Eliot House hopes for a Rose Bowl bid were dashed yesterday afternoon as an air-minded Lowell aggregation buried them under a 21-0 score before the largest crowd of the House football season so far. Lowell's win put them in a tie with Kirkland for the league lead and dropped the hitherto undefeated Elephants into a tie with Leverett for second place...
...University of Washington, Pacific Coast Conference champion, invited what it considered the best team in the U. S. (outside the Conference) to play in Pasadena's Tournament of Roses game.

The next three years Alabama finished first. Year after the famed Rose Bowl victory with his 1925 team, Coach Wade received a second Rose Bowl bid-this time from Stanford, and this time he tied one of Glenn ("Pop") Warner's greatest machines 7-to-7. Having thus produced two teams which some experts rated as highly...
