The first half offensive play was highlighted by a 54-yard pass reception by George Macklin which eventually resulted in Chico Dunlap's 14-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

Rams high in contention this season. ": - vuawu vTdiiauc suiieu uiai me team's main weakness last season was the lack of a strong defensive secondary. It now seems that with the extra concentration on defense during practice and the assistance of former Rams letterman Cornell Davis, who was retained as the defensive secondary coordinator, . opponents will find scoring against the Rams a challenge this season. Two veteran members of the defensive squad bear watching; both are juniors. Carson Kurings at 6'5" and 245 lbs., a defensive tackle who came into , his own last season as a defensive lineman - leading the Rams charges has excellent speed and is a strong tackier. His coach recognizes him as one of the best all round linemen in the conference.
