Ambrose or Dowling will mean the state Catholic high school crown. Last Friday the Knights surprised everybody, including Burlington, with a 7-6 victory. They went to the Iowa town with five regulars riding the bench because of injuries. The Academy squad is thin at its best, and with five subs as starters, the outlook was dark. However, the subs rose to such heights that Burlington, beaten only once and that by a single point, was downed.
