picked up 125 yds. on 18 carries
for the day plunged over from the

the scoring as Norfolk won 26-10.
The Rams were again hurt
offensively as they were without
the services of quarterback
Ix>ndell McClary. Coach Cleo
Wallace started freshman
Walter Smith at quarterback who
latepwas relieved by last weeks
starter Franco Goode. Neither
was able to do much against a
Spartan' defense that had given
up only 24 , points prior to
Saturday. The Rams final
passing stats showed only 4
completions in 15 attempts for 17
yds. The Ram veteran offensive
lin$ of Nathaniel Goodson,
Bennie Barbour, Bobby Weaks,
Chitis Phiffer and Carson Ewings
blocked well however as the 10
points put on the board were the
most allowed this season by the""
Spartan defense. The loss
dropped the Rams to 1-2 in the
CIAA and 1-3 over all. The Rams
hope to get back on the right
track this week when they take on
Salisbury, which is coached by
former WSSI assistant Baxter
Holman.

and a super secondary which
hopes to reBound from its poor
showing last week in Norfolk. On
offense the Hams will again be
without quarterback Canriell
McClary. Coach Cleo Wallace
will go with either Sophomore
Walter Goode or Freshman
Bernard Smith at quarterback.
Again in the Rams backfield will
be Chico Dunlap who had his
second 100 yd. game of the season
last week and has rushed for 391
ycfs. in four games. His running
mate will be big John Connally
who is strong and blocks well.
The Rams have a super receiver
in George Macklin and an
experienced offensive line.
The Rams hope to return to their
winning ways on Saturday as a
loss would seriously injure their
hopes for the CI A A crown.

His favorite target was Feaster
who caught three aerials for 93
yards.
George Ragsdale had his finest
day of the season as he raced in
and around the Golden Bulls for
121 yards.
The Aggie defense had another
superb showing picking off two
Johnson C. Smith passes and
recovering two fumbles. John
Hampton, a second team ALLMEAC
pick last season
intercepted both passes.
This week the Aggies and their
steadily improving veer offense
will get a strong test from the
undefeated Spartans of Norfolk
State College.
Norfolk will come into the
game with an impressive 4-0
record. The Virginia team has an
exploSlVe offense and a rugged
defense.
The game will be played at

' accomplishments eveh more j
spectacular was the fact that the
Norfolk defense which is number
one ill the - conference were
keying on the senior Business
Administration major. The 1
speedy Charlottean has a chance j
to become the first Ram back in
their history to rush for over 1,000
yards in a season. as he has .
rushed for 371 yards in the first 4 ;
games. Dunlap who with 4.5 :
speed in the 40 has the quickness
to hit the job inside and with a 9.9 I
clocking, in the 100; can turn the 1
comer. He feels he can reach the
1,000 yard mark for the season. 1
Saturday was Chico's second ;
100+ yard game of the season '
having run for 132 yards against ;
Hampton in the Rams opening !
game victory. Still Chico has not i
been playing at full strength this i
season. He has been bothered by <
_neckT rib and knee injuries
Chico started his football :
career in junior high. He credits :
his 6th grade teacher Kenneth
* Downing with getting him started
in football. "1 always wanted to <
be a basketball player, but after
Mr. Downing saw me play
football he told me I might have a
better chance at it because of my
height." He credits his junior
high school coach Joseph Green
and hard work for his success,
Coach Green taught me the basic
techniques and fundamentals,
after that it was up to me to work
at it and develop my ability.
Dunlaps ability developed fast,
in his sophomore year at
(iarringer High he ran for over
'.HX) yards. In his junior year he
was on his way to that 1000 yard

Ram Of 1

By Robert EUer
Chico Dunlap, Winston-Salem
State University's stellar
running back, has been named
Ram of the Week for his
performance against Norfolk 1
State on Saturday. Dunlap who is
exceptionally small for a football
player at 5'7", 170 lbs., ran over,
under, around and through^ the
Norfolk defense Saturday as he
picked up 125 yards for the day
carrying the ball on 18 occasions.

season when in the 4th game he
suffered torn knee cartlage.
Many felt he was out for the year *
but he returned to lead his team
to victory in the seasons final.
During his senior year he missed
the 1,000 yard mark by a mere 18
yards as his team finisted' 9-1-1
and lost the State playdffx on a
yardage decision. "The final
score was 14-14 but Olympic had
the most yards so they won."
Chico was named. to the all
county teams and was highly
recruiteddespitehis size by such ,
schools as Tennessee, Morgan
State, Grambling, Tennessee
State, Fisk and many others. He
decided on State because of its
closeness to home. In his first 3
years at WSSU Chico was the
Rams leader in kickoff and punt
returns (duties which he still
handles). In each of his 3
previous years he has returned a
kickoff for a touchdown and has
been among the league leaders in
that department. This season
after playing in the shadow of
Cornell Davis (now the Rams
backfield coach) Chico has come
into his own. Here's a world of
advice for Ram opponents for the
remainder of the season, watch
out for Chico Dunlan hp'Q InrWTna
