Homecoming 1987 The fall of '87 will be remembered for the NFL players and their striking, But in Minot, October 3rd had in store Homecoming: the Beavers and the V.C. Vikings. KX brought the cameras and sportscasters there, for live on TV, the game would be aired. The day was lovely, the fall weather fine: the fans came together, filling the stands. As each team waited on its own sideline, there were pre-game tunes from the Minot High Band. An unlucky ref was caught in a play. and benched on the sidelines he would stay. Drawing first blood, the Vikings soon scoredg it was only a field goal, and V.C. kicked off. The Beavers came back and put six on the board on a quarterback sneak by Paul Rudolph. The Beavers picked off a pass poorly thrown, and again moved the ball to the Viking endzone. The Vikings passed for a touchdown at last: nearing the half, MSU scored again. The Beavers were winningg the time went fast. At half-time the score was 20 to 10. To open the Homecoming half-time highlights: Minot's Marching Magicians and girls in tights. 10 LEISURE Five were inducted to the Hall of Fame: all were alumni and all good sports. The Homecoming King and Queen were framed by the princes and princesses in their court. The German Club's float was the best by far in Saturday morning's parade, nicht wahr? When the game resumed, the Vikes came out strong, twice driving near to the distant goal-line, but they fumbled twice, wondered what went wrong. And the third quarter ended, no scoring this time. The Vikings scored: a field goal, a touchdown. The game tied at 20, the Beaver fans frowned. MSU fumbled at its own twenty-five, and the Vikes tried a field goal, but it went wide. The crowd went wild, the Vikes came alive, The Beavers went nowhere, but, oh, how they tried! The Vikings took the ball downfield and scored: With the Beavers behind, MSU's fans were floored. Determined, the Beavers tried to come back. but the crowd slipped away and the Vikes shut the door, V.C. scored again. set up by a sack. Final score: Beavers 20 and V.C. 34. The stands were soon empty. except for the trash, and the crowd hit the dance for a real Beaver bash. Ed Welsh
