  The

  later
• 2:37
  that

  you

  we're

  But

  there
• 2:44
  were
• 2:44
  other
• 2:45
  very
• 2:45
  eventful
• 2:46
  things
• 2:46
  that
• 2:46
  happened
• 2:47
  in

  1920
• 2:47
  like
• 2:48
  we
• 2:48
  alluded
• 2:48
  to
• 2:49
  at
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  beginning.
• 2:49
  You
• 2:50
  know,

  starting

  1920.
• 2:55
  You
• 2:55
  know,
• 2:55
  this
• 2:56
  is
• 2:56
  one
• 2:56
  of

  the
• 2:57
  early
• 2:59
  Rose
• 3:00
  bowl
• 3:00
  games.
• 3:01
  And
• 3:01
  it
• 3:01
  was
• 3:01
  sort
• 3:02
  of
• 3:02
  a
• 3:02
  sign
• 3:03
  at

• 3:03
  of
• 3:03
  the
• 3:03
  1919
• 3:04
  season
• 3:04
  that
• 3:05
  things
• 3:05
  were
• 3:05
  back
• 3:05
  to
• 3:06
  normal.
• 3:06
  World

  War
• 3:07
  II
• 3:07
  or
• 3:07
  I'm
• 3:07
  sorry,
• 3:08
  World
• 3:08
  War
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  was
• 3:08
  over.
• 3:09
  The
• 3:09
  Spanish
• 3:10
  flu
• 3:10
  pandemic
• 3:11
  that
• 3:11
  sort
• 3:11
  of
• 3:11
  wiped
• 3:12
  out
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  whole
• 3:12
  1918
• 3:14
  season
• 3:15
  was
• 3:15
  over.
• 3:16
  The
• 3:16
  Rose
• 3:17
  bowl
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  previous
• 3:18
  couple
• 3:18
  years
• 3:19
  had
• 3:19
  been
• 3:19
  two
• 3:20
  military
• 3:21
  teams
• 3:21
  only
• 3:22
  playing
• 3:22
  in
• 3:22
  it.
• 3:22
  Well
• 3:23
  now
• 3:23
  there's
• 3:23
  back
• 3:24
  to
• 3:24
  a
• 3:24
  little
• 3:24
  bit
• 3:24
  of
• 3:24
  normalcy
• 3:25
  as
• 3:26
  they
• 3:26
  Rose
• 3:27
  bowl
• 3:27
  featured
• 3:28
  the
• 3:28
  best
• 3:29
  of
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  east,
• 3:30
  the
• 3:30
  Harvard
• 3:30
  Crimson
• 3:31
  against
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  Oregon
• 3:33
  Web
• 3:33
  Foots.
• 3:34
  And
• 3:34
  this
• 3:34
  game
• 3:35
  was
• 3:36
  very
• 3:36
  much
• 3:36
  a
• 3:36
  classic.
• 3:37
  It
• 3:37
  was
• 3:37
  a
• 3:37
  little
• 3:37
  bit
• 3:37
  of
• 3:37
  a
• 3:37
  chilly
• 3:38
  day
• 3:38
  that
• 3:38
  day.
• 3:40
  But
• 3:41
  some,
• 3:41
  many
• 3:41
  say
• 3:42
  that
• 3:42
  Played
• 3:43
  into
• 3:43
  Harvard's
• 3:44
  advantage
• 3:44
  because
• 3:44
  they
• 3:45
  were
• 3:45
  used
• 3:45
  to
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  cold
• 3:46
  weather.
• 3:46
  Oregon,
• 3:47
  not
• 3:47
  so
• 3:48
  much,
• 3:48
  but
• 3:49
  even
• 3:49
  though.
• 3:49
  They're
• 3:49
  northern
• 3:50
  latitude
• 3:51
  as
• 3:51
  well
• 3:52
  above
• 3:52
  where
• 3:52
  Pasadena
• 3:53
  is.
• 3:54
  But
• 3:54
  it
• 3:54
  ended
• 3:55
  up
• 3:55
  being
• 3:55
  a
• 3:55
  defensive
• 3:56
  battle
• 3:57
  like
• 3:57
  many
• 3:57
  games
• 3:58
  were
• 3:58
  back
• 3:58
  then
• 3:58
  and
• 3:59
  you
• 3:59
  know,
• 3:59
  run
• 4:00
  heavy
• 4:00
  offenses
• 4:01
  and.
• 4:02
  Harvard
• 4:02
  ended
• 4:02
  up
• 4:03
  winning
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03
  game
• 4:04
  7
• 4:04
  to
• 4:04
  6.
• 4:05
  Missed
• 4:06
  extra
• 4:06
  point
• 4:06
  attempt
• 4:07
  was
• 4:07
  what
• 4:07
  cost
• 4:08
  the
• 4:08
  web
• 4:08
  foots
• 4:09
  that
• 4:09
  Rose
• 4:09
  bowl
• 4:10
  game.
• 4:10
  So
• 4:10
  that's
• 4:11
  how
• 4:11
  the
• 4:11
  1920
• 4:12
  Rose
• 4:12
  Bowl.
• 4:12
  But
• 4:12
  it
• 4:13
  signaled
• 4:13
  everybody,
• 4:13
  hey,
• 4:14
  football
• 4:15
  and
• 4:15
  college
• 4:15

  no

  more
• 4:19
  disease
• 4:20
  pandemics
• 4:21
  going
• 4:21
  on.
• 4:21
  Let's
• 4:21
  play
• 4:22
  some
• 4:22
  ball.
• 4:22
  And
• 4:23
  that
• 4:23
  takes
• 4:24
  us,
• 4:24
  you

  all
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  way
• 4:25
  to
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  final
• 4:25
  year.
• 4:26
  And
• 4:26
  that
• 4:26
  really
• 4:26
  set
• 4:27
  up
• 4:27
  for
• 4:27
  that
• 4:28
  September
• 4:28
  17

  I,
• 4:32
  it
• 4:32
  was

• 4:35
  The
• 4:35
  mythical
• 4:36
  Ohio
• 4:36
  League
• 4:37
  was
• 4:37
  grouping
• 4:37
  together.
• 4:38
  They
• 4:38
  were
• 4:38
  talking

  about,

  organizing

  better

  and

  no

  team
• 4:45

• 4:46
  stuff

  like

  that.
• 4:47
  Well,
• 4:47
  they
• 4:47
  finalized
• 4:48
  that
• 4:48
  deal,

  got

  some

  Like
• 4:56
  I
• 4:56
  said,
• 4:56
  we're
• 4:56
  not
• 4:56
  going
• 4:56
  to
• 4:56
  beat
• 4:56
  that
• 4:57
  one
• 4:57
  too
• 4:57
  well.
• 4:58
  But
• 4:58
  the
• 4:58
  first
• 4:58
  game
• 4:59
  of
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  APFA
• 5:01
  happened
• 5:01
  on
• 5:01
  October
• 5:01
  3,
• 5:02
  1920.
• 5:02
  So
• 5:03
  really
• 5:04
  the
• 5:04
  first
• 5:04
  time
• 5:04
  two
• 5:05
  NFL
• 5:06
  teams
• 5:07
  franchises
• 5:07
  played
• 5:08
  each
• 5:08
  other
• 5:08
  even
• 5:08
  though
• 5:09
  they
• 5:09
  were
• 5:09
  under
• 5:09
  the
• 5:09
  guise
• 5:10
  of
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  apfa,
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  Dayton
• 5:12
  Triangles
• 5:13
  and
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  Columbus
• 5:14
  Panhandles
• 5:15
  at
• 5:15
  Dayton's
• 5:15
  Triangle
• 5:16
  Park.
• 5:18
  The
• 5:18
  Triangles
• 5:19
  ended
• 5:19
  up
• 5:19
  winning
• 5:20
  that
• 5:20
  game
• 5:20
  14
• 5:21
  to
• 5:21
  nil.
• 5:22
  On
• 5:22
  that,
• 5:22
  as
• 5:23
  we
• 5:23
  are
• 5:23
  in
• 5:23
  World
• 5:23
  cup,
• 5:24
  we'll
• 5:24
  say
• 5:24
  nil
• 5:24
  instead
• 5:25
  of
• 5:25
  zero
• 5:26
  to
• 5:26
  our
• 5:26
  tip
• 5:26
  to
• 5:27
  our
• 5:27
  European
• 5:28
  friends.
• 5:28
  But
• 5:28
  yeah,
• 5:29
  that's,
• 5:29
  that
• 5:29
  was
• 5:29
  the
• 5:30
  first
• 5:30
  game
• 5:30
  between
• 5:30
  two
• 5:31
  APFA
• 5:31
  teams.
• 5:32
  Now
• 5:32
  there
• 5:32
  were
• 5:32
  some
• 5:32
  other
• 5:32
  games
• 5:33
  previously
• 5:33
  where
• 5:34
  some
• 5:35
  NFL
• 5:36
  or
• 5:36
  APFA
• 5:37
  franchises
• 5:37
  played,
• 5:38
  but
• 5:38
  they
• 5:38
  played
• 5:38
  independent
• 5:39
  teams
• 5:39
  that
• 5:39
  were
• 5:40
  outside
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  league.
• 5:42
  The
• 5:42
  Chicago
• 5:43
  Cardinals,
• 5:44
  who
• 5:44
  are
• 5:44
  now
• 5:45
  called
• 5:45
  the
• 5:45
  Arizona
• 5:45
  Cardinals,
• 5:46
  they
• 5:46
  played
• 5:46
  their
• 5:47
  very
• 5:47
  first
• 5:47
  NFL
• 5:48
  game
• 5:49
  or
• 5:49
  APFA
• 5:49
  game
• 5:50
  on
• 5:50
  October
• 5:51
  10,
• 5:51
  1920.
• 5:53
  They
• 5:53
  played
• 5:53
  the
• 5:54
  Chicago
• 5:54
  Tigers,
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  crosstown
• 5:56
  rival
• 5:56
  at
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  time.
• 5:57
  It
• 5:57
  was
• 5:57
  a
• 5:57
  0
• 5:58
  to
• 5:58
  0
• 5:58
  draw.
• 5:59
  Chicago
• 5:59
  Bears
• 6:00
  were
• 6:00
  not
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  Chicago
• 6:01
  Bears
• 6:01
  yet.
• 6:01
  They
• 6:01
  were
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  Decatur
• 6:02
  Staley.
• 6:03
  So
• 6:03
  they
• 6:03
  were
• 6:05
  in
• 6:05
  a
• 6:05
  different
• 6:05
  town
• 6:05
  at
• 6:06
  that
• 6:06
  time.
• 6:06
  So
• 6:06
  Chicago
• 6:07
  Tigers
• 6:08
  and
• 6:08
  the
• 6:08
  Chicago
• 6:08
  Cardinals
• 6:09
  were
• 6:09
  crosstown
• 6:10
  rivals.
• 6:10
  That
• 6:11
  first
• 6:11
  year
• 6:12
  of
• 6:12
  Pro
• 6:12
  Football
• 6:12
  organized
• 6:13
  Oct.
• 6:14
  17,
• 6:14
  the
• 6:14
  Chicago
• 6:15
  Bears,
• 6:15
  who
• 6:16
  were
• 6:16
  the
• 6:16
  Decatur
• 6:16
  Stales,
• 6:17
  as
• 6:17
  we
• 6:17
  talked
• 6:17
  about
• 6:17
  previously,
• 6:18
  they
• 6:18
  played
• 6:18
  their
• 6:19
  first
• 6:19
  NFL
• 6:20
  opponent,
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  Rock
• 6:21
  Island
• 6:21
  Independence.
• 6:23
  They
• 6:23
  ended
• 6:23
  up
• 6:24
  winning
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  game,
• 6:25
  beating
• 6:25
  Rock
• 6:25
  Island
• 6:26
  7
• 6:26
  to
• 6:26
  nothing.
• 6:27
  They,
• 6:28
  you
• 6:28
  know,
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  Staley's
• 6:29
  had
• 6:29
  some
• 6:29
  really
• 6:30
  big
• 6:30
  stars
• 6:31
  besides
• 6:31
  George
• 6:32
  Hallis.
• 6:32
  He
• 6:33
  had
• 6:33
  his
• 6:33
  buddy
• 6:33
  Patty
• 6:34
  Driscoll,
• 6:34
  who
• 6:34
  he
• 6:35
  played
• 6:35
  military
• 6:35
  ball
• 6:35
  with,
• 6:36
  played
• 6:36
  in
• 6:36
  Rose
• 6:36
  Bowl
• 6:36
  a
• 6:36
  couple
• 6:37
  years
• 6:37
  earlier
• 6:37
  and
• 6:38
  they
• 6:38
  had
• 6:38
  quite
• 6:38
  a
• 6:38
  game
• 6:39
  together.
• 6:39
  They
• 6:39
  also
• 6:40
  had
• 6:40
  Jimmy
• 6:40
  Conzelman
• 6:41
  on
• 6:41
  that
• 6:42
  team.
• 6:43
  So
• 6:43
  full
• 6:43
  of
• 6:44
  legends
• 6:44
  there.
• 6:44
  No
• 6:44
  wonder
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  Staley's
• 6:46
  were
• 6:46
  a

  pretty

  year

  at
• 6:50
  the

  Northwestern

• 6:52
  in

  Chicago.
• 6:52
  Notre
• 6:53
  Dame's
• 6:53
  George
• 6:54
  Gip
• 6:54
  played

  date

• 6:59
  Gip
• 7:00
  was
• 7:00
  at
• 7:00
  the
• 7:01
  time
• 7:01
  suffering

  few
• 7:13
  weeks
• 7:13
  after
• 7:13
  his

  End

  up
• 7:17
  getting
• 7:18
  an
• 7:18
  infection,
• 7:19
  some
• 7:19
  say
• 7:20
  maybe
• 7:20
  in
• 7:21
  that
• 7:21
  game
• 7:21
  where
• 7:22
  it
• 7:22
  was
• 7:22
  a
• 7:22
  little
• 7:22
  bit
• 7:22
  wet
• 7:23
  out
• 7:23
  and
• 7:24
  caught,
• 7:24
  you
• 7:24
  know,
• 7:25
  something
• 7:25
  and
• 7:26
  got
• 7:26
  into
• 7:26
  his
• 7:26
  shoulder.
• 7:27
  But
• 7:27
  yeah,
• 7:27
  he,
• 7:27
  George
• 7:28
  Gipp
• 7:28
  died.
• 7:29
  And
• 7:29
  of
• 7:29
  course,
• 7:30
  you
• 7:30
  know,
• 7:30
  multiple
• 7:31
  years
• 7:31
  later,
• 7:32
  the
• 7:33
  coach
• 7:34
  of
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  Fighting
• 7:35
  Irish,
• 7:35
  Knute
• 7:36
  Rockne,
• 7:36
  used
• 7:37
  George
• 7:37
  Gips
• 7:38
  some
• 7:38
  of
• 7:38
  his
• 7:38
  final
• 7:39
  words
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  say,
• 7:40
  hey,
• 7:40
  let's
• 7:40
  win
• 7:40
  this
• 7:40
  one
• 7:41
  for
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  Gipper.
• 7:41
  Became
• 7:43
  big
• 7:43
  slogan.
• 7:43
  It's
• 7:44
  still
• 7:44
  very
• 7:44
  famous
• 7:44
  today
• 7:45
  through
• 7:45
  movies
• 7:45
  and
• 7:46
  everything
• 7:46
  else.
• 7:47
  But
• 7:47
  before
• 7:48
  that,
• 7:48
  December
• 7:48
  4,
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  University
• 7:49
  of
• 7:50
  Toronto
• 7:50
  Blues
• 7:51
  claimed
• 7:51
  their
• 7:51
  fourth
• 7:52
  title
• 7:52
  and
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  eighth
• 7:53
  grade
• 7:53
  cup
• 7:53
  that
• 7:54
  was
• 7:54
  played
• 7:54
  beating
• 7:55
  their
• 7:55
  hometown
• 7:55
  rivals,
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  Toronto
• 7:56
  Argonauts
• 7:57
  163
• 7:58
  at
• 7:58
  Varsity
• 7:59
  Stadium
• 7:59
  in
• 7:59
  Toronto.
• 8:00
  Remember
• 8:01
  back
• 8:01
  in
• 8:01
  1920,
• 8:02
  they
• 8:03
  were
• 8:03
  not
• 8:03
  playing
• 8:03
  Canadian
• 8:04
  football
• 8:04
  yet,
• 8:05
  they
• 8:05
  were
• 8:05
  basically
• 8:06
  playing
• 8:06
  rugby
• 8:07
  back
• 8:08
  then.
• 8:08
  But
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  Grey
• 8:08
  cup
• 8:09
  was
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  battle
• 8:10
  for
• 8:10
  Canada's
• 8:11
  best
• 8:12
  football
• 8:12
  team,
• 8:12
  which
• 8:13
  meant
• 8:13
  rugby
• 8:14
  back
• 8:14
  then
• 8:15
  and
• 8:15
  amateur
• 8:15
  and
• 8:16
  professional
• 8:16
  teams
• 8:16
  alike
• 8:17
  could
• 8:17
  play
• 8:18
  at
• 8:18
  that
• 8:18
  time.
• 8:19
  And
• 8:19
  you
• 8:19
  know,
• 8:20
  so
• 8:20
  just
• 8:20
  some
• 8:20

  history,
• 8:21
  1920

  But

  that

  I
• 9:07
  think
• 9:07
  you'll
• 9:07
  have
• 9:08
  some
• 9:08
  fun
• 9:08
  with
• 9:08
  that.
• 9:09
  We
• 9:09
  have
• 9:09
  a
• 9:10
  paper
• 9:10
  football
• 9:10
  game
• 9:11
  digitally.
• 9:11
  You
• 9:11
  can
• 9:12
  do
• 9:12
  that
• 9:13
  at
• 9:13
  your
• 9:13
  leisure
• 9:13
  when
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  have
• 9:14
  some
• 9:14
  alone
• 9:14
  time.
• 9:15
  You
• 9:15
  know,
• 9:16
  many,
• 9:16
  many
• 9:17
  people
• 9:17
  have
• 9:17
  done
• 9:17
  that
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  taken
• 9:18
  advantage
• 9:19
  of
• 9:19
  that
• 9:19
  and
• 9:20
  some
• 9:20
  other
• 9:20

• 9:20

  reading
