NOVEMBER, 1968 THE NEWS ARGUS PAGE THREE Rams Bow to Eagles on Miscues Rams Downed 24-2 North Carolina College, capital izing on Ram fumbles and blocked punts, slushed to a 32-12 CIAA decision over Winston-Salem State at rainsoaked Bowman Gray Sta dium on October 19. Two quick scores in the first five minutes proved too much for the fighting Rams. State took the opening kickoff at its 32, and fumbled two plays later at the 40 yard line. Two plays later, a 23-yard touch down play from Herman Matthew to split end Martin quickly put the Eagles ahead 6-0. State took the kickoff on its own 22, and on the next play again fumbled. The Eagles took advantage of this mis- cue, with quarterback Matthews scampering 12 yards to score. State received the next kickoff and marched to the visitors 45 yard line before being stalled. On fourth down Marvin Morrison sent the Eagles deep into their own territory with a booming 50 yard punt. After two unsuccessful attempts at the Ram line, the Eagles’ Thur mond Jones attempted a quick kick, but big Sherwood Kasey fell on the ball after the kick was blocked by State’s Larry Bratcher, making the score Eagles 12, Rams, 6. The fired-up Ram defense set up the second Ram touchdown with a Henry Melton interception at the State 40 yard line. State quickly marched to the visitors’ 11 yard line, where quarterback McNair connected with Cromwell for the tying score. The remainder of the half was dominated by tough defensive play SOPHOMORE ‘ CLASS OFFICEUS The Sophomore Class, after an enjoyable and prosperous summer returned to WSSC for a year hard work. Shortly after its re turn, on September 25, the class met for the first time for the 1968- 1969 school term. The following officers were elected: President, Randolph Mills; Vice President, John Young; Secretary, Fail Stephens; Asst. Secretary, Jean ette McKinney, and Treasurer, Rosolyn Hill. Charles Williams, Ruth Davis, and Mary Haywood were chosen as representatives for the sophomore class on the SGA. I would like to add that a much larger attendance is needed at class meetings if the class is to function properly and effectively this school year. —Charles Williams by both teams, and the gun sound ed with the score dead locked 12 to 12. Taking advantage of Ram mis cues, North Carolina College stormed back in the second half and put the game on ice. Both teams found the going rough in the third quarter, and slippery field conditions resulted in many fumbles and punts. Slash ing runs by freshman Ben Wade and Robert Shaw highlighted the third quarter, but the Rams just couldn’t seem to get everything together. The Eagles finally broke the deadlock after recovering a fumble on the Ram five yard line, and in three plays went in to score, making it Eagles 18, Rams 12. The extra points were good making it 20 to 12. In the fourth quarter, Jones again scored from the five yard line, climaxing a 57-yard drive. This was the Eagles’ only honest score of the afternoon. Booming punts by Marvin Morri son highlighted the bleak afternoon that*saw the Rams fumble seven times. Morrison punted 10 times for 408 yards and an excellent average of 40.8 yards per punt. Two 55- yard punts put the visitors deep into their own territory. Praise was given to the Ram defense for holding N. C. C. Eagles to one earned score, an excellent job considering the Eagle offense is tauted as one of the best in the CIAA. of Support The Rams!

To become aware of what’s hap pening, stay in tune with Junior news, —Myrtle Hargrove Freshman English In accordance with the newer emphases in English language arts and skills, the freshmen English program has been revamped to promote “greater levels of effi ciency in speaking, writing, re porting, and organization of mater ial.” Mrs. R. Hauser, coordinator of the freshman English classes, said this about the new program: “We write best about that which con cerns us — the more involved we are, the more fluent we become. The act of communication is per sonal, and therefore drill, in the older sense of the word, is rele gated to individual requirements.” The program recognizes that not only do most people learn to formu late concepts and communicate ideas as receivers and producers of oral language, but also skill re sults from actual experience with audience reaction. To give the students experience with an audience, they have an opportunity to perform weekly be fore an audience of their peers. This is every Tuesday at 1 p.m., in Fries Auditorium. —B. A. Dove The Elizabeth City State “Vik ings” defense put on a good show when they faced the offensive minded Winston-Salem Rams Oct. 5 in Bowman Gray Stadium. The Vikings held the Rams to a total of 69 yards and 8 first downs. The game was won by the Vik ings on miscue’s set-up by the Rams. One of the Vikings’ scores was set up by a fumble, another by a pass interception. Running backs, Grover Armstead and Grady Sessoms led John Walton. Their running produced 231 yards. The Rams opened the scoring by catching Armstead in the end zone for a safety. There was no further scoring in the first quarter. There were some defensive high lights for the Rams. In the second quarter, Wade Robinson returned a 76 yard punt to the Ram 5. The Vikings after moving the ball to the Ram 2 yard line in three plays, were stopped short by Ram defen sive standout Sherwood Casey. The Rams then took over moving the ball to the Viking 45 yard line. The Rams then surrendered to the Vikings. After nine plays, Walton passed to Maurice Harrod for a 26 yard play bringing the ball to the 1 yard line. James Sessons then plunged in for the score. Melvin McNair broke up the attempted conversion. This closed out the first half. Jackie Kennedy recovered a Ram fumble on the 32 yard line. Walton passed to Harrod for 15 yards. Armstead took it in from the three. The conversion was no good. Vik ing Darnell Moore intercepted a pass on the Ram 33 to set up another touchdown. Armstead once again carried over, this time from the 10 yard line. The conversion was no good. The final Viking score came on a 93 yard drive in the fourth quarter. Sessoms ran three yards for the finale. The conversion attempt was once again broken up, this time by a host of defensive minded Rams. This was the first C.I.A.A. game for the Rams. Better days are to come.

UtAKACHt^-rHYTHt BENCH''" Joseph 0. Lowery 1968-69 Fall Enrollment Total enrollment at Winston- Salem State College for the first semester of the 1968-69 academic year is 1,301. That figure is 24 less than the same time a year ago, but nearly 150 greater than five years ago. One of the primary reasons for the 1.8% decrease is higher ad mission standards, in the opinion of WSSC President Kenneth Williams. Of this year’s total enrollment, 1,161 are fulltime students; 140 are part-time. The ratio of women to men is approximately two to one, wth 851 women and 450 men. North Carolina residents number 1,069, while out-of-state students account for 232 of the enrollment. There are 260 new freshmen. 6
