Title
1922 Yearbook
Description
The Ambrosian
Eleven to a 7 to 7 tie. It was with great difficulty that the disabled Ambrosians succeeded in holding the strong Capital City machine to a stand still.
On Thanksgiving Day the Saints journeyed to Prairie du Chien and there played
the last and best game of the season, by defeating the Northerners 14 to 0. In this
game the Ambrosians were at their strongest and played wonderful football. The
Northerners were unable to break up the flashy end runs of the Ambrosians, and the
Saints had the ball in their own possession for most of the game. In this game
Bouquot averaged 55 yards on his beautiful spiral punts.
Special mention should be given Captain Nolan for his strong fighting game on the
line. Playing a hard consistent game, featuring in nearly every play, and never failing
to get down the field well in under punts, he was a tower of strength on both the
offensive and defensive. Possessed of tact and good judgment he made an ideal leader
and St. Ambrose is justly proud of him.
George Bouquot, captain-elect and quarterback, was probably the best open field
runner on the St. Ambrose Eleven. Light, clever, and flashy, he skirted the ends with
astonishing ease. As a field general he demonstrated his ability to direct the team and
under his leadership the 1922 eleven should enjoy nothing but success.
The backfield consisted of Bouquot at quarter; DeClerk, West and Mackenzie at
the halves; Genster and DeCressey at full. Gannon and J. Collins at center; Green,
Kelley and Lamar at the guards; Capt. Nolan and Malloy at the tackles; Murphy,
VanDale and Bush at the ends, rounded out the line. The other men who rounded
out the squad were Schoenfelder, Lampe, Neiters, W. Collins, Heffron, Hess, F. Collins, Watters and O'Hair.
