American college football season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1949 Emory and Henry Wasps football team represented Emory and Henry College during the 1949 college football season.[2] In Conley Snidow's second season as head coach, the Wasps compiled a 11–1 record and outscored their opponents by a total of 323 to 121. Emory and Henry won two conference championships, with a 4–0 record in the Smoky Mountain Conference and a 2–0 record in the first season of competition for the Virginia Little Six Conference. Another rarity was Emory and Henry's two postseason bowl games, a Thanksgiving Day game against the Hanover Panthers in the Burley Bowl and a contest against Saint Vincent in the Tangerine Bowl. The Wasps were also named Virginia Sports team of the Year by the Associated Press in December.[3]
