C. game of the season for both by a score of 6-0. John Chastain's reception of 7 passes led the Rebs to this hard fought victory. In a most decisive offensive battle, the Rebs tied the favored Brandon Bulldogs by a score of 13-13.

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.

F. H. went to Canton the next week and annihilated the mighty Panthers, 34-6, before a bi-partisan crowd and moved within one-half game of the North LDC leader, Morton. Led by the plunging fullback, Rusty Bridges, and the speedy Rebel halfback, Travis Eld-ridge, the Rcbs scored time after time while their opponents could muster only one score. Hosting the Forest Bearcats the next week, the Rebels humiliated them with a victory of 21-0 and bolstered their season record to a 5-1-1 tally and our record to 3-0-1. Outstanding for F. H. were Harry Edwards and Harry Searcy. At homecoming the following week the Rebs blasted the Florence Eagles by a score of 42-2, in a game which was completely dominated by F. H. Billy Parker leads interference as Herbert Stewart returns another kickoff against Florence.
