seven out of IA passes for ia
yards, one being a 40-yard
touch d wn heave which
proved to be the winning mar
gin. The Redskin pass defense
appeared woefully weak, the
Roseville receivers getting be-
hind their men time after time
to haul in the pigskin for size
able gains.
Sophomore Al Christopher,
who is developing into one of
the best passers Caldwell has
had in several years, just could

for his aerials, being spilled fire.
quently before getting the ball
away. Ed Sterling, 140-pound
defensive right end for the
Ramblers, was the chief thorn
in AIS side, breaking up most
of the pass plays when not
properly taken out. However,
three of Caldwells six passes
were completed for Al yards.
Roseville's offensive star was
fullback Earl Bruce, 130-
pound junior who will be tough
as TINT next season. Bruce
scored two of the Rambler
touchdowns, carried the ball %
out of 38 times, gained los
yards compared to Is lost for
an average of four yards per
try. He also completed six out
of l3 passes for SO yards, pass
ing to Moore for the third Rose
vile score, play that carried
40 yards. Most of Roseville's
ground gaining plays started as
sweeps around Caldwells right
end, with the backs cutting in
sharply over the right side of
the Redskin line until dumped
by linebackers Bill Christopher,
Fred Anderson or Fuzzy
Caldwell.
Caldwells workhorse, as in
the New Lex game, was left half
Bill Christopher. He carried the
ball l8 out of "a times for 85
yards and Az yard average,
scoring all the points and thrill
ing the crowd with an 80-yard
kick return for one of the two
touchdownS. A similar feat at
New Lex was nullified by a
clipping penalty. Ronald Cald-
well, working out in the tailback
position, showed up well with
20 yards gained in seven at
tempts, although he fumbled
away the ball on the Redskins S
"a in the early stages of the
game.
Roseville racked up their first
touchdown early in the initial
period after Caldwell lost pos
session of the ball on the Ram
bier 35. The Redskins had
marched steadily from their own
80 and chose to gamble on fourth
down for that extra foot rather
than punt Roseville Immediately
began a drive, with Bruce car
rying six out of eight times, and
moved into paydirt, Bruce going
the final IA yards to score. Mar
vim Houk booted the extra point
to send the Ramblers ahead TO.
Caldwells tight defensive play
prevented another Roseville
score minutes later. Sterling re-
covered Caldwell's tumble on
the "a, but the Ramblers got on
ly as far as the five before los
ing the ball on downs. AL Chris
topher punted out of danger to-
ward the close of the quarter.
The second period was see
saw affair with only one scoring
threat, and this in the opening
minutes of the quarter. Roseville
advanced the ball TO the Cald-
well four-yard line with third
down and goal to go. Bill Chris
topher broke thru to spill Bruce
for a loss back on the IL, then
Fred Anderson intercepted a
pass to stop the threat. A couple
of punt exchanges and several
incomplete. passes featured the
remainder of the quarter that
found Roseville ahead 20 at
halftime.
