Hiram scored touchdowns late in the third quarter and early in the fourth, but Gene Nobles returned the ensuing kickoff from the latter score 100 yards for a Wittenberg touchdown to close out the scoring.

Brown threw for 210 yards while Anderson ran for 83 and Reed Hall added 63 yards on the ground for the Tigers.
