TIMPSON - The Bears found their 26-0 pause for
an Orange Crush refreshing as they presented
Elysian Fields offense with just two options - punt or
pass - during most of Timpson's Friday night
homecoming bout.
The Bears maintained consistant control over a
demoralized orange and white squad giving no in-
dication they felt the uncomfortable sting of a
Yellowjacket. Although the Jackets managed spurts
of energy which carried them over the midway
marker they never penetrated the host team's 20
yard line during a two and one half hour brouhaha

Winning the toss. Timpson opted to kick off giving
Elysian Fields first stab at moving the ball. But on the
second play of the game Timpson took over as
Jacket quarterback Marvin Staten fumbled on his
own 13 yard line.
But Timpson was not to be outdone fumbling on
the second play of their first posession and returning
the ball to Elysian Fields at their own 22 yard line.
James Roquemore move the ball out four yards for
the orange and white before Staten moved it back
four and Timpson set up for their first score following
a fumbled pitch Jacket Jimmy Roquemore intended
to punt out of danger
Three plays later the Bears scored their first of
four with a two yard run by Billy Joe Glazier Darryl
Morris' kick attempt was no go and with 7:39 left in
the first quarter Timpson led by six
Elysian Fields James Roquemore caught the en
suing kickoff at his own 10 yard marker and retur-
ned the skin to the Jacket 40 setting his team in
good position for a stab at the Bear goal posts Six
plays later the Jackets were still parked at the Tim
pson 49 and Jimmy Roquemore got off a 32 yard
punt to retire the side.
Timpson stormed down the the Elysian Fields 37

life for a shining moment of glory. A punt by Tim
pson s Calvin Smith put the Jacket offense on their

Elysian Fields on downs But the Jackets managed to
run into disaster.
James Roquemore moved out to the 22 for six yar
ds then lost four before Staten connected with John
ny Turner for a 12 yard aerial Staten missed on his
next pass intended for Jimmy Roquemore then wal
ched as Turner slipped down allowing a third pass to
sail into the arms of Timpson defender Darryl Morris.
Morris sprinted for the 35 yard score and put Tim-
pson ahead 18 0 as the Bear defense added a touch
down to the cause Smith’s pass conversion attempt
to ONeol Jackson was knocked out of the air
holding the Bears to their three touchdown lead with
1 43 left to play in the half
Coming back in the third quarter Elysian Fields

Roquemore fell on a Glazier fumble at the Elysian
Fields 28

nover and four plays later the ball was back to Tim-
