As the NWC champion, the Lewis & Clark was invited to play in the Pear Bowl in Medford, Oregon. The Pioneers easily defeated the San Francisco Gators, 61 to 7, led by the rushing attack of Dick Walker and Rube Maisch and the passing of Clarke Anderson.[3] They were also considered for the Pineapple Bowl on January 1, but the game's organizers instead invited the Denver Pioneers despite a 3–7–1 record.[4][5]
Eleven Lewis & Clark players were selected by Northwest Conference coaches as first-team players on the 1950 all-conference team. Five were named to the offensive team: halfback Rueben Baisch; fullback Stan Blair; guard Jim King; and tackles Elden Stender and Bill O'Hara. Six were named to the defensive team: ends Phil Fraser and Bill Bell; tackle Guy Gerber; guard Bud Cox; halfback Dick Voll; and safety Fred Wilson.[6] The Pioneers also played four on the United Press' small-college all-coast football team: back Reuben Baisch, guard Bud Cox, tackle Bill O'Hara, and defensive back Blair.[7]
