Viking_Yearbook_50

Hopes for an undefeated season were tr ampled by OCE Friday night. October 14, in .Monmouth, when the Wolves came from behind to trounce the Vikes 25-to-13. It was strictly a Vanport game in the first period, and it appeared tne game wouid be another cinch . Leroy Coleman completed to Chuck Bafaro who rambled into initial pay­ dirt. A few minutes later Gene Miner crashed over TD number 2, and Virgil Webb con­ verted to give the Vikings a healthy 13-to-0 lead. But the tide turned, and Vanport couldn't find a play that would click except for a couple of late desperation passes. Once in the second and third periods, and twice in the fourth, the Wolfes scored. The Viking ground attack was bottled up while OCE backs were gaining yardage. Line substitutions were few, and the boys were apparently too tired in 143 the second half either to score or keep OCE from scoring. Final score, 25-to-13 .
