Leo Haffey 1653, Mike Luft 4675, Larry Anderson 1705, and Howard Doty C769 clamor to block a field-goal at- tempt hy Central. Rams Fall to Falcons, South Big-8 Co-Champs After losing their first two skirmishes to Pasca- goula and Gulfport East, the Provine Rams met Central in their first intra-city game. On the first play from scrimmage Tiger fullback Shelby John- son outran three Provine defenders for 83 yards and a lead they never relinquished in their 23-7 victory. Provine found life midway through the second period, starting a drive on its own 34 and using a 38-yard pass from Mike Jackson to Randy Kuyrkendall to get into scoring position on the Central 14. Chris Bell smacked over on third down for the only Ram tally. With a 33-li loss to Natchez and a scoreless tie with McComb behind them, Provineis next foe was Wingfield, the South Big-8 Co-champions. The Falcons took their fourth victory at the Rams' expense as they romped to a 35-0 triumph. The Provine rushing attack, led by Mike Jackson and Chris Bell, showed early strength but tired in the second half. Breaking through the goal post sign, Jim Flanagan C821 leads the Rams onto the field for their game with Murrah.
