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. Under The leadership of Mr. Mil- Ton, Air Scouf Squadron 7-A is being organized in The school. The group has ordered books which will be used for ground school insTrucTion, To be held weekly on SaTurday afTernoons. LaTer iT is hoped ThaT acfual flying may be possible for Those boys who receive parenTal permission. Mr. MilTon will be assisfed by a V. E. S. boy, Lewis BrisTow, who holds a civilian piloT's license. He received his flighT insfrucfion aT The Municipal Airporf aT WesT PoinT, Virginia. A ioinT ceremony in The V. E. S. chapel is planned for The near fuTure by H. F. Cofey, local scouf execufive. AT This meeTing The Two uniTs will be formally inducfed, and an Eagle ScouT badge will be presenfed To Beverly Barge of Durham, NorTh Carolina. Q U A I.

' WiTh The war ending righT beTore The season opened, iT gives many colleges added power. STill, quiTe a Tew service Teams have The cream oT The crop in maTerial. Around This secTion, The A. T. B. aT NorTolk has pracTically an All-American squad. The SouTh-Georgia Tech will 'be Tops: and Alabama. Tennessee, L. S. U. will be doing The honors in The Deep SouTh. William and Mary.. led by smashing 220-lb. Nick ForkaviTch. will be a big ThreaT'To The SouThern ConTerence crown. Duke and Wake ForesT boTh havea hand on The TiTle. While Maryland picked up a. whole new squad Trom The disbandlng M. C. Pre-FlighT School. V. M. l. musT have been keeping an eye on Lynn Chewning and Bill Hawkins. Two ex- ST. ChrisTopher's sTars, Tor They are now holding down TirsT sTring posi- Tions aT The lnsTiTuTe. The EasT will be .iusT a carbon copy oT lasT year. wiTh Army and Navy head and shoulders above The resT oT The naTion's gridiron. Penn, Yale. PiTT, Cornell, and DarTmouTh should bear waTching. The WesT-Ohio STaTe and Minne- soTa should keep Things moving around There, buT NoTre Dame. ln- diana, Purdue, and Michigan will challenge Their leadership. Prep. Schools-Woodberry ForesT, drunk wiTh power, should produce a sTaTe champion Team This year. ST. ChrisTopher's, Tor The pasT Two years undeTeaTed and unTied. sho'uld be slighTly weaker wiTh several oT iTs All-SouTherners gone. Baby Bishops The Tiny ToTs, who are The de- Tending ciTy iunior champs, have once more begun To roll. This year, like The VarsiTy squad, They are using The T TormaTion insTead oT The single wing. IT is an experimenT wiTh The J. V.'s, buT Trom The looks oT Things now iT is going To work ouT well. Mr. MilTon is again coaching The Baby Bishops. Their capTain and sTarTing lineups are uncerTain. They open The season on The home Tield OcTober 3 againsT Guggenheirner. 8 LETTERMEN ' . . . only Tive leTTermen back . . . Va rsiTy Prospecfs The V. E. S. TooTbaII Team will open iTs I94-5 grid card on Friday, OcTober 5, in a game wiTh The Miller School eleven on The home field. WiTh only Tive leTTermen back This year The Bishops will be greaTly handi- capped by The loss oT Tour oT lasT year's players. Hedrick, All-SouThern guard: Koch. All-STaTe Tackle: Lee, All-STaTe Tailback: and Williams, cenTer, will be absenT Trom The V. E. S. lineup This year.- The leTTermen who are back are CapTain VanNop- pen, Ballou, BeTTy, Barge, and Gun- dry. According To Head Coach G. A. Bell, This year's Team will have Tough going, buT will give a good showing in all-oT iTs games. Bell has inTro- duced The T TormaTion This year Tor The TirsT Time, and, wiTh The aid oT Line Coach E. C. Crank. has been puTTing The squad Through hard workouTs ever since school opened. Newcomers Bullard and CorneTT will help Till The gaps in The line, and Allen will Take over duTies as righT halTback. The weakesT link in The Team is The very' liTTle' reserve sTrengTh, Coach Bell sTaTed. ArmisTead and Larson who were iniured aT The TirsT oT lasT year's soa- son, will alTernaTe wiTh Thomas and Gower in The lineup.

According To Coach Bell, The ToughesT Toes oT The Bishops will be Woodberry- ForesT and ST. Chris- Topher's. 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. The .series wiTh Hargrave has been nip and Tuck all The way. OT The seven games played beTween The Two Teams. sTarTing wiTh our I4-O vicTory in I925, -V. E.

METEORITES Through The Telescope By The AsTroIoger Looking Through The Telescope, we see many new sTars in The ascen- dency. The new boys are already Till- ing The shoes oT Those who leTT IasT year. Among The new cons+eIIa+ians we see such sTars as FreckIes Bul- lard. This Richmond, Va., boy ac- Tually slings more bull Than Windy Bill -and SIop Head puT TogeTher. He is also quiTe a hand wiTh The women. Grimes Thomas comes up Trom Siler CiTy, where he lived in a puddle wiTh The Tamous Duck, DimpIes, we hear, is Taking his broTher's'place on The piano sTooI.

Bunky Cardwell asTounds ye old asTroIoger in ThaT he is so much like Ole Dawg Townes oT IasT year's Tame, even down To The walk and d-r-a-w-I. We also see a real esTaTe agenT in The Telescope lens. l:rosTy Coile owns The bridge, a Trash barrel, sev- eral radiaTors, proTecTion Trom Lar- son and Rianhard, The laundry chuTe, and several oTher arTicles. He's learn- ing TasT, Though.

OT course we can'T over'ook The old boys. LaTely we have observed Pinoccinose scooTing around Ha- waii fRivermonT AparTmenTsl, looking Tor a cerTain hula girl. There being noThing like love by mail, we have seen The mailman bring- ing in a separaTe bag Trom ST. Mary's To Acka, DuTchman, Cookie, Coach, FooTsie, and Windy Bill. The boys here have also been burning up The Telephone lines To Raleigh laTe aT nighT. The asTroIoger hopes To see The Bishops Take The Tield This season clad in new uniTorms Turnished by none oTher Than DusTy SpraguesTien.

For Us The Bell Tollsg By George E. WiThers I dislike The V. E. S. bell immensely, and many Times a day I have a sTrong desire To pull up iTs rope cord or To iniure The bell in some more perma- nenT Tashion. I aIon'+ dislike The Tone oT The bell or iTs shape: I am noT even complain- ing oT The rickeTy old scaTToId iT clings To. WhaT I do abhor is The manner in which iT rings when I leasT expecT iT or when I am hard aT work doing someThing oTher Than The mis- sion Tor which The bell Tolls. For ex- ample There is The way iT rings Tor meals when I have iusT sTep ed inTo The shower. Being waked in Thie morn- ing by iTs rhyThmicaI clang beTore I have sunk well inTo my dreams is also someThing To gripe abouT. IT isn'T enough To wake me up, The bell musT also puT us To bed. ThaT bell which collecTs us To classes aTTer recess is The same old bell which in- variably rings in The middle oT mail delivery To summon us away beTore all The leTTers have been given ouT. Why is The elecTric buzzer ThaT ends classes so welcome, when The bell wiTh The clapper is so deTesTabIe? The 'mosT logical conclusion is ThaT The bell is oTTensive To V. E. S. boys because iT rings, Do, and we are lazy. x TThis is The TirsT oT whaT THE METEOR hopes will be a series of shorT original composiTions by V. E. S. sTudenTs.
