In view of the Panthers' lackluster play until Saturday, questions had been raised concerning their chances to repeat as C1AA champs for a fourth consecutive year. Yet, Union's win showed that the team still has its share of talent. "Union has a different philosophy than they've had in the past, but they still have excellent personnel," said Hayes. "They threw the ball better and more often than they have in' the past, but we expected that. Before the game, they were looking for an identity and tonight they found it." Although the Rams lost the game. Haves said they looked good in spots. "Our defense played well at times," he said. "L was pleased with the way we played in some areas, but we just didn't do the things it takes to win football games against good teams." "I was pleased with the way we played in some areas, but we didn't do the things it takes to win football games against good teams." -- Bill Hayes Hayes used sophomore quarterback Dana Walker for most of the second half in place of starter Mike Winbush, and Walker responded by leading the Rams on their longest offensive drive of the night. However, the effort came up short when Walker was intercepted at the Union 4. "We weren't getting good play from our quarterback," Hayes said, explaining why he chose to go with Walker. "I thought it was time for a change and Walker did pretty well." Union, on the other hand, came out throwing from the beginning against the Rams, with Smith maiang nis urst start as a collegian. His pass on the opening play of the game was incomplete, but he Fumbles Away WSSU reserve quarterback Dana Walker fumble help cover the ball.

Virginia Union will be at home to take on pesky, but outmanned, St. Paul's in the Panthers' homecoming game. In nonconference action, Johnson C. Smith hosts North Carolina A&T and Livingstone tackles Gardner-Webb. Thus far, Willard Bailey's Norfolk State team has played above its head, compiling three wins against no defeats. The Spartan defense has shut down every opponent it has faced and should have no problems controlling the line of scrimmage against hapless Bowie. Norfolk by 14. After winning its first two games of the season, - North Carolina Central has run into all types of problems. The Eagles' once-potent offense has failed to rise to the occasion the past two weeks and will receive a strong challenge from Fayetteville's tough defense. The Broncos, on the other hand, are improved offensively and can move the football. Fayetteville in a squeaker by three. Virginia State, which got its first win of the season last week, is much tougher than its 1-3 record indicates. However, Elizabeth City is for real and will put George Moody's troops to the test on the Vikings' home field. Elizabeth City by seven. Virginia Union may have finally solved its offensive problems in a 19-7 win over Winston-Salem L 1984 itreak From Page B1 came back three plays later to throw a perfect strike to another freshman, speedster Felton Davis. Davis caught the bomb in stride and out-distanced Ram cornerback Masha Paul to the end zone for the score. The Rams moved the ball well on the their second series of the game, but couldn't come away with any points. They drove to the Union 9-yard line before the drive halted, but Tyrone Smith's 26-yard field goal attempt went wide of the goal posts. After exchanging punts, WSSU moved briskly to the Union 13. But again the Rams came away without any points as fullback Leonardo Horn fumbled on first down. With neither team able to score, the half ended with Union holding a 7-0 lead. Mistakes continued to haunt the Rams in the second half. Freshman kick returner Calvin Handsome fumbled the kickoff to start the third quarter, managing to recover on the Ram 4-yard line. Two plays later, Winbush, attempting to pass, was sacked for a safety, putting the Panthers on top 9-0. On the ensuing free kick, WSSU's worries continued to mount as Mike Johnson returned the football 34 yards to the Ram 37. Four plays later, Sandy McDonald took a lateral from Smith and went into the end zone untouched to give Union a commanding 15-0 lead. The Rams got their only score of the game on a 21-yard interception return by linebacker Mark Wallace, who nabbed a Smith pass and lumbered into the end zone. On the bright side, the loss didn't count in the conference schedule and WSSU still leads the C1AA Southern Division race wih a 1-0 record. But the defeat did eliminate the Rams' hopes for an undefeated season - and pinned another disappointment on a team that felt it could finally best its nemesis this year.
