Cincinnati used a strong defense and solid play on special teams to dominate Toledo, 33-13, in the fifth annual Glass Bowl in 1949.

After a scoreless first quarter the Bearcats recorded a safety when Jack Tracy trapped Rocket back Emerson Cole in the end zone. Following a Toledo fumble, UC's Bob Stratton scored the first of his two touchdowns on a 10-yard run. He later added a 29-yard TD early in the third quarter.

Gene Gibson showed his open-field running skills with a pair of touchdowns. He returned a punt 76-yards in the third quarter to give the Bearcats a 27-6 lead. On the next possession, Don Jansen intercepted a Toledo pass and pitched it to Gibson who returned it 80 yards for the score.

UC outgained Toledo, 330-286 on offense, but owned a lopsided advantage on special teams. The Bearcats returned punts, kickoffs and interceptions for 258 yards while the Rockets managed only 97 return yards.
