TIGERS SQUEEZE BY TERRY PARKER, GAIN

VIKING FORFEIT

The Columbia High Tigers held on
to defeat the Terry Parker Braves 7-6
in the season opener. The Tigers
were first to draw blood in the first
quarter on a six yard run over right
tackle by Erman Owens. Delvey
Dicks kicked the extra point for the
Tiger eleven. The Tigers continued
to move the ball the first half but
were unable to score. In the second
half the Tigers had trouble holding
the ball and were unable to move.
Parker finally scored with 35 sec-
onds left in the third quarter but
failed when they tried for a two
point conversion stopped by Burl
Harkey. The fourth quarter was a
battle for the defenses. Parker
threatened with 28 seconds left in
the game. Burl Harkey then inter-
cepted a Parker pass to put the game
away.
