In their second game of the season the Cubs met the Amphitheater eleven again, this time in the Tucson stadium, and when the final whistle had blown, the score was tied, 19-19. The lead changed hands many times throughout the game, which turned out to be an offensive struggle.

After trailing for a quarter, the Cubs' first score came when Bob Washington plowed his way over. In the final period Greenblatt hit Howard King with a touchdown pass for the last score.

Amphi took an early lead, but in the second quarter Howard Jones raced around end for a touchdown to tie up the game, 6-6. In the final period the Panthers scored again on a power play. After suffering two defeatts from the Panthers, the Cubs finally got their revenge by plastering the Amphitheater Reserves, 52-0. The Panther Cubs did not cross Tucson's thirty-yard stripe all afternoon. The Tucson team had them at their mercy and scored almost at will. When the game ended, Tucson had pushed across eight touchdowns, two extra points, and a safety. These Badger Cubs will form Tucson's reserve power next year, with some possibly breaking into the starting lineup. At any rate they deserve a great deal of credit for their patience and hard work.
