Upsala 13 - Alfred U. 6 The Vikings once more emerged on the long end of the 13-6 score over Alfred University after a thrilling knockdown, drag out affair. The game was supposed to have been a breather before the Juniata game, ,but the team ran into stiff opposition. The Vikings were hampered by Albanese's bad leg, but Miele filled the fullback post very capably. The first period was filled with long runs but few touchdowns. Vvlilson started things rolling with a sixty yard slant off right tackle from his own twenty to the Alfred twenty. In live plays Miele took the ball over, and Wilson collected the extra point. Again in the second quarter, Miele took the ball over after some hard lighting and brilliant work by the line in opening holes in the Alfred line. Alfred also scored in this period on a thirty yard pass from VVall to Majeski. After the kick off of the second half Majeski went around right end on a reverse for fifty yards, but lost the ball on downs. Miele intercepted a pass on his ten yard line and ran it back sixty-five yards to the Alfred twenty-flve, where Alfred took the ball on downs. The Vikings fought 1nadly to hold their lead with Alfred tossing passes in an attempt to tie the score. Beautiful work by Nystrom, backing up the line on the defense halted the invaderls aerial display when he intercepted two passes to turn aside possible threats. ll fiiifjgfl.

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

Upsala 13 f Juniata 6 After trying for seven seasons to defeat Juniata the Vikings finally turned the trick and in the hardest and roughest game ever played on Viking Field, emerged with a 13-6 dicision. After the smoke of the battle. had cleared away it was found that Albanese was out of action for the remainder of the season with a broken collar- bone, Miele was in the hospital with a concussion of the brain and Knox was out with a badly in- jured knee. The Vikings scored in the first period on a bril- liant surprise forward lateral from Albanese to Stanziale to Tortorella which netted sixty yards and a score. VVilson converted with a drop kick. Starting the second quarter, Jenkins, a hard plunging halfback, repeatedly carried the ball down to the Upsala one yard line. With the stands in a frenzy, the Vikings put up a historic and heroic goal line stand and held for four downs. Teed kicked out of danger. Stanziale intercepted a Juniata pass at midfield, while VVilson and Miele made two first downs. Stanzialels pass to Teed put the ball on the twelve yard line. A penalty put the ball on the two yard line where Miele went through standing up. ln the third quarter Henlsle blocked Teed's punt on the ten yard line and Jenkins scored. Juniata threatened throughout the remainder of the game, but Teed's superb kicking kept them well back. In the closing minute Pelka caught a forty yard pass from Jenkins to put the ball on the Viking twenty-three yard stripe. On the next play YVilson intercepted a pass and made his famous seventy yard run up the sidelines before being overtaken from the rear. .X fr A 1 is f E Mil g 04 p, A W J' S Page Ona Hzmdrcd Forty-F1'-rw
