L, 0-38 San Diego, Calif - 1921 East-West Christmas Classic Centre (Ky.) 38, Arizona 0 Dec. 26, 1921 // San Diego, Calif. 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-Amer- ican 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 inter- ception 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. 1949 Salad Bowl Score by Quarters Team Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Final Drake 7 7 0 0 14 Drake 14, Arizona 13 Arizona 0 7 6 0 13 Jan. 1, 1949 // Phoenix, Ariz.
