Leverett's large-sized Bunnies capitalized on their only scoring opportunity to excommunicate the Deacons of Kirkland House from second place in the Intramural Football League and thereby amass 135 points toward retention of their Straus Trophy. By winning the last intramural game of the season, 7 to 0, the Bunnies clinched the runner-up spot behind the rampant Mastodons from Eliot House.

Bob Zimmerman set up the lone scoring play by tossing a long pass to Bill MacVickar for a net gain of 30 yards. After the whistle had blown, MacVickar bobbled the ball for a moment and then lost it to a Deacon player. As Kirkland prepared to take over the ball, the referee called the play a completed pass, and it was first and goal to go for the Bunnies on the Deacon eight-yard line.
