Wahlert A week later the Knights plucked the Golden Eagles from Dubuque 34—0. Wahlert crossed the 50 yard line only twice, equalling the feat of Mar- quette. Pat Byrne, Jim Asmuth, and L. G. Fred- erichs took turns hauling in four of Lochner’s touch- down bombs. Ed Schmitt completed the scoring on a 2-yard drive. Opponents find going rough against Knight line. Schmitt runs for touchdown against Regis. Regis On September 26, in defense of the CWCC crown, the Knights bullied the Regis Ramblers. Two minutes after the opening kickoff, Campion led 14—0. Jack Spicer intercepted a deflected pass which set up Ed Schmitt for a 26 yard touchdown run. The hungry Knights recovered a Regis fum- ble and Schmitt scored again. The pattern continued as Campion chalked up a 41—0 win. Assumption A week later on October 3, Wisconsin Rapid’s Assumption cut Campion’s 20 game unbeaten string, winning 7—0. The Knights battled courageously against injuries, fumbles, and bad breaks, but this one was not to be. Fischer clears path for Lochner’s point after touchdown. 28

Marquette On September 12, the Campion Knights took weeks of dust and sw-eat into a game they knew was big, perhaps the biggest of the season. The tough Marquette Hilltoppers dominated the first half of the classic feud, scored only once. Campion guard ‘Hoss’ Shinners broke up the crucial extra point attempt. In the second half the Knights turned the tide, rolling up 100 yards in rushing to Marquette’s 23 yards. Campion’s only score came on a 1 yard plunge by junior quarterback Bill Lochner who then added the game-winning extra point in a well-earned 7—6 victory. Lochner rolls out behind vicious blocking of ‘Hoss’ Shinners. Fischer holds on as Lelich and Schmitt close in. . . .

Ed Schmitt walks away after Assumption loss. Strong Knight Defense confidently awaits opponent’s challenge. Pacelli The Knights bounced back to beat the Pacelli Car- dinals on a bright homecoming afternoon. Campion scored once in each quarter; but, again, penalties and fumbles hampered the Knight’s attack. On the first play L.G. Friedrichs snatched the ball away from a Cardinal end. Ed Schmitt then took it across for - the first of his three six-point drives. Bill Lochner ended the scoring late in the fourth quarter for a happy 26—6 victory.
