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.

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

KNIGHTS RULE CONFERENCE WITH 4-1 RECORD Newman The long trip to Wausau Newman on October 24 was well worthwhile, for the Knights brought back vic- tory number six late that night. Newman’s game plan was three yards and a cloud of dust as they marched to a touchdown immediately after the kickofT. In a like manner, Campion scored immediately after Newman’s kickofT, the last 28 yards ripped off by Lochner. How- ever, the Knights made their extra point and led at halftime 7—6. Early in the second half the huge Cam- pion machine attacked for six points. The rest of the game was a rattle of pads and clash of helmets at mid- field, Campion coming out on top, 13—6. Columbus On October 17, the Knights tallied another victory as they whipped the Columbus Dons. Halfback Jim Brophy scored twelve points with a pair of touchdown runs totaling 90 yards. Curt Lundy grabbed a pass by Bill Lochner for six points. Co-captains Ken Fischer and John Shinners and Mike Smith touched up the 25—12 victory by nailing the Columbus ball-carrier in the end zone for a safety. L. G. Frciderichs adds insurance touchdown. 30
