letterman first triumph in 22 straight games, and their first in three seasons. the viking victory ship was forced to a standstill in an icy blizzard at morton as the teams fought to a 0-0 deadlock, the blue and gold got as far as the panther seven-yard line in the second quarter but couldn ' t push over for a score, the game was marred by 23 fumbles in close to four inches of snow. then came the homecoming game against wright at winnemac park, which in all probability was the best per- formance of spirit, guts, and ability ever exhibited by a north park eleven, the rams fielded supposedly the strongest line in the league on a snow and ice-covered gridiron, only to be out-charged and out-fought all after- noon by a terriffically spirited viking team, sparked by outstanding guard and tackle play, the blue and gold led all the way after end jim aspegren recovered a fum- ble in the end zone in the second quarter, but with four minutes left to play a wright half-back broke around his right end for 49 yards, knotting the score and everyone ' s hearts as the vikings had to settle for a 6-6 deadlock. by the time of the joliet game all the enthusiasm had worn off and the vikings dropped a haphazardly-played game 28-7 to end the season with a mediocre record, but only those who saw the games can appreciate the team ' s splendid showing under the able tutelage of yank swanson and his aide, bob hjelm. they have worked hard to start n.p. football on the uphill road, and they have succeeded. a. jepson j.
