Pincville began its defense of the district championship on a successful note by defeating a tough Leesvillc Wampus Cat eleven. Leesville matched Pineville point for point in the first half, but as the second stanza came around the Rebels looked like a new team. They scored twice, with Bates and Martin chalking up the six-pointers, giving the team a hard earned 25-13 victory. The other two touchdowns came on a fumble scooped up by C. J. Butler, who traveled twenty-eight yards into the end zone. The Rebels scored again on a sixty-one yard pass play from Bates to Frantom.

RMk 41 - J GKO 7 Jimmie Rcnegar Douglas Webb Walter Holsomback Randy Johnson The Pinevillc Rebels turned on the power in their most impressive win of the season thus far by turning back district foe Jena before a jubilant homecoming crowd with a score of 4l -7. Both the offense and defense of the Rebs was at its best. This was proved by the margin of victory and by three blocked punts as well as other fine defensive plays. Pinevillc was led by senior halfback Doug Fine who netted 142 yards in fourteen carries and one touchdown on a thirty-eight yard scamper. ' Radar Frantom was on the receiving end of two TD passes from quarterback David Bates. The senior end scored on plays covering twenty-one and twenty-seven yards respectively. Other Rebel scores came when Bates pulled a neat fake and skirted end for sixteen yards and the score. Tackle Mike Pcevy pounced on a blocked punt in the end zone for six points and sophomore quarterback Orville Wilson, on his first run from scrimmage, raced fifty-five yards untouched for another TD. J. C. Rachal, in addition to a fine defensive game, kicked five consecutive extra points. IVuut l 20 - RMs 0 The undefeated, top-ranked, Class A Winnfield Tigers made the most of the breaks and upended a hopeful Pinevillc eleven 20-0. The sometimes awesome Rebel machine consistently piled up long drives only to be halted short of the goal line by virtue of penalties, fumbles, or pass interceptions. The Tigers also made use of Rebel miscues at the opposite end of the field getting two of their markers by this route. Their first score came -on a pass from quarterback Mike Tinnerello to end Dave Adams after a Tiger had jumped on a Rebel bobble. Their final six-pointer came on the interception of a David Bates pass. The Tigers only score which wasn't the result of a Rebel mistake came on a thirteen-yard run around left end by quarterback Tinnerello. Although defeated, line stalwarts Mike Peevy, Gar)- Wilson, J. C. Rachal. and Charles Kidd were outstanding for the Rebs. Eluding would-bc tacklcrs. Fine begins a 53-yard touchdown jaunt against Natchitoches.
