SAN DIEGO, Calif. - A dominating squad from Centre (Ky.) College splashed to a 38-0 victory over Arizona in front of several thousand rain-soaked fans, spoiling Arizona’s first-ever bowl game appearance.
The Praying Colonels held the Cats to zero first downs in the first half, and Arizona was unable to maintain a good drive throughout the game.
Centre’s Red Roberts, one of Walter Camp’s first All-America ends, scored the first touchdown five minutes into the match. Later, All-American Alvin (Bo) McMillin went over the right tackle for another score. Centre led 18-0 at the half.
 The second half was much the same, as Centre dominated every phase. Just as Arizona was mounting a drive late in the third stanza, an interception ended Western hopes, and the Wildcat defense was unable to halt the potent Eastern attack. Centre’s Herb Covington scored on a punt return and a sweep to seal the victory.
