The second period resolved itself into a kicking duel be-
twen Walt Kinch, of Coe, and Johnny McConville for the Bees.
Midway in the quarter a pass from Bill Loomis to Tony Sacco
brought the ball to the Coe ten-yard marker but the Saints
lost the ball on downs and after that were never in a position
to score. Just before the final whistle Don Dunlop, Coe back,
intercepted a Stan Sosnouski heave intended for Tony Janick
and galloped to the Saint forty-yard line before being pushed
out of bounds.
The Bee line displayed none of the nervousness that featured
its play in the Cornell game and Marvin Craine, senior center,
was outstanding for the Dufordites.
After two weeks of intensive drill the Saints took the field
against their traditional rivals, Augustana, and the scoreboard
at the final whistle read: St. Ambrose, 7; Augustana, 3. A
single, determined offensive thrust late in the game enabled
the Bees to annex the Tri-City title for the fifth consecutive time.
For three quarters the battle waged back and forth with
neither team able to make any very decisive gains. Most of the
first half featured a punting duel between Don Allison for
the Vikings and Stan Sosnouski for the Bees, with the Norse
kicker having a decided edge. It was this advantage that enabled the Swedes to advance the ball deep into Bee territory
just before the end of the canto. A long pass put the ball on
the two-yard line and there the Irish stopped the Swedes three
times in a row before the whistle ended the period.
The third quarter saw the passing of Bob Metz to Allison
counteract the ground gaining of John McConville and Sosnouski. Near the end of the quarter the Vikings recovered a Bee
fumble and a long pass from the forty-three was completed
on the Bee seven. Three times the Saints stopped Augustana
thrusts but on the fourth down Paul Hoglund dropped back
and kicked a field goal to give the Norse the lead.
Tony Sacco made a brilliant return of the kick-off and a
pair of reverses by McConville brought the ball from the Bee
forty-three to the Viking forty-seven. McConville then skirted
left-end and tossed a lateral to Sosnouski who galloped to the
Norse twelve. Sacco and Sosnouski hit the line for sizable
