Viking 1965

Jerry Lyons who has a 10-6-1 record after two years as head football coach at Portland State, is the only Vik football coach who has never lost an OCC game. With official con- ference competition ending this year, Lyons has guided the Vikings to a 7 -0-7 conference record. In 1963 Lyons had an over-all 6-2 record, the best in the history of the college. In 1964 the Vikings were 4-4-7. The differ- ence between the two records is experience according to Lyons. In 1963 there were a number of upperclassmen on the team while in \964 only eight upperclassmen played.
