Over Marshall

met one its old rivals, Bishop College
OF Marshall, Tex, and defeated it, IA to
T. 1t was the first defeat that Bishop
has suffered in four years. Baptist was
outplayed in the first half and the
score stood to 0 in Bishops favor,
but during the last half Baptist line
and back field went wild and held the
visitors while they ran two touch
downs. Booker kicked both goals.
Bishops line was punctured repeated
ly by Full Back Hooker, who scored the
first touchdown. Booker and Rollins,
half backs, played great game on the
off tackle plays and receiving passes.
Baptist line, composed OF Barker, Ste
phcnson, Maiden, J. Johnson, Miller,
Brown and J. Jackson, used as their
slogan They shall not pass and
swept through Bishops line like tor
nado, many times stopping Quarter
Back Pendleton and his back field in
their tracks for losses. Quarter Back
Lovngs, the little football wizard, was
here. there and everywhere, making
end runs and receiving forward passes
from Barker for long and repeated
gains Bishop is rated as having one
OF the fastest back fields in the south,
and her defeat puts her out OF the race
for the championship of the southwest.
