Description
Zitkus (65), Ware (34) and Floerke (right) decide its time
to end this Lewis ballcarrier's jaunt.
ST. AMBROSE . . . 15
QUINCY . . . . . . . . 0
The Bees displayed plenty of power in
upsetting highly-touted Quincy's Hawks,
parlaying the accurate heaves of Abbott and
the fine defensive play of the Ambrose forward wall. Larry Zitkus, Ralph Knickrehm,
Jack Smerdon, Bill Kenney, Jim Murphy,
and J. J. Hanrahan supplied the muscle
work up front, and Dick Lingle, Jack Brook-
hart and Ken Floerke sparked the play in
the secondary.
A 35-yard toss from Abbott to Floerke
ended on the one-yard line, but the ensuing
play saw the stocky fullback from Saginaw,
Michigan, power his way into the end zone.
Lingle's try for the point was unsuccessful.
Lingle was the target that Abbott hit
with a 50-yard pass for a TD in the second
period. This time Lingle's boot was perfect.
Leo Deutsch's linemen showed their mettle in the second half with some terrific defensive play, which resulted in a safety to
sew up the contest for the Davenport eleven.
