Airline's Stadium Christened Victory enlightened the dedication of the new Airline stadium as the Iron Men defeated the Lake Charles Wildcats, 14-7. Though close in score, statistics widened the margin of achievement as the Vikings sur- passed in the yardage gained. With 1:38 re- maining in the first half, Gary Smith sup- plied the first T.D. of the evening, bursting up the middle for 15 yards. The third period started with 10,000 fans sitting close on edge, when a shattering 34 yard T.D. by Bobby Tidwell stunned the Wildcat defense. Not until late in the 4th quarter, did the Wildcats get on the scoreboard with a 5 yard rung their attempt failed to hinder the strength of the mighty Vikings.
