Scoring the biggest upset of the new season, NorlandJS 11thirteen ironmenh smashed out an 18-6 Victory over highly-regarded Hialeah. Quarter- back Warren Whittaker, led the Viking offense while defensively, Norland topped the much-vaunted Hia- leah offense by intercepting two passes and recovering three fumbles. Playing before an overflow crowd of 7,800 rain- drenched spectators, Norland battled traditional rival, North Miami to a 12-12 tie. Norlandk two touchdowns both bordered on the bizarre as the first was scored on an impossible play with quarterback Warren White taker eluding five burly North Miami linemen, and passing 45 yards to Johnny Lasseter, who made a beauti- ful diving catch. The second was scored on a pass through intended receiver Archie Turnefs arms into the frantic grab of diving Maury McDonald.

Aquinas Raiders Beaten By Vikings 46-0 Playing before 4,000 fans at McArthur Stadium, the Vikings met previously undefeated South Broward. Holding up well for three quarters, the Norland defense limited powerful Broward to three scores while Whit- aker and Grodzicki supplied touchdowns to keep within striking distance. However, in the fourth quarter Bro- wardhs fast backs continually swept the Norland ends for long yardage and turned the game into a 32-12 rout. A hopeful Norland squad traveled to Key West for the fourth game of the season. The Norland offensive unit, continually stalled by the Key West defense, man- aged to move over the flfty yard line only once in the game. In the meantime, the Conch offense pushed over two touchdowns which constituted the 13-0 decision, and marked the first time a Viking offense has been held scoreless in two years. Fired up to win the second annual Homecoming Football strategy commences prior to the game as a def- game, the Vikings bombed hapless St. Thomas to the hilt: advantage belongs to the victor 0f the toss 0f the com. tune of 46-0 and punctured the Raider defense for a 20-0 lead at halftime. When the dust had settled, the school scoring record was broken by seven points and the homecoming was made one to be remembered. Digging the ball out of a tangle of arms, legs; helmets and jerseys, the 017icz'als mark the forward progress of the Viking ball carrier, lying here. Don Wantuck attempts to sweep right end, but an Edison lineman moves in to break up the play.
