THE 1920 ROSE BOWL GAME – HARVARD VS. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
The Rose
Bowl Game is an annual American college football bowl game, usually played on
January 1 (New Year's Day) at the Rose Bowl in the Los Angeles suburb of
Pasadena, California. When New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, the game is played
on Monday, January 2 (15 times now).
The 1920
Rose Bowl, known at the time as the Tournament East-West Football Game, was
played on January 1, 1920. In the sixth Rose Bowl, the once-tied Harvard
Crimson met the once-defeated Oregon Webfoots at Tournament Park; Harvard won
7–6, with all of the scoring in the second quarter.
Crimson
halfback Edward Casey was named the Rose Bowl Player of the Game when the award
was created in 1953 and selections were made retroactively. It was the first
Rose Bowl game following World War I in which college football returned to the
Tournament of Roses. The two previous Tournament games had featured teams from
the United States armed forces.
This game
established a pattern of inviting a team from the Eastern half of the United
States to face one from the West Coast. Except for the 1944 game during World
War II, this continued until the advent of the Bowl Championship Series game in
January 2002.
Following
a field goal by future Oregon Sports Hall of Famer Bill Steers, Harvard scored
on a 13-yard run by Fred Church on a drive that was keyed by two catches by
future College Football Hall of Famer Eddie Casey. Arnold Horween added the
extra point, which would prove critical as Oregon could only manage one more
score, a field goal from 128-pound Skeet Manerud. Four other Oregon kicks were
blocked or missed, including a fourth-quarter Manerud attempt that just missed.
The 1919
Harvard team was undefeated, with two close calls; the only blemish was a
come-from-behind tie at Princeton on November 8. Oregon finished with two
losses; during the regular season, the Webfoots fell 7−0 to Washington State in
Portland, also on November 8.
