Ventura, Krupers, Melocke, Spar, Epp. SECOND ROW: Ortiz, Franklin, Di Tomaso, Collier, Romirez. THIRD ROW: Coach Thompson, William, Gonozoles, Fackrell, A ottorocci, Adams, Sarcipse, Coach Schutte. MISSING: Minofee, Willcoxson. Riding with a broken lance at the first of the 1954 Football season, the Knights recoiled at full speed and wound up in third slot in Metro Conference standings. Threatening a few times with Lauro Saraspe, Alonzo Latham and PonchoAdams providing the punch the Gray and Blue were shocked by a high flying Riverside Col lege eleven with deadeye Roger Folsom chucking the norther- ners to victory. A little less cocky with a new mount and lance the Knights hosted the Phoenix Bears on October 1 . Off to a fast start, Al Chapman scored on a 1 2 yard jaunt in the first period and again tallied before the half with Dallas Evans on the scoring end of a Billy Adams aerial. Starting the second half with a cozy 13-0 lead the Knights felt a big Bear Claw as the Phoenix eleven wasted no time in scoring two quick touchdowns to hand a 14-13 deficit on a battered San Diego squad. The Gray Castle almost tumbled down after that ambush. Opening Conference play October 8, the San Diego crew hosted a highly touted El Camino eleven in the annual Optimist Bowl game. Coach George Schutte ' s charges had a bad case of fumbleitis as they dropped their third straight game 13-0 to the Warriors who later represented the West in the Junior Rose Bowl. Finally launching a full scale attack Schutte led the Knights to their first victory, in a crucial contest over Long Beach City College. Pacing the 19-6 win was the Lajolla Express Joe Barrington who led the scoring parade with 12 points and Alonzo Latham also tallied. Again leading the local avalanche Joe Barrington plowed for 2 TD ' s against the L.A. Valley but another second half sneak attack spelled defeat for the Knights. The Monarchs 14-13 win again shook not only the Grey Castle but stunned the San Diego squad. Turning the Conference tables around the Schuttemen again jumped back into the thick of the Metro race as they ran roughshod over the Santa Monica Corsairs. This thrilling Home-coming fracas again featured the passing combo of Billy Adams to Dal Evans and the long runs of Joltin ' Joe Barrington who tallied twice. Adams zeroed in Evans for 1 TD against the highly regarded Corsairs. In the last three games the Knights showed great power in winning 2 out of 3. The wins were over East L.A. 13-7, and Harbor 27-13; the last season loss was to Bakersfield 24-21 in a very hard fought game.
