Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #226
In "Let the Games Begin," Betty secures the final spot on the football cheerleading squad, sparking a playful rivalry with Veronica—so when Veronica suggests Betty join the gymnastics squad to keep her away from Archie, the plan backfires in the most unexpected way. With Archie sidelined and forced to take over as scorekeeper for the gymnastics team, he finds himself spending more time with Betty than ever, much to Veronica’s chagrin. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr. with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this Double Digest issue features a cover by Dan Parent and Bob Smith.

Betty aces out Veronica for the last spot on the football cheerleading squad, so Veronica talks her into joining the gymnastic squad instead, to get her out of Archie's sight. But Archie injures himself and has to substitute gymnastic squad scorekeeping instead of playing football, so he still ends up spending time with Betty.
