Rains their eighth victim of the
season to the tune of 22-0
before a sparse crowd of
followers.

with the air waves Friday night
as they used a combination of
chunkers to throw 20 passes,
completing eight for some 00
yards they don’t ordinarily get!
Terry Giddens, the Rebel

as a tough Wildcat defense held
the Rebels on 4 4 at their nine
yard line.
However, Rains, who hit
the air for 20 passes also, only
had the ball for a brief two
plays before W. M. Simpson
snagged an aerial on the 14 and
quickly ran it in for the first
Rebel touchdown. With 44
seconds left in the first quarter,
the Rebels from Johntown
were ahead 6 0. The PAT was
no good.
The second Rebel TD came
after a bad snap allowed
Rivercrest to force a short punt
to the Rains 42. Six plays later,
hard running Glen Fullbright
churned into the end zone from
20 yards out to put Rivercrest
reception himself as all sorts of jn command 12-0. The PAT was
