The first kicking attempt was blocked, but Berry recovered the ball for his team. On his second effort, Trafton broke through and blocked the punt. Scott fell on the oval back of the goal for the Staleys’ first touchdown.In the fourth quarter Staleys called the passing game into commission and after a few attempts, which went wide of their intended marks, Huffine shot a 35 yard forward to Hinchcomb, who was stopped on the Rochester 85 yard line. A successful attack was made on the visitors’ line, which resulted in Huffine driving through the right side for the winning touchdown.
