Portland State's football team opened its schedule against one of its three new opponents. linfield. Revealing a stout line. good passing. and outstanding running power. the Vikings came close to winning this evenly fought match. Only a last minute drive that failed spelled defeat instead of victory. Next. the team traveled to Ashland where they met the Raiders of S.O.CE. This was a rugged. hard· fought clash. but Portland State came home with the short piece of the wishbone. Still shaking off the effects of the rough S.O.CE. game, the Vikings proceeded to Palatine Hill for an encounter with the Pioneers of Lewis & Clark. The downtown boys lost this one despite a fairly evenly matched first half. The Portland State footballers had completed the roughest part of their schedule and could look forward to a home game. Against the 1953 champions. O.CE., the Vikings regained their footing to the tune of a thirteen to nothing victory. The boys were at their best in this night game on the lincoln field. The following Saturday. the P.S.C gridmen journeyed to Klamath Falls for their game with the OT.I. Owls. Bad luck and cold weather dealt the Vikings another hard blow as they dropped this contest. Highlighting the 1954 Homecoming, the P.S.C gridmen cru~ed the Mountaineers from E.O.CE. by a margin of fourteen points. The following weekend on the lincoln field the home team broke a strangle hold that the favored Los Angeles City College team has had on Northwest college teams. The score was 20·0. This was probably the best gallle of the season. The spirited Vikings closed out the season at Longview against the Red Devils of Lower Columbia Junior College. This final game was dropped by a narrow margin of 6 points. GENE RIDER GORDON BIGLER Inspirational Player Tearn Captain First {our-year letterman at Portland State DICK LAUGHLIN Manager 211
