THE FORDS ARE HERE TODAY! 1969 Torino GT SportsRoof -s, squeezes By BILLYE SIMMONS Tackle Mike Vance inter- I cepted a tipped Vincent I aerial to stop a Ri- 1 chland Rebel drive at the L. D. Bell 20-yard line with 32 seconds remaining in the test to assure the Blue Raiders of a 3-0 win at Pennington Field Friday night. Kenny 26-yard field goal with yards to spare was the only score of the ball- game. It came with 9 minutes and 45 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

Defense, of course, was the key to the Raider victory. Bell, drubbed 42-6 by Denton last week, deserves a lot of credit for stopping a potent Richland ground attack, allowing few break-away runs, and forcing the Rebels into playing the Raider game, passing. The Bell pass defense was superb with backs Scotty Huston and Richard Wiseman, along with linebacker Roy Irwin racking Rebel receivers. An inspired rush was put on cool quarterback Guess by the Raider front four consisting of Vance, Mike Hicks, Gary Bar- Hookins. Robert Hightower and Jim Trapp and de- jPPIPIr mw i 'r-' 7 nett and Pat fensive backs Dickie Vanderpool and Gary Lively were also instrumental in shutting out the Rebs.

The win gives the a non-conference record of 2-1 and hands the Rebels the same 2-1 mark for the season. The contest gives Bell momenteum for its game against Carrollton next Friday while Richland will have to try to get for rugged Arlington Colts, an undefeated squad in its three ballgames thus far. The area rivalry between Bell and the Rebels was much in evidence in tne contest but it appeared the underdog Raiders wanted the contest a bit more. Last drive The smaller Rebels did put together a valliant last ditch effort to win the encounter. With 1:33 left on the clock Richland took over for Its last possession on its own 26-yard line.

A couple of passes failed and Guess was apparently stopped on a third down play for no gain when a personal foul penalty gave the Rebs new life on the 44-yard mark. Guess scrambled for 8 steps on first down to the Bell 47 but threw incomplete on second down. With 49 seconds left in the game and the Rebel signal, facing a third-and-one situation, drilled one to split end Richard Fenner for a 27-yard pickup and first down on the Bell 20-yard stripe. A pass bounced off tight end Richard chest at the five and was almost picked off one first down. On second down Guess toss was tipped at the line of scrimmage and Vance made the big play.
