The following week at Providence, the Green eleven took up where it had left off. It scored early and then hung on to a 12-0 lead through most of the game. Against the Bruins, however, Coach Blackman unleashed a new secret weapon, fullback Dick Marrone. Termed by the Providence press as a "secret missile," Marrone overawed Brown with a 61-yard flight down the field in the first quarter. He was brought down on the Brown 19-yard line and four plays later Kinderdine went over from the three on a quarterback sneak. Prior to the Brown game, Marrone had been all but unnoticed in the Green backfield.

Brown had no sooner received the kickoff after the first touchdown, than it fumbled on its own 32. The loose pigskin was pounced upon by Gerfen who was doing a fine job of defense. In nine plays the Green moved the distance and Rozycki carried it over.

Brown was handcuffed by the Green defense and except for one drive failed to get nearer than the eight-yard line. Early in the game, for instance, Brown found itself with a first-and-ten situation on the Dartmouth 29 by virtue of an intercepted pass. In three plays the Bruins lost nine yards and were forced to punt on fourth down.

Late in the fourth period, defensive quarterback Dick Beattie made his second interception of the afternoon and carried the ball from his own 22 to midfield. Twelve plays later, and with only ten seconds left to play, Kinderdine connected with end Dave Usher for a seven-yard gain and a touch-down. This time the conversion was good for two points as Bill King passed to fullback Evans.

Rozycki was again the chief ballcarrier with 25 rushes for 108 yards. Marrone had fewer carries but was credited with 117 yards. Kinderdine's generalship and faking contributed considerably to the Green's ability to move the ball. He completed seven out of eleven passes and on four punts averaged 44 yards.
