1,760 yards-l mile- gained in rushin from the one. The second half began on a sour note as the Knights were caught in the end zone for a safety to make the score 6-2. Emil Lutz was the game-breaker, racing 67 yards for a TD in the third quarter. The margin was padded in the final period when jack Slinger crashed over from the one to climax a 29-yard drive that took six plays. Hoban dominated statistics, piling up 270 yards on the ground to St. V's 65, leading in first downs 17-6, and gaining another 81 yards passing. The victory over the Irish brought the Hibernian trophy home for the Catholic City Championship two years in a row. The Akron Beacon Journal posted the headline BIG KNIGHTS GIVE IRISH HANGOVERH in the morning edition the following day. Holding an 8-0 record and only one game away from their first perfect season, Hoban was the overwhelming favorite in the game against Canton Central Catholic. For some reason nothing worked on that cold, windy night. The Knights fell victims to the underdog Crusaders by 20-0.
