This just wasn't the Redskin night, The Rebels capitalized on a Redskin fumble midway in the first quarter, Then the Redskins drove to the two yard line, Here a Rebel picked up a fumble and raced 98 yards for the second TD of the evening, On the kickoff Jody Gregory received the ball on his own 20 and ran 80 yards for the only TD for the Redskins, Glenn Woodard added one point by splitting the goal, Samsom added their last TD on a pass interception. The final tallies proved that the score did not give a true picture of the ballgame, The Redskins really put out more than the 20-7 score indicated. JOHNNY EVANS Left End

y?efA1k2.s 05. zyers After their first loss of the season, the Redskins journeyed to Blountsville for revenge. The first half of play was evenly matched with both teams driving the ball deep in enemy territory without scoring. The only score of the first half was set up by Bill Paris who recovered a fumble at the Tiger 15. On the third down Conn went off tackle for seven yards and the score. The PAT was wide. The last half was a wide open affair with the Redskins moving deep in Tiger territory, but they couldn't seem to muster a drive to go all the way. Finally, in the fourth quarter Conn brought the Redskin fans to their feet as he raced 46 yards for paydirt. The PAT was again wide. The Redskins remained unbeaten thus far in the county. The final score ended 12 to O.
