Franklin, the defensive MVP, returned one interception 45 yards for a touchdown and was named the defensive MVP. Mike Thomas of Greenville scored on a 33-yard run and was named the offensive MVP. Grant Teaff, who would go on to become a legendary coach at Baylor, was one of the Texas coaches. The fans who witnessed this game, however, will not remember it for Franklin, Williams, Thomas, Teaff or even the final score. This one will be remembered for "a murder than occurred in the north end zone of Coyote Stadium during the opening quarter". E.J. Young, a 47-year-old employee of Maskat Shrine Temple, was shot three times and killed.
