Description: This film captures highlights from a football game between the Rice University Owls and the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs. (TCU players are wearing white jerseys.) The Southwest Conference match-up was played on November 23, 1935 at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth. While both teams put up impressive numbers on offense, the turnover margin helped shift the game in TCU’s favor. The Horned Frogs ultimately won 27-6. TCU finished the season with a 12-1 record, defeating Louisiana State University 3-2 in the Sugar Bowl on New Years Day 1936. Although the team lost to Southwest Conference Champion Southern Methodist University, TCU claims 1935 as a national championship year.
