Kazmaier, a sophomore triple-threat, turned in the game's flashiest play on a fake pass. Taking the ball on a hand-off from the fullback, he spun towards the line, stopping quickly to fake a jump pass. Once the backer-ups had pulled back for the expected pass, Kazmaier took off for 15 yards outside the tackle...
...Emery, but Kazmaier's passes were usually hurled at the wingback or quarterback.

As the season ended (with the Senators 47 games behind), even some of the staunchest fans were boycotting Griffith Stadium.

Towards the end of the game, Valpey employed a helter-skelter "desperation defense," in which one of the guards drops back just before the ball is snapped. The defensive team thus gambles on letting the opposition complete a few short passes; it also has the option of running the ball, but either way the clock keeps running.
