WFL game summary for 10/23/1974:
Running backs Jim Nance and Paul Gipson thundered to a total of 243 yards rushing to lead the Shreveport Steamer to a 31-0 trouncing of the Birmingham Americans. Nance picked up 126 yards, becoming the third WFL player to rush for more than 1,000 yards this season, while Gipson amassed 117 yards. The Birmingham offense was woefully ineffective, penetrating once, in the first quarter, only as far as the Steamer 18 yard line, from where a field goal attempt was blocked. The Americans never threatened after that.
