Navy again took the ball when Army punted out, but this.time took to the air as Army went into a seven-man line. Cooke passed to Powell who caught the ball on Army's 18-yard line, tucked it under his arm and ran like a scared jackrabbit for the last marker. A vicious Army tackle brought him down on the one-yard line, and on the next play, Cooke slashed across tackle to score. Wood kicked the extra point to tie the two teams at 7-all. The half ended with the ball in midfield.
During most of the third quarter, it looked as if the two teams would end in another tie. They battled ineffectively in mid-field, with neither team able to gain an advantage. Just as the period came to an end, Long passed nine yards to Samuel, giving the Army the ball on Navy's 26-yard line, On a reverse play from Frontczak to Samuel, Army took the ball to Navy's 12-yard line. Frontezak smashed through centre for nine yards, carrying the ball to Navy's three-yard line. Again the big Army fullback took the ball, carrying it to the 6-inch line, and on the next play, Wilson took it across the line over left tackle. Frontezak kicked the point after touchdown, giving the Cadets a 14-7 lead.
Navy tried desperately during the fourth quarter to overtake their rivals by heaving long passes, but none of them clicked. Snow began falling as darkness crept over the stadium, and neither team was"able to show any, power—with Army apparently content to protect its seven-point lead.—United Press,
