1949 Delta Bowl – Oklahoma A&M vs. #17 William & Mary

Archival footage from the 1949 Delta Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee. The 17th-ranked William & Mary Indians (now the William & Mary Tribe) defeated the Oklahoma A&M Aggies (Oklahoma State Cowboys), 20-0. William & Mary is seen wearing green and gold in this video, Oklahoma A&M in orange helmets, white jerseys and tan pants. There was no audio included with this game film. Only 15069 fans braved chilling weather in Crump Stadium as the William & Mary Indians made the most of Oklahoma A&M’s mistakes for a 20-0 win. The Indians never got outside their own 36 yard line in the first half, but quarterback Tommy Korshcowski passed 12 yards to Lou Hoitsma in the third period for a touchdown. A Cowboy fumble set the stage for Korshcowski’s 22-yard scoring aerial to Jack Bruce in the fourth period. With A&M driving, Indian tackle Lou Creekmur picked off a deflected Bob Carey pass and rumbled 70 yards for the game’s last tally. Jack Cloud was the only Indian rusher of the day, gaining 78 yards in 14 tries while Kenny Roof had 63 in seven cracks for the Cowboys.
