With the Rebs not able to churn a touchdown movement, the Arrows then moved to their first score as Dukes scored on an end sweep to send the score to 7-0. Two and one half minutes later, the Arrows were in scoring position after intercepting a Rebel aerial. But the Arrows did not stop there as they moved to a 19-0 half time lead on the strength of a pass to end Johnny Stanley. With linemen Rodney Brechenridge, Jimmy Ray, and Mike Phillips leading a strong Rebel effort, the Rebs held the Arrows to only a lone second half score as Dukes ran for his third score of the night. The Rebel offense was led by hussl-ing Bill Hobson and charging Joe Patterson. Quarterback Jerry Tidmore is shown being hit for a loss after having to pounce on a loose ball.
