Jun-24-06  Benzol: Was Treybal in time trouble in this game? 33.a3 looks forced in view of 33...♘b4+ and 34...♖f4#.

  Honza Cervenka: 33.c3 or 33.g3 would prevent immediate mate as well but the fact is that white is objectively lost in final position. Treybal's decision to take draw is hard to understand if you don't know his personality. He was quite famous for his compliancy to accept draw in any situation if it was proposed by his opponent.
Dec-15-10  whiteshark: Game of the second last round. Marshall offered a draw in an inferior position and Treybal accepted it. Grünfeld(!) claimed/remonstrated against this draw and the arbitration panel had to decide...
Apr-27-14  Petrosianic: Treybal actually earned an official censure for this game. Marshall and Treybal were friends, and Marshall's opponents felt Treybal had deliberately refused to win the game in order to help Marshall. The wins are numerous and clear in the final position. (I just ran it through Fritz, which shows -3.45).

It went to the tournament committee. Alekhine suggested asking Treybal to simply give his word of honor that he hadn't deliberately given away the win, but for some reason Treybal wouldn't say it.

So, Treybal got an "official rebuke", but the result stood.
