The Aggies (their school was then known as Utah Agricultural) were co-champions of the Mountain States Conference with Denver, though they would be the one invited to play San Jose State in the Raisin Bowl in Fresno.
The Spartans were an independent team, though they had eight victories under first year head coach Wilbur V. Hubbard.
Jackson returned the favor in the second half with a touchdown pass to Schembel.
Bill Rhyne scored on a one-yard touchdown run to make it 20-0.
The Aggies had the ball at the Spartan one in the first and fourth quarter, but they did not score, a consequence of having only 126 yards the entire game.
