Before the customers had settled down to witness the continuation of the stubborn battle at the beginning of the second half, Elmer Sadocchi, diminutive quarterback, received the kick-off on his thirty-five yard line and raced the entire length of the field in a beautiful swerving, dodging manner, to score the first touchdown of the season for the Gray Fog. Barielles missed the try for point and the score stood 6-0 in favor of the Ignatians.

The other score was the result of a last quarter drive of sixty yards by the Gray Fog, featuring Anderson, Kleckner and Bareilles. Big Bob Kleckner went over for the score from the six yard line. The final count was 12-0 in favor of the Ignatians when Bareilles again missed the try for point.

In the first half things were made lively for the Ignatians when Captain Bailley of the Wolves carried the ball over one hundred yards in three plays, but was forced to leave the game in the initial quarter because of injuries. In the line Captain O'Marie, Hanion and Vin Bray showed well, while Sadocchi, Bareilles and Kleckner gave promise in the backfield (TheIgnatian).
