McKeesport Olympics 0
Buffalo All-Americans 28

Attendance: 3,500

The Buffalo All-Americans had an easy time with the McKeesport Olympics on their way to a 28 to 0 victory. “Tommy” Hughitt, “Ockie” Anderson, and “Pat” Smith accounted for most of the Buffalo offense. In his first game for the All-Americans, “Luke” Urban broke through the line to stop the Olympic offense. Smith ran in two touchdowns, Anderson for another, and Spagna caught a forward pass and ran 65 yards for the score. The All-Americans would have had another score, if it were not for Bob Nash dropping an Anderson pass in the endzone.
