Cain later worked as a Pac-10 football official, serving as referee in two Rose Bowl games and 14 East–West Shrine Games.[4] As referee of the 1949 Rose Bowl, he overruled another official and ruled that Northwestern's Art Murakowski had not fumbled until after crossing the goal line; the controversial call gave Northwestern the winning margin in its 20–14 victory over California.[5][6]
Cain was inducted into the State of Washington Sports Hall of Fame in 1997 and has also been inducted into the University of Washington Athletic Hall of Fame.[4] He died in 2007 at age 94 in Rancho Mirage, California.[5]
