LOGAN 05 CAMPION I8 In a field of gummy mud and water, the Campion Knights defeated the Logannaires, i8 to O. The Campion eleven marched to their first touchdown after they recovered a Logan fumble on the Red and White 30 yard marker. Campion increased the margin to twelve points with a second quarter scoring thrust. The Logannaires threatened only once, traveling from their own 40 to the Knight's l9 yard stripe, where they lost the ball on downs. ln the fourth quarter a Red and White pass fell into the arms of a Campionite who raced to the last score of the contest. Rain greatly hampered the Logan passing attack. LOGAN 0: CHIPPEWA FALLS O Both Logan and Chippewa Falls drove to their opponents' one yard line, but neither could push the pigskin across for a score.

LOGAN 6: MASON CITY 0 ln the final game of the l94l season the Logannaires sunk Mason City to the tune of 6 to O. The gridiron was a sea of mud and the entire struggle took place in a pouring rain.
