yard plunge later. With Paul John-
son out with injury Jay Milton
booted the extra point making it 7-0.

Determined not to be beaten the
Wolfpack's Gerald Williams scored
with a run around the end, and the
kick was good. At the end of the 1st

2 point conversion.

With the score still 22-7 in the 4th
quarter Tommy Young connected

it 28-14.

The Wolfson got another break as
Kelly Lowery fumbled the ball and a
defensive player ran 59-yards for
the TO, and the extra point. The Ti-
ger bench was nervous. With 1:57

to the air on a desperation pass Al-
len Blair intercepted clenching the
Tiger victory. The final score Colum-
