football ’69 Spirit, drive and determination marked this football season. Forty out-of-shape summer bums reported on August 19 for practice. Only their de- termination kept them going through the ninety degree weather, the injuries and the unbearable physical pain that accompany the effort required for victory. Out of the group of survivors came what was truly a team! It thought as one; it acted as one. On September 7 the Knights opened their season against arch-rival Marquette. Immediately the long August weeks paid off. Although most of the team was unseasoned, the Knights dealt their opponents a 13—7 defeat. A week later the team traveled to Wisconsin Rapids to test their machine against Assumption. Even though plagued by penalties the Knights managed to hand Assumption their first defeat in four years by a Campion football team. 20—12. as they had done the previous week against Marquette. On September 21 the Knights, keyed up by the preceding victories, faced last year’s conference champs, Marshfield Columbus. Coach Campbell said the game would be a tough one. It was. Late in the second quarter a Moore pass was intercepted by Columbus and returned for a touchdown. This was the only real scoring opportunity for either team as the Knights lost. 6—0. The following Saturday the Knights travelled to Wausau to see how they could fare against the Newman team. The first half saw little action except by the punters. After the coaches’ half-time talk the Knights exploded with three touchdowns while holding Newman scoreless, yielding a final score of 19—0. The next test of might was on October 5 when the Knights met the Pacelli Cardinals. The game saw the return of Ron Farina who had been side- lined since August with a severe knee injury. The Cardinals, supposedly a quick team, were soon stopped by the defensive wall of Carstensen. Trausch and Jerrick. Even though the Cards were the first to score, the Knights won handily. 20—6. A third victory in a row again eluded the Knights. Much head pounding by Peterson. Flood, and Johnson could not make up for the advantage Regis gained with a disputed touchdown. The Ramblers finished on top. 13—6. On the following Saturday the Knights met a new foe, Little Chute Public. The Mustangs were an admirable team but no match for the Campbell- Fullerton dynamo, as the 26—6 scored showed. For Homecoming the Knights faced Chippewa Falls McDonnell in perhaps the players’ most important game of the year. The first half was scoreless even though the Knights dominated the statistics. Mike Miller finally crossed the goal line with Campion’s only points early in the fourth quar- ter. The final score favored the Knights. 6—0. The Knights travelled to La Crosse November 1 to meet their old foe Aquinas. In spite of the team's valiant efforts the game ended in defeat for the Knights with a score of 20—6.
