 One of the features of the early action was the smooth maneuvering of the coaches varying their defenses to befuddle the opposition and, one quickly sensed that both sides, expecially T.C.U., had done considerable needless weeping over lack of knowledge of the other side's tactics in the prebattle ballyhoo. The Frogs kicked off to open the show and immediately went into a freakish but effective 4-4-2-1 defense, which soon resulted in the Christians getting opportunity to set an attack of their own into motion when Ki Aldrich intercepted one of Buivid's throws. The leather was on the Texans' 45-yard stripe, but not for long. Montgomery drove inside the Avalanche left end for 15 yards on a reverse that trapped the Northerners' 6-2-2-1 unawares. Donkey Roberts was held to a yard at center and Slingin' Sam cocked his deadly rifle. A bullet pass down the sideline to Scott McCall was good for 24 yards as the Sweetwater sniper quickly sized up the situation and altered his attack when Marquette went into a 5-3-2-1. Sam had plenty of time to spot his man when his mates afforded him perfect blocking. Again the Frogs went to the ground with McCall carrying and being stopped for no gain at tackle as the Avalanche went into a 5-4-2 in the danger zone. Roach let one of Sam's pegs slip off his fingertips and McCall dropped a shovel pass. At this stage, L.D. (Little Dutch) Meyer, the coach's nephew, who had missed only one try for extra point, and one field goal attempt in his three years of varsity competition, lined up on the 22-yard stripe with Baugh holding the ball to try for a 3-pointed from a difficult angle. It was a long, hard try, but it was good with yards to spare both in altitude and latitude. One of the features of the early action was the smooth maneuvering of the coaches varying their defenses to befuddle the opposition and, one quickly sensed that both sides, expecially T.C.U., had done considerable needless weeping over lack of knowledge of the other side's tactics in the prebattle ballyhoo.

 Marquette elected to receive, drove out to the Purple's 45 before Harrison and Aldrich dumped Buivid for a 10-yard loss and forced a punt by Cuff that was killed on the Christians' 14. The lone Avalanche touchdown followed quickly when Baugh kicked on first down to Art Guepe, one of the most elusive runners seen here in months and probably the best back Marquette had on the field. Art took the ball in on his own 40, swung to the left, got some blocking help at the start and then was on his own with plenty of yardage and obstacles yet in his path. Speeding down the sideline he whirled and side-stepped his way into the clear and outlegged the Purple secondary to complete a 60-yard return for a touchdown that erased the early Christian lead. Cuff's place-kick try for the seventh point was wide and it again was the Texans' inning to bat. Marquette elected to receive, drove out to the Purple's 45 before Harrison and Aldrich dumped Buivid for a 10-yard loss and forced a punt by Cuff that was killed on the Christians' 14.

 Throughout the early stages of the fourth quarter the Purple reserves furnished most of the show. Once David O'Brien whirled a pass to Pat Clifford to complete a first down on the Marquette 19 and McClure plowed for three more paces but the drive went awry when Cuff stepped in to intercept one of the former Woodrow Wilson High star's heaves. There was not another serious threat by either side and the game closed with the Cowtown Christians on top of the gridiron world with victories in the last two starts over a highly touted Midwestern power and a previously untied, unbeaten eleven that only Friday was surprise winners of the Sugar Bowl spectacle. Throughout the early stages of the fourth quarter the Purple reserves furnished most of the show.

 As for the game itself, it was a fine beginning for what would become an age-old classic. A fitting end came in the game’s waning minutes. With TCU reserves on the field and Baugh and company on the bench, Coach Meyer reinserted his star player into the game at the insistence of the crowd who wanted to see Sammy play one last time. As for the game itself, it was a fine beginning for what would become an age-old classic.
