RUSS MERCER BOBBY ACHESON AS CHAMBERLAINS gridmen solemnly Bled out onto the field to meet their Hrst foes of the season, it was a group of boys who had the mixed feelings of anxiety, unexpectancy, and eagerness. But on top of the heap was the desire to Win, and to do so with all the skills and tactics of a Chief sportsman. With the mature age of three years behind the Chamberlain eleven, the North Tampa tribe was determined to topple over the predicted 4th place birth of the Western Conference and that they did, stepping up to the third rung on the Western Conference ladder.

VIKING sneaks 'rl-:rough Chief defense for TD. ANOTHER Manatee drive is crushed. MANATEE Hurricane is calmed by Chamberlain ocfef. CHAMBERLAIN SHUTS OUT PLANTERS, 27-0 Taking the field in the opener against Plant City, the Chamber- lain Chiefs, gridmen exhibited their nifty backield speed and the lineis Herculean power to crush the Planters, 27-0. Though six touchdowns were scored, only 4 were tallied, 2 being nullified by an infraction. The first Chief to hit paydirt was the little field general, Ben Hill, premiering the victory with a one-yard sneak. A 7-yard charge by fullback Russ Mercer upped the Indian visitors' score by 6, and defensive halfback Tommy Allen legged the mail 9 yards before crossing the end-zone stripes. Transfer newcomer Bill Sims made his debut in a 50-yard gallop to TD territory, while Ernest Brady booted the pigskin through the uprights for a total of 3 extra points. Though not in the scoring limelight, halfback Henry Bonar gathered up large chunks of yardage offensively, Ron Mercer, Bonar's running mate, paced off a nullified 82-yard TD, and tackle Donn Kerbo punted an attractive 43.2 average for the night. CHS AND HILLSBORO SLOSH TO 6-6 TIE Drenched and soggy, 400 loyal fans braved the elements to watch the Chamberlain-Hillsborough intracity duel. Slipping, sliding, and sloshing through the mud and mire of the field, the Chiefs and Terriers fought tooth and nail to a 6-6 deadlock, most of the bat- tle ground being the middle of the gridiron. Both teams used op- position-error strategy, punting anywhere from first to fourth down. With rain pouring from start to finish, both scores were chalked in the third quarter in this almost all defensive game. Approximately five minutes after the Terrier visitors earned their six points, the Chiefs' eleven rolled up 33 yards in a Hill-to-Bonar pass to fire up the scoring drive. Fullback Russ Mercer and halfback Bill Sims waded to the two to meet a fourth down. Quarterback Hill passed again, and though it was partially blocked and deflected, the pigskin wobbled into the end zone where end Bobby Barnes was waiting to snare it. Both teams' conversions were muffed and other scoring opportunities were snatched up by the foe. Chief John Dent, who recovered three of the opponentis seven fumbles, pulled a ligament and was sidelined for the season. CHS ELEVEN SHELL ST. PETERSBURG, 2I-6 Traveling across the bay to battle the highly rated Green Devils, the North Tampans met their foes with determination to notch another win on their tomahawk. St. Pete opened the scoring in the second period with a TD, but muffed the point-after-touchdown. Rebounding back with a 67-yard Ben Hill-Bobby Barnes scoring pass, Ernest Brady added his first of three PATis to go into the halftime with a 7-6 lead. The end zone was void of play in the third quarter, but midway in the Hnal period, fullback Mercer sliced from the 2 to a six point climax of an 81yard drive that required only 11 plays. For a grand finale of the night, Bonar thrilled the CHS spectators with a 15-yard twisting jaunt into the end zone.
