HARVARD WINS ROSE BOWL OVER OREGON STATE
Harvard dumped Oregon State 21-7 to win the Rose Bowl. It marked the first time in 3 years the big bowl game did not involve two military teams. Harvard built a 14-0 half time lead and held on for the easy win to complete a 9-1 season. Oregon State won the Pacific Coast Conference and was 8-1 entering the New Year's Day contest. In real life Harvard beat Oregon 7-6 in the Rose Bowl.
The only other Bowl game was the San Diego Holiday Classic which matched 10-0 Georgia Tech against Western Conference champion Chicago. The Yellow Jackets had an easy time as they won 34-12.
