweighed our Team fifTeen or TwenTy pounds To The man. Alfhough playing againsf a more experienced Team, and ouT-weighed greaTly, The boys from The Ridge puT up a plucky fighT. Our lads lefT The field defeafed by The score of 53-O, buf by no means disgraced. The work of Johnson, who was lafer elecfed capTain, was su- perior in The game. Second Game On November 4Th Virginia Episco- pal School won iTs second game by defeafing New London Academy by a 22-O score on Episcopal's afhlefic field. The Episcopal lads were ouT- weighed fifTeen To TwenTy pounds To The man, buT wiTh This againsT Them They played rings around New Lon- don from The Time The firsT whisTle blew unTil The lasT. On The offense The Episcopal back- field was unusually sfrong, This being evidenced by The facf ThaT The school was never forced To punT, while The visiTing Team resorfed To This feafure of The game freguenTly, buf wiTh liT- Tle success. CapTain Heflin played The sTar game for The academy Team. while The work of Mead, Hinks. R. Hevd- enreich and Radford, The new Tackle, was a feafure for The winning Team. The line-up: N. L. A. lOl V.

Troop, is geT- Ting under way wiTh new boys and new plans. A movemenT is under way To provide senior leadership To Troop 25 of The PresbyTerian Orphans Home, combining some of The acfiv- iTies of The Two Troops, in order To increase The efficiency of boTh. This plan was suggesTed as a resulf of The co-operafion of The Two groups of boys on The day of The 7Th War Loan parade in The spring.
