The Buffalo Prospects shutout their opponents yet again. This time it was All-Syracuse, and the score was 23-0. On the first drive, the Prospects were able to drive the field, using a few runs around the ends, a forward pass, and a 5-yard penalty to bring them to the All-Syracuse 1-yard line. Austen Lake then scored the touchdown, with “Hymie” Bleich kicking the goal.

In the second quarter, a pass from “Tommy” Hughitt to Bleich for 20 yards gave the Prospects the ball on the All-Syracuse 7-yard line. Bleich then scored, but the kick was wide. Later in the second quarter, Lake kicked a field goal from the 20-yard line.

In the fourth quarter, Bill Kibler scored a touchdown with Hughitt kicking the goal.
