Traveling to Spokane on the following Sunday the Lewismen reached their lowest ebb in dropping a 17-7 contest to George Karamatic & Co. of Gonzaga University. A 19-0 win over Portland constituted the only local victory of the team during the season, and it was achieved in an exceedingly clumsy fashion.

The next two opponents proved too classy for the San Franciscans and two more defeats were chalked up against them. After leading a tough Texas A&M eleven 14-0 at the half, the Dons folded up be fore their deadly blocking and sure tackling in the second stanza and were routed, 38-14. The one consolation of this game was the play of Art McCaffrey, who turned in the best passing exhibition of the season (TheDon).

Special mention should go to Art (Bomber) McCaffrey, who performed brilliantly during the short time he was in the game against the Rattlers. Art threw a beautiful touchdown pass to Rod Wair, and soon after rambled a long distance up the field on a gallop around end, to be stopped by the last man of the St. Mary's squad. On the next play Art took the ball through center and came up with a broken nose (The Foghorn).
