Garbisch, the Army center, had Intercepted and caught a long pass from Metre Danes side of the line Then Smythe shot the ball through the air. but Crowley, Notre Dames halfback, intercepted the ball and ran 30 yards to 35-yard line. Crowley then took the ball around right end for another 30 yards and Miller plunged through the line for the remaining five yards and touch down. Crowley failed to catch the goal.
