A dramatic victory of 20 to 13 was theirs! Now only one game stood between the Warriors and another championship!

The game started. Before anyone could catch his breath, Luther North, on four quick plays, punched over a touchdown! Pouncing right back the Warriors scored on a pass play to Seeland. Driven on by a wave of enthusiasm, the Harrismen scored twice more. Leading 20 to I3 at the half, they again trotted onto the field. Now came the real acid test ! The Warriors' line held!
