This game, which determined second and third place, was played after the championship game. No boxscore has been found. The Washington Post reported that Ryf was successful on 10 of 12 free throws and that Moyer, Risser, and Zinser "made large scores." Washington's 64-point total stood as a tournament record until 1940 and the 51-point margin remains a record.
