defense proved that it is coming
into its own as the Pirates could
not complete any long passes or
touchdawiL passes against it. A
freshman defensive line held the
Pirates on a crucial -goal-tine play
late .in the second quarter as
State led by only eight points.
The first half offensive play
was highlighted by a 54-yard pass

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.

and can do so effectively.
McClary has* an impressive
passing record of 43 per cent

excellent pass blocking is Bennie
Barbour, at 6'3" and 240 lbs. He is ?>
perhaps the strongest lineman in
the conference this year. All
CIAA 1972 and- 1973 Barbour,
because of his strength and speed
(docked running the 40 at 4.7),is
equipped to play offense or

Overall the team is healthy and
