Mike Harvey races toward the sidelines, searching out a receiver for a halfback pass. DRAMAT 7-0. The Knights finally scored in the second period when Mike Urbano capped a 74-yard drive with a 6-yard dash, only to have the conversion fail. The rest of the game was scoreless, but the Knights put up a terrific fight controlling the ball the majority of the time and barely missing on two field goal attempts. Lacking the ability to score consistently, the Knights dropped their third game to Canton Timken in a 14-6 upset, giving the Knights a 1-2 record. Timken scored in the first and fourth periods on a 75-yard run and an 80-yard drive by Cary Lyons and Iohn Duncan respectively. Hoban's only score came in the third period on a run by Mike Urbano. The drive itself was touched off by a 47-yard punt return. Finding no end to the touchdown drought, the Hoban Eleven dropped the fourth game to Canton Lincoln at St. Mary's Stadium by a score of 12-0. Denny McFadden set up and scored the first Lincoln touchdown in the second period. George Slackford added the insurance, breaking through the Hoban line and running 70 yards for the tally. This was the Knight's third consecutive loss. Finally finding the long-awaited T.D. punch, the Knights rolled over state-rated and very powerful Salem by the score of 28-8.

Iourneying to Canton, the Knights lost another game to a state-rated team, Canton Central Catholic by a score of 38-6. The sole Hoban tally was made by Mike Urbano.

The only Hoban scores came on a run by Tom Moore and a pass from Ed Lieberth to Ierry Savoy.

The Knights scored through Mike Harvey with the team of jerry Savoy and Ed Lieberth making the conversion.
