Heavily out-weighed, the Giants fought hard, but were unable to stop the strong Mishawaka team. It was no disgrace to lose to Mishawaka who won all her games and who was considered by many as the strongest team in the state.

In this game Davidson was hurt and unable to play any more during the season. After two successive defeats, the Giants doled out revenge by defeating Sheridan. With their powerful aerial attack Marion scored three times, while Sheridan was unable to score against the Marion defense. In the hardest fought game on Memorial Field this year the Giants crushed the strong Richmond team, 12-O. This was the last conference game and left Marion with a record of three wins and one defeat.
