My late father was a teammate of Paul's at Mizzou. Paul was a junior when my Dad was a senior on the 1939 team. According to my Dad, Paul was a very likable guy, a real leader. Tragically, after playing tennis in 1970, Paul died of a heart attack, much too young, at age 50.
It was an excerpt from a VHS video made in 1990 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Missouri football. That was the extent of the tribute to Christman and 1939 team, but there is a lot more on that video about the hstory of football from 1890 - 1990.
Missouri blog Rock M Nation has a great writeup for Pitchin' Paul on their site...
