09 Rice -

Page Five -- Frosh Charles Ross romps 49
yards for the score (sequence)
(Mark Anderson photos)
Charles Ross takes inside handoff and stymies a host of Vandy
defenders by cutting across to daylight shortly after bursting past line of scrimmage...

...with room to roam in front of him, he makes a cut...

...the Rice frosh eyes stud-muffin Vanderbilt corner like, 'you ain't nothin'...'

....hey, this Vandy guy's supposed to be fast -- Charles is flat outrunning him...

...the defender tries to play the angle, but Charles has got a higher gear left...

...and he tucks the ball up high and puts it in overdrive...

...Vandy defenders make desperation dive, but it's Charles in
Charge...

...and he sloughs off both would-be tacklers as he crosses the
goal line -- not bad, not bad at all!
