RANDY PARKER BUDDY BESHEARS THERON SPARKS Junior Center Junior Center Junior Center Bobby Enslen's pass to Joel Stevenson in the final period brought Robert E. Lee to life for a lo-7 victory over the Ramsay Rams. The Generals took advantage of a Ramsay fumble in the opening period. Kenneth Wood blocked a Ram punt and Wade Johnson recovered at the Ramsay lO. Three plays netted only 2 yards, so David Welch booted a 25-yard field goal for a 3-O General lead. Lee moved to the visitors' eleven early in the second quarter, but a tough Ramsay defense halted the drive. Johnson's fumble recovery gave Lee an opportunity early in the third period, but the Ram defense stiffened and took over on downs. John Shallhoop's pass to Tommy Yearout started the Rams rolling late in the third quarter. Yearout bulled to the 2 after a couple of plays failed to gain, and Skid Logan plunged over from the l. James Jackson's conversion made it 7-3 Ramsay, but the lead was short-lived. On first down Enslen fired to Stevenson, who scampered down the sideline for the TD. Welch's boot made it lO-7 Lee. The Generals failed to allow a first down after the kickoff and took over at the Ram 45. Gary Milton capped an ll-play drive with a dive from one yard out. Neither team threatened in the final four minutes. Enslen Goes Around End 152

W v , , W., Q , , LARRY HAIGLER JOE CURTIS MIKE TEAGUE Senior Halfbcck Senior Fullback Junior Center For the second year in a row the Tuscaloosa Black Bears stopped the vaunted Lee Generals. This time the score was i6-7. Coach Jones' Generals shook halfback Louis Priester loose on a 93-yard touchdown run on the opening kickoff, but a leaky pass defense ruined chances for an undefeated season. After Priester's run, the Bears came charging back 70 yards for a touchdown. Undaunted, the Generals moved from deep in their own territory to the Bear 4-yard line. Howard Bozeman took the ball into the end zone, but the touchdown play was nullified. The Generals battled back until a Bobby Enslen pass fell into the hands of Wayne Wright, who ran it back to the Tuscaloosa 34. Late in the first half the Bears scored when Ronnie Wedgeworth ran 29 yards and then Kincaid threw a long touchdown pass to Tom Patton. Tuscaloosa's ol-yard punt rolled dead at the Lee two-yard line. After 2 Lee running plays failed, Paul Boschung tackled Lee's Enslen in the end zone for 2 points that gave the Bears a 9-point margin. The second half was scoreless as the Generals had their hands full holding the heavier Bears at bay. The loss was Lee's tenth in lO season's of prep competition. Tuscaloosa thus ioins Lanier as the only teams with more than one victory over the Generals. Priester Scores lee's Lone TD 151
