During the first half, when both teams were at full strength, the Frogs showed a net gain from scrimmage of 206 yards to 21 for the enemy and completed five out of twelve passes for 110 yards while Marquette was successfully executing two of five throws for ten yards. The Christians were making twelve first downs to three and finished the day with an advantage of eighteen to ten. | During the first half, when both teams were at full strength, the Frogs showed a net gain from scrimmage of 206 yards to 21 for the enemy and completed five out of twelve passes for 110 yards while Marquette was successfully executing two of five throws for ten yards.

+ | The widely heralded duel between the two All-Americans – Baugh and Buzz Buivid – was stronger in favor of the Texan than the figures actually show. Statistics reveal that Sam completed six of fourteen throws for 118 yards and had two intercepted. Buzz clicked with nine out of eighteen for 85 yards and had three fall into enemy hands. Sam carried the ball twice for nineteen yards gain and Buivid fourteen times for a net loss of nine yards counting three times when he was smothered by the charging Purple forwards while hunting pass receivers. Buzz, while not throwing the sharp, deadly passes Sammy tosses, is doubtless a better pitcher than he showed Friday. Baugh had blocking. Buivid didn' | ||

Two quick openers through the middle, which the Marquetters seemed utterly unable to solve, saw Roberts pound out a first down on the Purple 49. A reverse by McCall got 5 and a right end sweep by Montgomery made first down on the Marquette 40.

A speedy back doubtless could have turned it into a length-of-the-field touchdown run. | ||
