With its scrappy de- fense and bruising offense it left a deep scar on the visitors. The Trojans started with a first quarter lead of 14-0 when Threatt let fly with a beautiful pass to Pickens who carried it 61 yards for the goal line. Later following a 76 yard drive McKnight crossed from the one into pay dirt, and Childers made both of the extra point attempts good.

The Vikings then scored their only touchdown of the night when the Trojans fumbled on their own 25. Five plays later they were on the scoreboard. Trinity-21, Nolan-6 was the half- time score. It seemed the Vikings' morale was crushed for the Trojans ran away with the game. The 28-6 third quarter lead was the result of a 80 yard drive and the final push, again by Nlc- Knight. A Iot of the yardage was contributed by penalties. From the reserves in the fourth quarter were added 'I3 points. A run by Steele and a one second left in the game score by Pridgeon made the final score 41-6. Much credit for this victory was due to great defensive playing led by TenNapIe, Wren, Brown, and Leigh.
