and some timely passing to thump Livingstone
45-13 last Saturday at Salisbury and move one step
closer to the CIAA Southern Division championship.
The Rams, who were idle the previous Saturday,
made the most of the open date by instituting a host
of changes for their battle with the Bears. However,
the game was never in doubt and Coach Bill Hayes
showed the depth of the Rams* offense by
unleashing 12 different runners, giving his starters
plenty of time to rest for Saturday's homecoming
game against Fayetteville State.
Hayes had planned on throwing the ball against
the Bears, but, after witnessing the awesome Ram
rushing attack, decided to scrap his game plan and
let his huge linemen and running backs decide the
outcome.
"We had planned on working on our passing
game a lot more," said Hayes. "We wanted to take
advantage of some drop-back and play-action
passes. But after we got out to such a big lead, I
thought it would be unethical from a coach's point
of view to throw the football.

The biggest changes for the Rams were at guard
and center. Hayes moved all-CIAA center Danny
Moore to offensive guard, where the Rams had
three players to go down with injuries this season.
"I'm pleased with the changes we made.
We knew that we needed to make some
changes offensively and the week off gave
us a chance to make them. "
, -Bill Hayes
In Moore's vacated position, Hayes inserted Barry
Turner.
The decision worked well, with the Rams getting
three long touchdowns right up the middle behind
Moore and Turner. Leonardo Horn, the Rams'
leading rusher, burst 82 yards for a score, Ed Byers
tallied a 64-yard touchdown jaunt and Darryl Hill
went 46 yards for another score.
"Danny can do anything that he wants to do,"
Hayes said of the 6-4, 260-pound Moore. "I'm real <

me: sctonu quarter, out we decided to leave him in
the game because we thought it might get worse if it
got cold. Danny's the type of kid that doesn't want
to come out of the game, even when he's hurt."
Another wrinkle Hayes used against the Bears
was switching cornerback Masha Paul to wide
receiver. The ploy worked well, although Paul only
recorded two catches. However, one of his catches
was a 26-yard touchdown throw from Mike Winbush.
"Masha is one of the best athletes on the team,"
Hayes said of the sophomore from Detroit. "We
wanted to move him to offense earlier, but we needed
him on defense in our earlier games because of
the caliber of passing teams we played."
Now that the Rams have gotten past the passing j
attacks, Hayes said, Paul will remain on offense.
"The first part of the season and the week off
have given us a chance to get some other guys
prepared to play in the defensive secondary," he
said. "With Masha at wide receiver, we think that
we have a real threat. People can't line up 10 men
on the line of scrimmage to stop our running game
anymore."
Other bright spots for the Rams included the play
