Viking_Yearbook_50

A rejuvenated crew of Vikings completely baffeled a squad of Olympic IC Rangers Thanksqiving Day, November 24, in Bremerton as they waxed the Washington team 38-to-7 wind­ inq up their season. The Vikes could do nothing wrong, their offense and defense clicked in precision timing, even though a downpour washed the turf of Memorial stadium for most of the game. The Rangers drew first blood when the game was but three minutes old. Gene Rider returned the kickoff 92 yards for six points, and before the Ranqers recovered, Vanport pounced on a fumble on the Olympic 10, and Peckover ran over. Miner scored after the Rangers fumbled another kickoff, and again in the second quarter Coleman tallied making it 26-to-7 at halftime. In the last half Peckover led a 77-yard march, with Miner carrying it across. The last TD was on a Coleman to Baforo pass. All the backs did welL and the lineman played an ex­ cellent game, opening fine holes on offense, and ripping the ranger attack to shreds on defense, holding the Rangers to net gain from scrimmage, to 63 yards. Final score 38-to-7. 141
