JIM BAILEY Tackle DAVE TAYLOR Tackle Gary Corley and company smear a Wampus Cat, FRANK WHITE Center REBELS 12 - BAKER 37 A very strong Baker team greeted the Rebel team down Baton Rouge way, taking a decisive 37-12 victory. Corky Yates and Buddy King, however, looked great with a tremendous passing combination that kept Baker on their toes throughout the game. Yates completed 8 of 11 for the night, while King ran and caught passes beautifully. From the first time they got their hands on the ball to the game's end, it was just too much Rebel power. Corky Yates ran, passed, and directed the fine Rebel units as they really rolled up a wide margin score. Robert Corley chipped in as usual with his allround play. Jon Harris, Billy Funderburk and Eddie Guillotte scored along with Yates and Corley. The big Rebel line was terrific, throwing back the Wampus Cats time after time. FUMBLE!
