their season like they began it
— by losing. They lost to the
Shaw Bears, a team that had
not won a game this season, 22-6
at Chavis Field.
Shaw gained a 22-0 fourth
quarter lead before State could
get on the scoreboard. Then it
was too late. The Rams missed
several scoring opportunities
earlier in the game.
The home team won the
game on the passing and run
ning of quarterback Walter
Johnson, a freshman. He ran
seven yards for one TD and pass
ed 10 yards to end Allen Hep
burn for another, both in the
second quarter. He also flipped
the ball to Hepburn for a two-
point conversion to give Shaw
a 14-0 halftime lead.
Neither team scored in the
third period. In the fourth per
iod. Johnson hit halfback Willie
Jones for a 16-yard touchdown,
then found John Fennell for the
two extra points.
State retaliated with a 45-yard
drive. Quarterback Ronald Bran
don found halfback Larry Dray
ton in the end zone for a 12-
yard touchdown play with 8:09
remaining to play.
Punter Marvin Morrison will
be the new CIAA punting
champion with an average of
38.1 yards for 54 kicks. He is a
freshman. End Timothy Jen
nings ranks fourth among pass
receivers with 31 catches for
246 yards and a touchdown.
Rams Top St. PauTs
The Winston-Salem State
Rams closed their home season
with a rousing 38-12 victory over
the St. Paul’s Tigers at Bowman
Gray Stadium.
Halfback Larry Drayton was
the hero as he scored three
touchdowns on runs of 53 yards,
40 yards and three yards. He
gained 203 yards in 21 carries
for the day.
Fullback Terry McNeil added
69 yards in 23 carries as the
Rams rolled 304 yards on the
ground.
State led by a narrow margin
of 1-1-12 at halftime. St. Paul’s
scored both of its touchdowns
in the first quarter. Quarterback
Ronald Blakney sneaked a yard
for the first touchdown, then
passed to end Philip Thompson
for 48 yards for the second.
Drayton scored with a 53-yard
run, and Ronald Brandon passed
to Timothy Jennings for the
extra points.
The Rams moved ahead to
stay in the second quarter on
Drayton’s 40-yard sprint.
State Beats Bronco
Fayetteville — The Ram of
fense clicked with its defense
to put on its best showing of the
year, a 20-6 victory over the Fay
etteville State Broncos.
State gained 115 yards on the
ground with Jimmy (Butch)
Anderson leading the way and
177 yards in the air. The “dyr
namic duo” of quarterback Fos
ter Epps and flanker Robert
Shaw accounted for two of the
three State touchdowns.
The Rams opened the first
period by showing their air
potency. They took a 6-0 lead
on a 47-yard pass play from
Epps to Shaw. The try for the
extra point failed.
In the second period Ander
son, after being injured for a
couple of weeks, regained his
poise and form to javmt 70 yards
for a tovichdown. Epps then pass
ed to Henry Melton for a point
after touchdown, giving the
Rams a commanding 14-0 half-
time lead. Anderson’s run mark
ed the longest run by a Ram
this year.
In the second half the Ram
defense, led once again by co
captain Calvin Stith, was instru
containing
etteville offense. The interior
line limited the Broncos’ run-1
ning game to a total of 78 yards
rushing and nine first downs.
The Ram secondary was also
instrumental in stopping the
Broncos’ aerial attack. The
Broncos noted mainly as an air
minded team, were not able to
throw missiles, for the Ram
secondary limited them to a
total of 68 yards passing. There
was no scoring in the third
period.
In the fourth period the air
minded Rams got on the score
board once again. Again it was
the great display of quarterback
Epps throwing a 25-yard pass to
Robert Shaw. The try for the
extra point failed.
The lone Fayetteville score
came late in the fourth quarter
when Robert Allen barrelled
over from the 10 yard line.
Aggies Romp
The A and T Aggies defeated
W-S State Rams 54-8 at War
Memorial Stadium in Greens-
misery for Winston-Salem.
The Aggies opened the scor
ing in the first period. Daryle
Cherry took a Marvin Morrison
punt on the 50, to streak down
the sidelines for A and T’s first
score. Donald Thomas booted the
point after, giving A and T a
7-0 lead. After the Rams gave
the ball up on downs, Aggie
quarterback Merl Code passed
47 yards to Willie Pearson, to
give the Aggies a 13-0 first quar
ter lead.
Early in the second quarter
Code found Pearson open for a
touchdown, to give A and T a
19-0 lead.
The next time A and T had
the ball on offense Thomas Blue
smashed over for a 3-yard score,
making it 26-0 with Thomas
booting the extra point.
Rams Win 20-14
The defense-led Winston-Sa
lem State Rams won their first
game of the season 20-14 over
Livingstone in an exciting CIAA
Conference game.
Allen McManus was the ring
leader in stealing the victory.
McManus made a diving inter
ception on the Livingstone 25
yard line with 1:33 remaining in
the game. Seconds later Foster
Epps, freshman quarterback,
hit big Robert Shaw with a
touchdown pass which was
enough to preserve the victory.
The hard Ram defense held off
a last ditch Livingstone rally to
win.
The Rams opened the scoring
in the first quarter with a drive
that was highlighted by the run
ning of Henry Melton and Butch
Anderson. Anderson plunged
over from the one yard line and
Melton ran the conversion to
give State an 8-0 lead.
Livingstone fought back on an
80-yard drive climaxed by a 62-
yard touchdo%vn pass to all-
CIAA Sylvester Sutton. The con
version failed and the 8-6 score
held up to the half.
Opportunity knocked again in
the third quarter and State
scored after tackling the Liv
ingstone punter on the Living
stone 12 yard line, after a bad
snap from center. Foster Epps
sneaked one yard for the touch
down. The conversion failed.
Again Livingstone fought back
on a Saunders to Polk eight yard
touchdown pass. The conversion
failed and State led 14-12.
Early in the fourth quarter
State’s Terry McNeil was tackl
ed in the end zone fcT a safety,
and Livingstone tied the game.
It was at this crucial point
that the State defense stopped
Livingston after the Bears drove
to the State six-yard line with
first down. State dug in and
stopped the drive.
After an exchange of offen
sive thrusts, Livingstone had
the ball and the stage was set
for the big McManus play. Ver
satile Produs Perkins, Living
stone’s all-purpose back, fired a
desperation pass as he was rush
ed hard by the State defense
and up popped McManus with
a diving catch to give State the
ball and a chance for the game
winning play.
