Midget team, grades 7 through 9, won all their regular games-40 boys worked out all season. Coach K jome believes they show unusual promise. displayed some of the hardest running for a. back of his size that has ever been seen in Northeast Iowa. Decoraih 28- Oelwein 6 The Vikings gained their second confer- ence victory of the season by smashing the Uelwein Huskies. Decorah's first touchdown came as the result of an end run by Grant from fifteen yards out. after he had put Oel- wein in the hole by punting out on their one- foot line. NValt Hovey, the Viking right tackle, picked up a loose ball. which was the result of a blocked punt. and raced -ill yards to score. Taylor scored the thi1'd touchdown on a reverse from the 12-yard line, to cap a 60-yard scoring drive. The first time the Vik- ings got their hands on the ball they scored. A pass from -loe Fjelstad to Homer Taylor put them deep in tlelwein's territory. from where Grant took it across for the touchdown. The Decorah seconds played the last quarter and yielded a touchdown to Uelwein after the Huskies had marched the length of the field. For Decorah. the whole team blocked and tackled hard. which resulted i11 many losses for the Huskie ball carriers. Grants booming punts kept Oelwein back on its heels most of the game. Relaxing hetween halts ot' at junior-high game Midgets in action Decorah 35 - Cresco 7 The Vikings came up with their third conference win of the season by pounding Fresco 35 to T. Decorah got oif to a fiying start on Wally Grant's 55-yard dash on the famous naked reverse . Two more touch- downs were racked up before the half ended. Aschim scoring both times. ln the third quar- ter. the Viking onslaught reached its peak. Taylor and Fjelstad each scoring to bring the total to 35. The second and third teams played the fourth quarter and finally yielded a touchdown to the Spartans-Hornberger scoring. Decorah 38-Waukon 0 After a, very slow start, Decorah ended its football season by scalping the Waukon Indians 38 to 0. Uoach lSuckton's talk at the half must. have done something because on the second play from scrimmage Grant dashed 60 yards for a touchdown. Before the third quarter was over the Vikings had scored four times. with Aschim. Taylor and Fjelstad each plunging for another marker. The seconds played the final quarter and held Waukon scoreless. This victory gave the Vikings a record of 5 wins and 3 defeats.
