REBELS 19 - NATCHITOCHES 18 The heavily favored Rebels had to really scrap to eke out a 19-18 victory over a fired-up Red Devil team from Natchitoches. J. W. Ferrler scored first early in the game after a Red Devil fumble as he made a fine, leaping catch of a Yates strike in the end zone. Buddy King split the uprights with the extra point that meant the game even though nobody knew it at the time. Jon scores the winning touchdown! Johnny Tuma and Billy Funderburk also scored for the Rebels after Jon Harris and J. W. Ferrier set each one up. Harris intercepted a pass to set up Tuma’s score, while Ferrier scooped up a Red Devil fumble and raced to the Natchitoches three from which Funderburk plunged across. Buddy Farrar blocked the Natchitoches final touchdown for the deciding play along with King’s lone conversion of the game.
