Varsity post near perfect regular To open the Knights' season, sky divers from all over the Midwest brought in the football for the fourth annual Dakota Bowl against the highly ranked Washington War- riors.

The first half ended with a 6 to 0 Washington lead. In the third quarter the fighting Knights clam- mered down the field to the one yard line. Then Tim Lorang skipped in for a touchdown. The fourth quarter ended with a 6 to 6 tie and the game went into overtime. The grueling battle between the rivals continued and on their second play, the Warriors scored a touchdown coupled with the extra point. On , r u 1 r gg' . . ., JN . sp.. 5, I 1 x 1 , 'Q' f 1 -.
