The Camellia Bowl was a post-season major college football bowl game played at McNaspy Stadium in Lafayette, Louisiana, on December 30, 1948, between the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys and the Wichita Shockers (now known as Wichita State).
The Cowboys were from the Border Conference in their third bowl game of 1948 (a tie to Pacific 35–35 in the Grape Bowl December 11, and a defeat of Ouachita College 40–12 in the Shrine Bowl a week later). Wichita was second place in the Missouri Valley Conference in their first bowl game.
Outgained and outrushed by the Cowboys, the Shockers were soundly beaten by the Cowboys, 49–12. The bowl was never played again due to the low attendance.
