Rawson came to Arlington the following week and kept the Red Devils in hot water all the first half but couldn't score. The second half the locals took to the air and scored twice in the third quarter and once in the final to win 20-7. Arlington playing at Mt. Blanchard the following week played inspired ball the first half and rolled up 20 points. The last half was a very even game and Arlington rang up its third victory 20-O.

The last half Arlington scored Ehrc-ae more touchdowns to win the game 7- .
