I am confused by the question. VPI played in the Sun Bowl on new years day back in 47, which Hunz mentioned. You then clarified by saying the same thing. So this was pre-1947?

i throw myself upon the mercy of the court and present this piece of evidence taken directly for the Washington & Lee athletics page

Perhaps the best team in the history of Washington and Lee’s athletic history was the 1950 football team that amassed an 8-3 overall record, and won the Southern Conference with a perfect 6-0 mark in league play. The Generals were led by quarterback Gil Bocetti and fullback Walt Michaels and posted regular seasson wins over such teams as West Virginia (26-7), Virginia Tech (25-7), Louisville (33-28), and Richmond (67-7). W&L's regular season losses were to Virginia (21-26) and Tennessee (20-27). The Generals advanced to the 1951 Gator Bowl to play Wyoming on New Year’s Day -- the first school from Virginia to compete in a New Year's Day Bowl Game.

i would not suggest anyone wishing to become a statistician to seek their education from W&L as apparently their goal in life is to make me look like a fool
