The game was decided by the superiority of the Viking defence. Weather conditions were not favourable for offensive success and a strong wind dictated field position throughout the afternoon. The Vikings fell behind in the early' going as the Huskies moved m front 7-0 on a first quarter single and a second quarter unconverted touchdown. This represented the first time this season that the Vikes had to come from behind. They tied the score by halftime on the strength of a 27 yard touchdown run by Geoff Chase on a reverse on the last play of the half. Joe Melady kicked the convert. Northwestern chose the wind in the third quarter but got stuck deep in their own end after a good Viking kickoff and a strong defensive stand. A bad snap from (centre resulted i'n a blocked Husky punt and gave the Vikings possession on the Northwestern 22 yard line. The Vikings used a new trap play to score the go- ahead touchdown by Paul McCartney.Melady con- verted. The final Viking touch- down came in the fourth quarter on a pass from quarterback John Thompson to Trevor Erb. Melady, proving he can kick converts as well as block them, was successful again. The Vikings, playing their second game of the week blasted Clinton here Thur- sday, 45-6. The Vikes left little doubt about the out- come by scoring three first quarter touchdowns. ,Ed Craig went 36 yards on a sweep, Pete Stahl went over on a two yard drive and Paul McCartney ran 25 yards on a sweep for the"majors. Clinton got one touchdown back in the second quarter but Ed Craig restored the Viking point spread on a two - yard drive play later in the quarter. The only scoring in the third quarter was a 12 yard field goal kicked by Joe Melady. Vikings coach Bruce Baker said the field goal was the first he has seen in a junior game in his six years as a coach. Melady also booted four converts to give himself a seven point game. Andrew Telford proved his versatility by running the ball well and going over on a two yard dive play m a third quarter march by the Vikings. Lee Frisby finished off another Viking drive with a four yard run late in the final quarter. A two point conversion on a pass from John Thompson to Ed Craig proved to be the final scoring play of the game. The Viking defence ef- fectively shut down the Clinton offense. Ed Craig was the game's leading rusher with 231 yards before coming out in the third quarter. Jeff Lebeau quarter -backed most of the second half and gained valuable experience at that position. All of the Vikings got lots of playing time as coaches Garrow and Baker substituted freely in the second half. Pete Willems, John Thompson and Geoff Chase had interceptions and Lee Frisby recovered a fumble for the Vikings., A member of the GDCI Junior Viking football team bulled his way through the line but just failed to get a hand on this pass attempt in junior action against Clinton here Thur- sday.
