Squad Finishes Season Undefeated, Takes Valley Title A POWERFUL line and a well placed running attack en- abled the Viking football squad of l938 to complete an unde- feated season and to take the valley title for the fifth time. Spurred on by five all-valley team members, the Northern gridders rolled up 197 points to their opponents' 21. The only teams giving the Norsemen a struggle were those from Bay City and Muskegon Heights, and they tied the Vikings l3-l3, O-O, respectively. A record of the season's games follows: Sept. 24- In defeating St. Charles 46 to U today, Northern looked as if it would have another very fine season. Bob Pea made Northern's first touchdown of the season. The scoring in the first half was due to the forward wall's mighty charges while the second half featured long runs by Ioe Law- son, Fred Rettenmund and Torn Heavner. Coach Guy Houston used thirty-nine players in the fray. Page 20 Oct. 1- This afternoon Northern fought a thrilling battle with a powerful Muskegon Heights eleven. The final score was U to U. Although most of the game was fought in Northern terri- tory, the Vikings were able to keep the ball away from the goal line. This game was an ex- cellent test of the Viking line and it passed with flying colors. Oct. 8- Scoring 28 points to Arthur Hill's 2, Northern opened its Valley competition with a well earned victory. Heads up play was respons- ible for the scoring. Tom Heav- ner, about to be tackled, tossed the ball to Sam Carpenter who raced across the goal line. Paul Hubbard took the ball from the hands of a Lumberjack passer for another touchdown. Thirty- three Vikings participated in this game. Oct. 15- A hard pressed Viking eleve barely stayed in the Valley rac this afternoon as Bay City hel them to a l3 to l3 tie.
