Season
Highlights: After two years at the
helm, Coach Dick Loechtenfeldt passed the reins to Assistant Coach
Mike Honold. Honold guided the team to a 7-3 record in his first
season, and a 4-2 mark in the GCL, good for third place. Coach Gerry
Faust's Moeller Crusaders went 10-0 for the first time and won the
GCL crown. The Panthers' defense allowed only 40 points on the
season, shutting out their opponents 5 times.
The 1965 Panthers dropped their first game
to Dayton Roosevelt, 14-0, but then defeated the Woodward Bulldogs by
an identical score. Against La Salle, Ray Baur kicked the
game-winning extra point as the Lancers fell, 7-6. Moeller's
conversion provided the margin of victory as they topped the Panthers
8-6; sophomore QB Ron Krechting's pass for Elder's conversion
following Ray Baur's TD run was intercepted. Baur scored both TDs in
the win over St. Xavier, gaining 134 yards on the ground. St.
Xavier's attempt to tie the game was stopped at Elder's one-foot line
by a Dennis Grawe interception. Baur again led the ground attack with
157 yards against Purcell. Pat O'Brien and John Vignale added scores
to Baur's to close out the Cavaliers 19-0. The Panthers raised their
record to 6-2 with successive shutouts of McNicholas and Louisville
De Sales. Roger Bacon turned the tables in Game 9, when they shutdown
the Panthers' scoring machine and scored a fourth quarter TD to win
6-0. To finish the season, Elder won its seventh straight on
Thanksgiving, led by Baur's 145 rushing yards, 20-0.
The season scoring crown went to Ray Baur
with 59 points on 8 TDs and 11 extra points kicked. Baur shared the
team's Most Valuable Player honors with Tackle Bob Geers. Both Baur
and Geers received All-City recognition; Geers on the Enquirer and
Post's first teams, Baur on the second teams.
