 It was a great battle for three quarters with Erie Tipton, Dukes one-man offensive threat, consistently kicking California in to the hole.
 Duke was stubborn and strong as shown by it's past feat of re- matnlng undefeated, united and unscored in the past season. The Southerners lone score in the 4th quarter was made by Tony Ruffa, star placekicker who booted a field goal from the twenty three yard line.
 Duke thought they had the game won when they repulsed the Trojans on their. nine yard line, but failed to capitalize on a pair of blocked Trojan punts.
