Playing under a new head coach, Norman Deeb, the Tigers got off to a shaky start by dropping three of their first four games. After opening the season with a 19-6 setback by Dixie Heights, the Tigers suf- fered a second defeat at the hands of Holmes in the season's first home game. They then settled down to beat Lloyd l9-7 for their first victory, but lost to High- lands the following week even though statistics proved that they had outplayed the Bluebirds. The Tigers then breezed past Campbell County 46-6 with the reserves seeing most of the action in the second half.
