Viking_Yearbook_53

The Vikes made a clean sweep of the Lower Colombia series this year. It was a renewal of a home-and-home series between the two schools_ In neither game was the Staters' superiority questioned_ Portland jumped to an early lead and went on to win both games handily. Arba Ager, wishing to give early season experience to his reserves, substituted freely. Even though Don Koepke spent some time on the bench he led both teams in scoring for the series. The final scores were: P.S.c. 75, 85, to 69 and 69 for the Colombians. The Staters split a pair of games with Seattle Pacific in Seattle. The opening game was the Falcons' Homecoming. The Vikes succeeded in messing things up for them to the tune of 66 to 56. Led by Don Koepke, applauded by sports writers in a city already famous for high scoring ball players, the Agermen were never bested from the start. The next night, though, the Falcons were out for revenge. They started hitting long shots from the key and built up an early lead that the Vikes could not overcome. The final score was P.S.c. 58, S.P.c. 78.
