FOOTBALL Determined to . . revenge the previous week's loss to Brookhaven, the Big Orange unleashed all power against the burned-out Provine Rams 42-6. An end zone furn- ble recovery by defensive tackle Glen Smith plus touchdown runs by Rucker, McIntosh, Skaggs and Cain easily placed the Chargers in winning posi- tion and final victory.

Luck disappeared . as our Chargers met the Yazoo City Indians at Hughes Field and returned on the short end by a 20-6 margin. Miscues and turnovers bogged down offensive drives with the only high point coming late in the fourth quarter. A 61 yard combination pass from Williams to Skaggs provided six points . . . but toolate. Callaway's homecoming was dampened by a strong, 7th ranked Brookhaven football team. Af- ter giving the Panthers a fourteen point lead, through early mistakes, the Chargers fought back to lead 17-14 just before the half. But Brookhaven struck back with a quick touchdown to have a 21-17 halftime advantage. The second half was just a matter of Brookhaven's ground game wear- ing down the Charger defense resulting in a 34-17 smoke. Three examples of Fierce linemen fV3f?f ' i ' A TS '

Statistically . . the Lanier Bulldogs evenly matched the Orange and Blue in yardage and penalties but the score- board showed a much greater difference of 21-8 . . . in our favor. Two touchdowns were contributed by Sophomore Mark McIntosh along with an 8 yard Mike Williams touchdown bootleg in the third quarter. A two point conversion pass from Lowery Germany to Tim Gust added to the final tally. Defense was superb as the Bulldogs could not score on three different drives to within our 20 yard line.
