Airline Skinned Kats The scene was a very hot autumn night in Bossier Stadium for the debut of the 1972 foot- ball season for both Airline and Bossier. It took Airline almost the whole first half to get started, but then the Vikings rolled to a 34-0 triumph - the most one-sided decision in the nine-year history of the traditional rivalry. The offense sputtered the first half, but two big breaks helped the Vikes put two touch- downs on the board in the first half. The Kats fumbled their first possession on the 28 and Airline scored in five plays. The next Viking score came when a Bossier field goal was blocked by Glen Branch. Ron Johnson picked it up and ran 55 yards for the touchdown. In the second half, the next two scores came on Steve Haynes to Jim Williams passes for 48 and 23 yards. Williams also added the final marker on a 38 yard pass interception. The Viking defense held the Kats scoreless, making ., , W. -sf,s,,qK ' 1 34- .Z za, 71:1 Mew-+ X.
