Knights march on Irish The Central game is, ot course, no ordinary football game. A homecoming can also be expected to generate a great deal of enthusiasm. But when these two events occur on the same weekend, the height of emotion reached can only be described by words like frenzy or furor. The fact that the Knights had lost their first two games served only to increase the desire for victory. Throughout the week the cry Beat Central! could be heard in hallway and cafeteriag at week's end this spirit was fed by the homecoming dance and rally. On Sunday, this spirit was on the march. Spirit Soars as Knight Train

.BC. Knight Coach Dick Mattingly Oh, happy day! It was indeed a very sweet victory! By all accounts, Saint Francis should never have been able to beat Central. After all, the Knights had lost their first two encounters without even scoring a touchdown, the Irish, on the other hand, had won their first two games. This merely served to sweeten the victory. The Knights entered the Glass Bowl with a great deal of spirit, but with little cause for confidence, Central, how- ever, entered jubilantly, cheering We've got the Irish Knight! This, too only served to make the victory sweeter. From the outset things went well for St. Francis, the Knights recovered a fumble on the Central five and Tom Huff quickly turned it into a touchdown. By game's end Randy Whately had added two touchdowns and Tim lrvine one. The final score: Knights 30, Irish 6. Ah, sweet victory! Tim lrvine scored the Knights' final touchdown on a three yard plunge.
