In the second contest between the two teams, Chicago AC won by a narrow margin of 4–0. The day was cold and icy, with only 500 spectators coming to watch the event in Chicago. The game was 40 minutes long, with two 20-minute halves. After a scoreless half, Chicago scored a controversial touchdown that awarded them the 4 points they needed to win. The Light Artillery blamed the linesman for bad officiating and bias towards the Chicago team, as one of the linesmen was a brother of a Chicago AC player.
