Q1-gyfjjg if ,JW I-IOMECOMING GAME I E l-. ,... .Mann 5 . VALLEY CITY VIKINGS vs. DICKINSON SAVAGES THE HoMEcoM1No GAME on October 5 was made perfect by the great victory over the Dickinson Savages. This was one of the hardest-played games ever witnessed on a local field, and the Vikings again showed the superiority of speed and aggressiveness over the immense bulk of the Savages. Kempf was again the outstanding ball carrier on the field by breaking loose for a sixty-yard return of a Dickinson punt. The work of Bill Potthast at fullback was also outstanding. In one of the most exciting games of the season the Vikings spoiled the Homecoming celebration of the Wahpeton Wildcats with a I2-6 win. Throughout the first half and much of the second the Wildcats led by a margin of one touchdown, scoring early in the game from their effective passing. The Vikings, however, put on a great drive in the second half after Potthast had broken through to score and marched the length of the field to take the game. The blocking of Ayers, the line-plunging Potthast, the great work of Morsch at center and Kinzer at guard were features of the game. On October 25 a fast charging, alert and hard-hitting squad of Mayville Comets outdid the Vikings with a great passing attack and went home with a 13-6 victory. The Viking score came in the closing minutes of the game when Kempf scored from the one- yard line on a recovery of a Mayville fumble by Wicks. Playing under unfavorable conditions the next week at Minot Teachers the Vikings again failed to click and fell victim to Minotis very effective end runs which netted them most of their yardage. In this game a Viking touchdown was called back for the third time in the season, when Kempf broke loose for a beautiful sixty-yard run, only to be called back on a clipping penalty. Running true to the custom of the last few years, the Vikings again turned in the best performance of the year in the last game of the schedule. Playing the conference champions of Iamestown College on Armistice Day on a slow, heavy field, they out- charged and out-fought the Iimmies at all times and turned in a very good all around performance. Both teams were in scoring position only once all day and as neither had enough punch to score the game ended in a scoreless tie. - FOOTBALL 73'
