The Indians' only two drives came in the third and fourth periods, during which they piled up seven stick movers to the visitors' three. Their first march, starting after the Cowpokes' final tally, began on their own 29 and carried to the enemy 23. Two completed passes, the only Tribe completions of the second half, featured the drive and were good for 36 yards.

Quarterback Bill McDonald hit end C. W. Statham with a 20 yarder, and opposite end Billy Laird for 16 yards on the next play. John Smith and Mack Powell toted the leather to the Cowboy 23, where the march stalled with three successive incompleted aer ials, i In the fourth, the Indians drove from their 37 to the McNeese ,31, with Howdy Nugent and Benny Franklin, both reserve backs, sparking the advance. Two more first downs were added to the Tribe yardage in the drive, before they were forced to punt after a six yard setback.

The invaders picked up only 75 of their rushing yards during the second half, with the Cassedy brothers, Ashton and Joe, providing most of it. However, two third quarter passes from Ladner to halfback Ray Simmons and end Warren Herman were good for 31 and 34 yard touchdowns. In the first half, which was all McNeese, the Lake Charles eleven scored in just five plays after they had taken possession in the first quarter, with hard running halfback Jesse Castete setting up the marker with a 34 yard jaunt, and Simmons running it into position on the two for Ladner's TD plunge. McNeese intercepted a Northeast pass, one of five throughout, and drove to another tally covering 47 yards, Castete and halfback Charles Dollar did all the gaining, with the former ending it with an actual lope around end from three yards away. Early in the second stanza, after the Tribe had chalked up their initial first down on a jump pass, Danny Hoak to Powell, the Cowboys intercepted an aerial on the 50.

They carried to the 30, from where Herb Mills, who had done the interception, tossed a 30 yarder to halfback Mac Bryan, alone in the end tone, for the third six pointer before intermission. The Cowboys, who had two immensely heavy platoons, wore down the Indian defense all through the first half, and were led by 268 pound tackle Charles Dees. C. J.
