Lee of Tyler. The game started with a 77 yard run by Boyd Hadaway and an ex- tra 'point kick by Thomas Vernetti to put the Rams ahead 7-0. Rich- fieldls second touchdown came at the hands of Bob Mosley after a near-interception by two Tyler de- fenders.

Hays Moore, with help from Jeff Kearney, upset the Rebels again with a beautiful 25 yard run boosting the score to 27-6. A short punt set up Lee's other score, and shortly afterwards the final whistle blew with the score- board reading: Rams 27, Tyler 12. I82 Chip Voltz f16J dazzled rebels with slippery tactics.
