1 IN NIGHT GAME Demons Host McNeese for Homecomi ng Homecoming 1973 will be highlight od by the football game Saturday night, Nov. 3 in Demon Stadium be- tween Northwestern and McNeese State University, two of the most pow- erful teams in college division fool ball. Northwestern will be out to even the 22-year series against McNeese. Althogh the Demons haven't lost to the Cowboys since 1967, McNeese still holds an 11-10-1 edge in the series. Last year Northwestern scored a shocking 25-10 upset victory over Mc- Neese at Lake Charles. The loss knocked the 'Pokes out of the post- season bowl picture. In that game NSU's Randy Walker booted three field goals, including two 39-yarders. In 1971 McNeese entered Demon Stadium as the No. 1 college division team in the nation. The Cowboys ral- lied in the fourth quarter to tie North- western 3-3 However, that tie knocked McNeese out of the top ranking. Probably Northwestern's most thrill- ing Homecoming game in history was a 29-28 victory over McNeese in 1969. The Demons came from behind in the fourth quarter as tight end Steve Gas- pard caught three passes in the win- ning touchdown drive. Gaspard is now an assistant football coach at Bossier High. Fullback Mike Harter McNeese, coached by Jack Doland (22-10-1, .667), returns 35 lettermen from a team that fashioned an 8-3 State Fair Game Set For Oct. 20 record in 1972.
