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.

Ferrier GENE BRILEY Back HENRY VICKNAIR Back REBELS 12 - MENARD 12 The Rebels outplayed their crosstown rivals in a bitterly fought game with Menard. However, they had to settle with a 12-12 tie in a game that saw the deciding point by each team missed after all four touchdowns. Menard scored first on a 55 yard pass play from Buddy Cosen-za to Bootsy Watson after only three plays from scrimmage. The Rebels came back with a score only 1:30 left in the first half as Billy Funderburk crashed over from the two yard line. The Rebels took the second half kick-off and came back strong. Corky Yates capped the drive by throwing a 21 yard scoring pass to Jon Harris. Butch Willis led the Eagles' drive as they rallied right back to tie the score. A big fired-up Rebel line banged down Joe Serio as he tried to run for the winning extra point. Don't stand there, do something!
