The 1955 Columbia High
Tigers, rated by some
sportswriters as one of the
top teams in the confer-
ence, swung into action
when they played their
gridiron opener against
Fernandina. Although
many vacancies were left
from the 1954 season, the
Ttgers had very good
chances. The Tigers made
a highly impressive debut
in the opening game. The
backfield displayed the
power of a seasoned squad, ,
while the line put in some
rugged blocking and tack-
ling. After clawing Fer-
nandina, the Tigers setout
for a new prey--Kennyl 1
Although the Tigers took
this game by 13 points,
holding Kenny scoreless,
they had to be "Up and on
their toes", as Bishop Ken-
ny had one of the top teams
in the conference .

. . . off to a good start ...

Out for their third vic-
tory, the Lake City team
clashed with Ocala, tak-
ing the spotlight as con-
tenders for another N.E.C.
championship. All fired
up after their 14-0 victory
over the Ocala Wildcats,
they were ready to take
on P. K. Younge. Smoth-
ering the Blue Waves, our
team was well on the
march to repeat last years
championship.
