Background

The Cowboys were from the Border Conference in their third bowl game of 1948 (a tie to Pacific 35–35 in the Grape Bowl December 11, and a defeat of Ouachita College 40–12 in the Shrine Bowl a week later). Wichita was second place in the Missouri Valley Conference in their first bowl game.

Game summary

The Hardin-Simmons Cowboys outrushed and simply overmanned the Shockers, beating them soundly 49–12. The bowl was never played again due to the low attendance.
