KLENNETT 7 - CAPE CENTRAL 0 The Indians had another close call, but finally began to click in the second half with a passing attack that had been very conspicuously absent until this game. A Parr to Robinson aerial netted the touchdown and Sexton kicked the extra point. A large homecoming crowd was very worried until the Tribe scored. The game was closely contested for the most part with the underdog Tigers holding their own for the biggest part of the game. KENNETT Z7 -JACKSON 7 In this conference game, played at Jackson, the Indians played very poor football during the first half, but came back strong in the second half to engulf the rival tribe. The score at half time was 0-O. Kennett's scoring was done by John Robinson K2 TD'sl, Don Darden fl TD and 2 extra pointsl, and Ierry Presley fl TDD. The Indians moved the ball almost at will, even during the first half when they were stopped more by fumbles and penalties than by the inept Jackson defenses. The lone Jackson tally was registered in the last quarter when their much vaunted multiple offense finally pierced the rough Tribe defense. KENNETT 7 I-LAYTI 0 Playing another rival tribe the Indians from Pemiscot County, the local Tribe had a very tough time with the previously unbeaten eleven from Hayti. There was no score at half with Hayti having a little edge in the first periods. The lone score of the game came early in the fourth period when John Robinson ran back a punt 70 yards for the score Old Reliable Sexton booted the extra point. The Kennett defense performed ' commendaoly during the entire contest stopping the rival Indians inside the 20 yard I KENNETT 12 - CARUTHIZRSVILLE O In the fiercest of all rivalries, the Turkey Day game, the Indians again came cut on top. The Indians scored the first time they got their hands on the ball, with a pass from Parr to Robinson. There was no scoring in the second or third quarters, due to the ankle-deep mud and water. The Tribe's final touchdown came in the fourth period when Jerry Presley skirted left end for the TD. The Indians' defense again did very well, hold- ing the Tigers to 28 yards rushing for the entire game. The Tribe's big line was the de- ciding factor as it completely overpowered the smaller tigers.
