REBELS DELIGHT HOMECOMING CROWD WITH 26-12 TRIUMPH OVER ANNISTON It was a great night for football, but only if you were from Rebel land. From the opening kick-off the Rebels dominated the football game. The first two times they got the ball they scored 14 points. All state halfback Danny Kimble along with strong assistance from Gary MacFarland paving the road for the Rebs' 6th victory in as many starts. ETOWAH SHOCKS SANSOM, SCORES 24-14 COMEBACK VIC- TORY The stage was set for the game of the year between the state's No. 1 and No. 2 place teams, Emma Sansom vs. Etowah, both teams un- defeated, untied through 6 games. The Rebels jumped off to a good start and went ahead 7-0. By half- time the Rebels were in control 14-7. When the 2nd half started so did Etowah. They played good football and the Rebels could not contain them. Etowah won the football game dealing the Rebels their first defeat. Although the Reb- els hod lost a battle they would not lose the war, they were winners, and there would be another day.

1 REBELS GET BACK ON WINNING ROAD, CRUSH ALBERTVILLE 33-0 The Rebels proved they could come bock even after defeat and they did it in a big way by crushing the Albertville Aggies 33-0. They played an inspired football game as they won their 7th game. The defensive unit headed by Jeff Inman and Jimmy Peppers led the way for another outstanding perform- ance. REBELS WIN AGAIN, STOP JACK- SONVILLE 20-6 Once again the Rebels were forced to play in the rain and the mud but that did not stop the Rebels . . .

But still they slipped and slid to their 8th victory. LEFT: Bobby Browning is watching ond waiting be- cause it s left up to the defense now.
