Upsala O f Clarkson 0 The third game of the season might aptly be termed the f'Mud Battle of Potsdam . The Vik- ings completely outclassed the Clarkson Tech team, but the mud and the kicking of Reed, Clark- son center, kept the Vikings at bay each time they came within the shadow of the Tech goal posts. Numerous fumbles, due to the condition of the ball and the field. resulted in the ballls changing hands quite frequently. lloth teams attempted passes, but the ball was so heavy and water logged that it could not be thrown far enough to reach the intended receiver. Stanziale and Albanese both got away several times but just as they got in the clear that old debbil mud!! reached up and tripped them. It was often impossible to distinguished the playersg it didnit matter which team they were playing for, they all looked alike. VVilson and Proterra, opposing quarterbacks, called their plays very conservatively. each Wait- ing for a break that never came. Almquist. Viking tackle, was put out of the football picture for the rest of the season, as the result of a fractured jaw sustained in the early minutes of the game. iff 'UFDM X .A t w J - gg I ' I X g' c gil .A . -1' .f V , J' tx If Page One Hzmdrerl Forty-Two .i..,-

Upsala 7 - Washington 7 The rather weak but pluclqy VVasliing'ton Cola lege eleven held the Vikings to a 7-7 tie down at Chesterton, Maryland .The Upsalans did not play the brand of ball that they were capable of play- ing, as shown in the Wfestern Maryland game. Tt was obvious that the Vikings were the stronger of the two teams, but the final score belies this fact. The teani had six chances to push the ball over the last stripe but only once did they capi- talize on their opportunities. The right side of the line-Tortorella, Knox. and Alinqnist-played brilliantly. The credit for the lone Upsala score goes to Miele, who went over the goal line after receiving one of Stanzialeys long bullet passes. 'XVilson's try for the extra point was good. sy., Mi n 'FLW MXLTLQK S! X 2 L .X X If , '37 J ,fi ,A if X iw -l' , lx Page Om? Hzmdrcu' Forty-0110

Upsala 63 f Lowell Textile O Definitely proving that no longer would they play the underdog to a Lowell Textile eleven, the Vikings sailed over, under, and through the oppos- ing team to roll up a 63-O scorefthe highest score in the gridiron history of Upsala. Coming on the field after a two weekls layoff due to the death of Dr. Erickson, the team im- mediately settled down to business. Albanese's consistent line bucking gave the Vikings three consecutive first downs. Wilsoii took the ball over center from the three yard line. A few minutes later Albanese and Wilsoii led another sustained drive up the field with Albanese scoring on a line plunge. Both attempts for the extra point were blocked by the Lowell mainstay, Captain Hassett. Coach Woerner substituted an entirely new eleven in the second period. Miele threw a thirty yard pass to Nelson in the end zone. In the last minutes of the half Albanese pushed the ball from the Lowell forty to the Lowell six yard line and then carried it over. Miele took the scoring honors in the third period with two touchdowns resulting from his brilliant ball carrying. Substitute Caruso threw a pass to Tortorella for the fourth period inaugural touchdown. Caruso later raced eighteen years around left end and scored another touchdown. The regulars returned to the game with VVilson going across from the twenty and Stanziale intercepting a Lowell pass at midfield, scoring the final six pointer. l If 'Q l fs pf: x 43 f X -ff S N 5 T3 . li f . es' ff : ' ' ef Page One Hundred F01'ly-Tlzrce
