"Aw Ref! A Touchdown for Loras?"
Doody on the Loose
"Pigskin" Parade of '48
Davenport, Iowa, Sept. 17, 1948:
Before an opening night crowd of 5,000 fans, the St.
Ambrose gridders defeated a hard-fighting Doane College
eleven from Crete, Nebraska, 13-12.
The scoring all came in the first half with Jack Melligan
making the first touchdown of the season for the Bees on
a 13-yard jaunt. Doane came right back to tie the game
at 6-6 on a 71-yard drive. With Jack Mooney, Joe Petruzzi,
and Art Nixon handling the pigskin, the Ambrosians drove
73-yards to score, with Nixon going over the goal line. Art
Michalik made the extra point to put the Bees out in front
13-6. Just before the half, Doane scored again on nice runs
by Rice and Butler. The extra point was missed and the
score stood at 13-12. This ended the scoring for the game,
as the last half was mainly a kicking duel between Don
Berg of the Bees and Mel Rose of Doane.

ST. AMBROSE 6 7 0 0 13
