Last year the rockets trailed Sembach 22-0 at half time but then rallied to defeat the tigers in overtime to capture the american division title. But nevertheless Sembach coach Charles Parker feels the tigers will have to prove their selves against the rockets. Rhein main has an experienced Offen Sive team said Parker. The rockets return numerous Star per formers including quarterback Scott Cole and fullback Jim Murphy. Returning Offen Sive linemen include guards Troy Dingess and Vicent Paige and All Csc end Moses Williams along with linebackers Sam led Den and Carl Jordan on defense. Against the tigers Cunningham said we Are going to mix it up. We 11 take what we but there s no doubt the rockets coach misses his All Star kicker Tony mar tin who departed last year and the unlimited playing roster which was reduced to 40 players per team this year because of the Lack of logistical and financial support according to the Csc sports office. However a Csc spokesman said each team can practice with 90 players if they wish but Only 40 of them can dress for each game. Cunningham is still optimistic about his team s Chance of repeating As american division champs. Once the season moves on the team has the potential of being a better team than last year s squad he said. Against Wei Blicken the rockets sputtered however the first game of the year against the warriors has never been easy for us said Cunningham. Also we could t take advantage of scoring oppor it should be interesting to see what the rockets and tigers will do offensively As each one boasts two of the top four runners in the league. The tigers got 141 Yards out of Paul re Bald and Adrian Gillespie against Wiesbaden. Renald a 5-foot-10, 170-Pounder, rushed for 68 Yards in 13 carries for a 5.3 average. Gillespie 6-0, 190 followed with 73 Yards in 18 attempts for a 4.1 Mark. The rockets had the league s third and fourth top runners after the first week s action in the likes of Murphy and Willie Harris who combined for 170 Yards nearly three fourth of the rockets entire offence against the warriors. Both backs average 3.8-Yards per carry Murphy had 95 in 25 attempts while Harris churned out 75 Yards in 20 rushes. Span Dahlem coach Walter Hunter who said he takes full responsibility for the sheiks loss to Ramstein will just play Heads up Ball against Hahn. We Are in the rebuilding stage and profit by our mistakes said Hunter. Last week the rams were sending two line backers and a nos guard up the Middle constantly putting heat on quarterback Chuck Middleton. But we have corrected that situation added Hunter. Both teams will be looking for their first win of the Campaign.
