During the halftime, the CAA team held a meeting, and it wad decided that Heffelfinger would move to right behind the left side of the line, to patch up any weakness it might have had.
 Russell kicked off, and the ball went flying over the goal line.
 On the 2nd attempt, Brown caught the punt and began to run, but fell over and fumbled the ball.
 Luckily it was recovered by Thompson, who fell on it immediately.
 Deciding to play a punting game, Brown was told to punt the ball back.
 Bert Waters tried to stop it, but he was too late, and the ball flew to the BAA 20 yard line, where Dick Waters (there were too players on the BAA team with the last name of Waters, whether or not they are related is unknown) fell on it.

Chicago AA held the line, and soon had the ball again with a great position to score.
 It looked like CAA would tie the game up with three short gains by Heffelfinger, but a fumble on a backwards pass lost this advantage, and Boston AA recovered.

Curtis made another run of 15 yards down the left side of the field, and was tackled in a joint Heffelfinger and Brown attack.
 A fumble ensued on the following play, but BAA recovered it.
 They would make no more gains though, and punted off to Slater.

Heffelfinger broke through the weaker left side of BAA and made 5 yards with 3 men on his back.
 Richards was sent on the next play through the middle but was nailed by Bert Waters.
 Captain Stevenson was forced to call for a kick, and Brown sent the oval 25 yards down the field.
 It was a very low ball, and touched a number of CAA and BAA hands, before finally being recovered by Boston AA.

Boston AA could not find a weak point in the Chicago AA defensive line now that Heffelfinger was playing on the left, so the ball was turned over again.

Thompson, who had been out for a minor injury, came in to play the downs.
 Thomas was sent through the middle, but turned the ball over on a fumble.

Once again the men of Boston could not advance the football, and was sent back to CAA for another set of downs.

With the ball in the hands of Jesse Van Doozer, the Chicago AA sat back, and watched the Nebraska native wrap up 6 gains on downs, greatly helping to achieve their first, and only touchdown of the day.
 On the first attempt he made 2, and then a run of 8 yards, before a rare slip with no gain.
 On the next couple plays Van Doozer made his way slower down the field, with small gains of 2 to 4 yards per down.
 Richards was sent for 4 more yards, and then Brown went through the center for 7 yards.
 On the next play Van Doozer brought the ball all the way to the goal-line, and on the play after Brown wrapped up the possession with a hard-fought touchdown.
 Chicago AA 4, Boston AA 4.
 The CAA crowd cheered with excitement, thinking they were about to win the brutal Thanksgiving day contest, but Brown missed what was called a "sure goal", the score stood, tied 4 to 4.

Russell kicked the ball back to Chicago, and Thomas carried it 8 yards before being tackled by Bert Waters.
 On the next play the best run of the day would occur.
 Heffelfinger was given the ball, and making an opening between Guard and Tackle, dashed through, and ran 40 yards before a late tackle by Gonterman, who came from behind and saved the game for BAA.
 Another few short gains would occur, before another critical point of the contest was revealed.
 Heffelfinger took the ball and ran through the center, with nearly every player dog piling, while the ball rolled out and on to the side-line.
 Slater, who was one of the only men not in the push, did not see the ball at first, and if he had noticed it sooner, must likely would have scored the winning points of the day.
 But his sight was too late, and by the time he got to the ball, was tackled by a BAA defender.
 the tactic of bombarding the weak side of the line continued, with LeMoyne receiving an injury from the practice and sitting out the remainder of the game.
 Slater had just been given the ball when the final time was called, cementing the final score, 4 to 4.
 
Chicago AA had kept the ball almost entirely
