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' | 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.

There were few, if any of those spectators who failed to have their hunger for action appeased by the time they filed out of the big stadium, however. Rarely, if ever, has such a dynamic swirl of pigskin movement been seen on a local gridiron as developed in the early stages of this tussle and before the encounter was five minutes old, the Christians boasted a 3-0 lead. Another five minutes hadn't expired before the Avalanche was leading 6 to 3, and before the period closed the Christians were out in front 10 to 6: to stay. They added another touchdown in the next quarter. | There were few, if any of those spectators who failed to have their hunger for action appeased by the time they filed out of the big stadium, however.

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' | 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.

+ | Here's how quickly they made a home run. Montgomery returned the kickoff 20 yards to his 22. Roberts, McCall and Montgomery carried for 4, 4 and 5 yards to make it first down for T.C.U. on its 35. Roberts lacked less than a yard of first down on a quick opener through the middle, then made the distance for first down on the 45 after Meyer had dropped a dazzling, whirling pass from Baugh. Marquette here went into a 5-1-2-2-1 defense as a guard against the vaunted Frog aerial attack, managed to stop Roberts on a ground play for no gain and then — Sam went to slinging again.

+ | The last touchdown came late in the second quarter, when the Frogs put on a 62-yard drive from their own 38-yard line, where they went into action after a 22-yard return by Baugh of one of Cuff's punts. 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. Roberts waded through the middle again for 10, and after McCall picked up 6 more on a reverse inside left end. Donkey splashed center for first down on the visitors' | ||
+ | For the rest of the half the Wisconsin lads were trying desperately to close the gap with an aerial offense of their own but it was hopeless. The vastly superior Purple line charged through repeatedly to rush Buivid off his feet. He had no time to get set or hunt receivers but could only peg wildly and try for long yardage, a mistake S.M.U. made a year ago in the Rose Bowl. | ||

+ | Throughout the third period the Christians maintained the upper hand, keeping Marquette at a distance except for one rally featuring a pass from Buivid to Cuff when the invaders drove into T.C.U. territory. This offensive wilted when Aldrich intercepted a throw while standing on his goal line and fought his way out 34 yards. A speedy back doubtless could have turned it into a length-of-the-field touchdown run. | ||
