blem facing the Rams' again
this fall will be that of find-

is quick to point out that the
Rams wul still be a relatively
young squad. . . "i v
Offensively, the Rams will
probably .rely on the leader
ship of junior quarterbacks,
Ricky Alexander, 64, 215;
and Curtis Tucker, 6-2, 210.
The overall ground -attack
should be ;. vastly improved ,
with more emphasis on a run
ning game as opposed to last
year's "run and show" of
fense. A wealth of talented '
running backs are returning
including Ernest . Adams, 6-1,

offensive line & still
questionable, but it showed a
lot of improvement ..during
the spring. They are getting
off the ball quicker and are
hitting and staying with their,

a good running game, as well
as a good passing game, we
wfll be right in the thick of
things for the conference
championship,"
Cleve.
said
Van
. The backbone of the team
should again be the defensive
' unit.. Every position wfll be"
manned by a veteran, but

Curtis Bunche, 6-5 , 240.
.White and Stephens should be
"J the leaders on the defensive
-unit with Bunche holding his '
i'own at defensive end.
The Ram also return ran'
' outstanding pair of lineback
'" ers in Charles Monroe, 6-3,

, with an experienced second-

formers All Moss, 5-10, 180,

should make it hard on op-
ponents to pass successfully.
ta ' One of Van Cleve's major
' concerns could be his kicking
' game, which did an adequate
job at times last season, but
,-it -is still inconsistent and
' could give the Rams some
problems if they cannot shore
