I f Editor I The.Winston Salem State Rams ended 18 years of football frustration at the hands of their neighbors from Greensboro Saturday night and that could be bad news for not only the Aggies but for at least ten ' other teams in 1977. The convincing romp over the Aggies has the Ram fans in a fit of frenzy over the remainder of the season but- one major question still is left to be x answered. Are.the Rams as good as they looked or are the Aggies as bad as they looked? At least part o1 that question will be answered this Saturday when the Rams invade Hampton to take on the CIAA pre-season favorite Pirates.

The Pirates will desplay a free-wheeling, explosive offense that revolves around the passing of All American candidate Russ Seaton at quarterback.

The Detroit, Mich, native will have his two top receivers back in Reggie Midget and eddy Pratt. The dynamic duo caught 36 passes for 653 yards and 8 touchdowns between them last season. The running attack will be lead by junior Lewey Hale whe led the team in rushing last year with 638 yards dispite missing the Ram game. Hale also scored nine TD's. The Pirates offensive line is fast and big. Led by All-American candidate Nat Wickham at center, the Pirates line includes Edward Rogers (6-1, 240)., Stanley Prater (6-4, 250), Frank 6iles (6-3, 263),, and Steve Whitfield (6-0, 240).
