The 1940 Sugar Bowl featured the top ranked Texas A&M Aggies, and the fifth ranked Tulane Green Wave. The game was played at Tulane's home field, so it was technically a home game for the Green Wave.
Texas A&M took a 1st quarter lead with a 1-yard touchdown run from running back John Kimbrough. He would finish the game with 159 yards rushing on 25 carries. His first rushing touchdown game A&M a 7-0 lead. In the third quarter, Tulane's Kellogg returned a punt 75 yards for touchdown as Tulane tied it at 7. In the fourth quarter, Tulane's Monnett Butler, former Oak Grove High School Star, scored on a 2-yard touchdown run. The extra point attempt was blocked, as Tulane took a 13-7 third quarter lead. Kimbrough's second rushing touchdown of the game, rallied the Aggies to a 14-13 win.

“The Management Area of Cherokee
National Forest, interested in fish,
Has mapped Tellico and Bald Rivers
And North River, with the tributaries
Brookshire Branch and Sugar Cove Creed:
A fishy map for facile fishery....”

“Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or
the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the
cistern.
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit
shall return unto God who gave it.
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, all is vanity.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. XII, 6–7)
