This 16 page newspaper has a one column headline on page 8: "College Gridiron Season Closes In East Today"

This game would be a huge upset of Notre Dame by Carnegie Tech. Knute Rockne decided to attend the Army-Navy game thinking his squad would easily handle Tech without him.

This upcoming game is considered one the greatest upsets in college football history.
