In the opening tilt of the season, the overpowering size of the Crystal Springs Tigers proved to be too much for the smaller inexperienced Rebels as the Tigers defeated them, 13-0. Quarterback Harry Searcy paced the Rebel offense that was stopped on the one-foot line in the first period, the three-yard line in the second period, and inside the 10 on several other occasions. Bouncing back, the Rebs beat the Haz-lehurst Indians 7-0 in a defensive ballgame, which marked the first victory for the Rebs and handed the Indians their first setback of the season. An interception by Larry Crawford in the opening minutes of the second quarter sparked the Rebs to a drive which ended with Travis Eldridge passing to Billy Parker in the end zone for the only score of the game.
