5 ' X A... w»1B ' J ( 3 -iii sj i ; . :l ' Lloyd Moore Moves Pigskin Over 813 Yards in 138 Carries Halfback Lloyd Moore gathered a lion ' s share of the gaiiands in ' 66. As leading ground gainer for the Raiders, he was also the top scorer during three consecutive seasons. Moore received an abundance of accolades, most important of which was his selection to honorable mention with the All-American squad picked from small colleges. The wily backtield Raider compiled an enviable record of 1,265 yards gained in 159 total carries this season alone. In rushing, Moore garnered 813 yards in 138 carries; In pass receptions he added another 425 yards with 21 completed passes caught. Moore scored 88 points in 4 touchdowns and two points after touch- down. Coach Lou Cullen, highly optimistic about the manner in which his predominantly young and some- what inexperienced squad had progressed, said frankly that Fort Lewis had taken its share of lumps during the rigorous schedule; but, he added with a whimsical smile that the Raiders were ready to dish out knocks that would be felt throughout the division. Fort Lewis ' seven- loss, two-win record did little to discourage squad mem- bers who returned to the field in April bringing with them additional scrappers anxious to vie for a team berth. Finishing their career with Fort Lewis grid teams this season were guard Marty Litvin, tackle Ken Guzik and end Mert Keel.

Tackle Wayne Woodhouse hits the Mountaineer high. Freshman quarterback Randy Blackmon, above, not only moved the Raiders well while in command, but filled the gap admirably when Chuck Wiening was sidelined with injuries. Blackmon ran up an impressive early season punt record, but began to hit a sluinp with kicks by mid-calendar.
