In Long Island's season finale against Brooklyn City College on November 29, a scoring system devised by Pop Warner was used where one point was awarded for each first down gained by the offensive team. Tries after touchdowns were eliminated as was the kickoff in the second half. Instead play resumed where it had ended in the first half.[3]
