After that it was "turn out the lights” on the WSSU Rams. And if that wasn’t enough, the Marauders then scored 22 unanswered points in the game’s second half. The Rams were leading 8-3 towards the end of the first half, when Central State punted to Masha Paul. Paul fumbled and the Marauders recovered on the 20-yard line. Two plays later, at the kick-off, quarter back Bobby Junior fumbled the snap and Central State recovered on the rams 48-yard line. WSSU fans were probably saying “things can’t get worst.” Wrong thought. They did! In three more plays the Marauders were now on the WSSU 24 with seven seconds re maining. Eric Ingram kicked a 40-yard field goal and CSU had a 13-8 lead at half time. In the second half, Leavell had three touchdown passes and the Marauders also scored a safety. The problem for the Rams was trying to play “catch-up ball.” This proved to be a bad day for them to try to use this tactic. Go Rams! »i m John Cole and Barry Turner Co-Captains of football team. Cole and Turner (]o-( Captains Of The 1986 Fighting Rams Football IVaiii by Valerie Beatty The 1986-87 Fighting Rams are being led by John Cole and Barry Turner.

He was All CIAA in 1985, Defensive Lineman Player of the Game 1985, and the Pre-season pick All CIAA this year. In Cole’s opinion, the young Ram team has no weaknesses, only strong points. “We are finally pulling things together. And everyone feels comfortable playing together. We are strong at secondary and linebacker positions also this group has played together for two years and they seem to compliment each other well,” ex plained Cole. Cole also feels that Lesley Barley, a new linebacker, seems to be adjusting well to playing on a collegiate football team. He is a physical education major, niinor- ing in Therapuetic Recreation. Upon graduation he would love to play profes sional football, which is the dream of most college football players. On the other hand as a long range goal, he would like to coach football or be a phsyical therapist. Mclver Chosen To Lead Class Of 1990 Late Score Lifts Rams The final six minutes of the WSSU vs. NCCU game proved to ise very exciting.

The class chose Joel Mclver, 18, of Babylon, N.Y. as it’s leader.

She decided to run because she recognized this as her chance to learn about leadership and government responsibilities. Ms. Neal says, there are three goals she hopes to ac complish in her term; more class unity, respect from upper classmen not only for her class but those freshmen to follow, and for her class to succeed in what they do as a class.
