In the last half Brown intercepted a pass and ran 30 yards for a touchdown. Magee and Weede also scored. This set the score to 19-0 and it remained so until the end of the game. The hard hitting Plymouth Eleven played their last game of the season with Weldoxi High School. Mayo led the home town boys by making a touchdown early in the second quarter. Manning intercepted a pass and ran for a score, and John Rea made the third in the last quarter.
