Norsemen Lost Tough Une ,Homecoming found the Airline Vikings bolting into an early lead of 13-0 with only 5:36 ticked away in the first quarter. The Norsemen took to the air for their first T.D. with a 5 yard pass from Chaffin to Coulson. The second and last score for the Vikings came when Darrell Guillory broke loose on a 50 yard sprint to the goal line. But then the tables turned quickly on the Mighty Vik- ings and bad breaks and misfortune assisted the Fair Park Indians in surpassing with a final margin of 28-13. The second half found the Norsemen infantry continuously deep in enemy territory and the offense was unable to jell for the remainder of the game. The Vikings were successful though in setting up excellent defense which dominated from the beginning to the end.

The Viking defense slammed the door in the Woodlawn offense 5 times within the Airline 20 yard line. Airline's 13 points were afforded by a 47 yard run by Ken Chaffin, and a 3 yard plunge by Gary Smith.

Vikings Caged Bearkats The efforts of Ken Smith, Mike Linton, 1 Joe Williams, Richie Coulson, Bill Winkler, 1 Mark Fletcher, Phil Fahey, Steve Scott, Kel- T vin Dunlop, Pat Roberts, Eric Johnson, and Ken Chaffin all greatly contributed to the stopping of the Ruston Bearkat offense. Air- line's opponent never managed to cross the goal line because of the mighty Viking de- fense. Gary Smith racked up both touch- downs of the eveningg one coming in the first quarter and the other in the third. The latter touchdown was set up by the contributing run of Darrell Guillory after which a fake field goal was passed from Chaffin to Smith which topped off the drive.

The Best Team Won The Airline Vikings wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard during the 21-7 victory over the Bossier Bearkats. The Norse- men took possession of the football early in the first quarter and before the Bossier de- fense could come to their senses, the ex- plosive offense of the Mighty Vikings had put six points on the scoreboard. The sudden touchdown came with Darrell Guillory break- ing through the right sides of the line and scampering some 78 yards after a tremend- ous display of second effort. Although The Bearkats managed to get on the scoreboard, their lead was only 7-6 over the Vikes at half-time. After a long and stagnant third quarter, a series of Bossier penalties set up the next two touchdowns for the Iron Men. A 13 yard touchdown pass from Chaffin to David Hudson and a low yard drive by Billy Hudson gained the 15 points for the Vikings which sent the Bearkats back across the tracks with their tail between their legs. Viking quarterback struggled for another first down fbelowj. Eric Johnson recovered a fumble for Vik- ing defense flower leftj.
