(Continued from Page 1) a field goal from the 13 with 2:48 left in the half.LATE in the third period, the Big Red Machine went on a long drive beforefinally bogging down at the Ram 8. Hackett’s boot from the 15 knotted it at 10-all with 3:31 showing on the scoreboard clock.Taking over on its own 36 early in thefourth quarter, the Vikings covered 64 yards to paydirt in six plays, the big one, a beautiful 40-yard dash by Lissak on a quarterback counter.D’Orazio, who had little success inside, took a pitchout this time and swept around right end untouched from seven yards out at 8:43 of the period. But a gusty southeast wind caught Hackett’s conversion attempt and the ball sailed wide.That left it to the defense.AND WHEN RichRyan blasted Dietz for a 10-yard loss and A pass failed to get a first down moments later, Gordon Tech punted and the defense turned it back to the offense. Any kind of drive might have been enough to run out the last six minutes.But when a clipping penalty and three plays resulted in a 16-yard net loss, the Vikes punted from their end zone.Gordon Tech took over on the H-F 35 and just about everyone in the overflowing stands expected Dietz to do his thing.Instead, Norton took a handoff and found a big hole over the middle. Before Vikingdefenders finally ran him down, he had covered 24 yards.Norton carried two more times, moving the ball from the 11 to the 4, then Frank Szmajda blasted over tackle for the touchdown. Thelin, replacing Siemionko, who was hurt earlier, calmly kicked the extra point that knocked H-F out of the playoffs.
