From the first quarter when David Hurst stepped through a hole opened in the right side of the line by H. Mathews to dash 46 yards for a touchdown the game was all East Texas.

James (Cargo) Batchelor completed 16 out of 24 aerials for 121 yards, though he was on the injured list. Sam Houston's only scoring came in the last quarter when Bob Turner hit Calvin Robertson in the end zone with an aerial good for 13 yards. Turner missed the conversion try.
