San Diego Marines came in 294 days into reign #67, which began with a win over Loyola Marymount, with one defense already behind it; this was its second defense. It was the last defense: Fresno State took the belt in the very next belt game, on September 24, 1932.
For West Coast Army this was its 2nd shot at the belt; it had never held the belt.
This is the only time San Diego Marines and West Coast Army have met with the belt on the line.
