Replogle, Rothstein, and Sharkey made the most consistent gains, while Rodgersand Zipf tore big holes'in Greenburg's line. Rodger's punting was good, and he kicked four goals from a possible four.

Welty picked it up and tore up the field for 42 yards with Long in pursuit. At the centre of the field Long, by a clean flying tackle downed the runner thus saving a touchdown.
