Frank was the basis for the OSU Cowboys mascot
As was the character Rooster Cogburn in True Grit- This was taken from Eaton's autobiography written in 1954...
“Rooster said, "Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!" and he took the reins in his teeth and pulled the other saddle revolver and drove his spurs into the flanks of his strong horse Bo and charged directly at the bandits. It was a sight to see. He held the revolvers wide on either side of the head of his plunging steed. The four bandits accepted the challenge and they likewise pulled their arms and charged their ponies ahead.”
― Charles Portis, True Grit
