  you

  can
• 2:26
  take
• 2:27
  your
• 2:27
  hand
• 2:27
  off
• 2:27
  the
• 2:27
  Bible
• 2:28
  now,
• 2:28
  then
• 2:28
  we'll
• 2:29
  get
• 2:29
  your
• 2:29
  testimony
• 2:30
  underway
• 2:31
  for
• 2:32
  your
• 2:32
  story
• 2:32
  that
• 2:32
  you
• 2:32
  wrote
• 2:33
  a
• 2:34
  little
• 2:34
  while
• 2:34
  ago
• 2:35
  called
• 2:35
  Harvard's
• 2:35
  1936
• 2:36
  Rose
• 2:37
  bowl
• 2:37
  invitation.
• 2:38
  Why
• 2:38
  don't
• 2:38
  you
• 2:39
  tell
• 2:39
  the
• 2:39
  tale,
• 2:39
  Tim?
• 2:41
  Yeah,
• 2:41
  so
• 2:42
  this
• 2:43
  we've
• 2:44
  been
• 2:44
  doing,
• 2:44
  you
• 2:44
  know,
• 2:45
  because
• 2:45
  it's
• 2:45
  bowl
• 2:46
  season,
• 2:46
  we've
• 2:46
  been
• 2:46
  doing
• 2:47
  a
• 2:47
  couple
• 2:47
  different
• 2:47
  stories
• 2:47
  on,
• 2:48
  on
• 2:48
  bowls
• 2:49
  of
• 2:49
  late,
• 2:49
  but
• 2:50
  just
• 2:50
  as
• 2:51
  a
• 2:51
  reminder
• 2:51
  if
• 2:52
  anybody
• 2:52
  missed
• 2:52
  earlier
• 2:53
  episodes.
• 2:54
  So
• 2:55
  when
• 2:55
  the
• 2:55
  Bulls
• 2:56
  first
• 2:57
  got
• 2:57
  started,
• 2:57
  well,
• 2:58
  when
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  Rose
• 2:58
  bowl
• 2:59
  got
• 2:59
  started,
• 2:59
  the
• 3:00
  Rose
• 3:00
  bowl
• 3:00
  committee
• 3:01
  selected
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  teams
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  participate.
• 3:05
  And
• 3:05
  then
• 3:05
  once
• 3:06
  they,
• 3:06
  you
• 3:06
  know,
• 3:07
  they
• 3:07
  basically
• 3:07
  reached
• 3:08
  an
• 3:08
  agreement
• 3:08
  that
• 3:08
  they
• 3:08
  would
• 3:08
  always
• 3:09
  invite
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  champion
• 3:10
  of
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  Pacific
• 3:11
  Coast
• 3:11
  Conference.
• 3:12
  And
• 3:12
  then
• 3:13
  basically
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  responsibility
• 3:15
  for
• 3:15
  the
• 3:15
  invitation
• 3:15
  transferred
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  them.
• 3:16
  So
• 3:17
  the
• 3:18
  team
• 3:19
  or
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  athletic
• 3:20
  director
• 3:20
  of
• 3:21
  whoever
• 3:22
  was
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  PCC
• 3:23
  representative,
• 3:24
  they
• 3:24
  got
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  choose
• 3:25
  whoever
• 3:25
  they
• 3:25
  wanted
• 3:26
  to,
• 3:26
  you
• 3:26
  know,
• 3:26
  from
• 3:27
  typically,
• 3:27
  you
• 3:27
  know,
• 3:27
  from
• 3:28
  the
• 3:28
  eastern
• 3:28
  side
• 3:28
  of
• 3:28
  the
• 3:28
  country.
• 3:30
  So
• 3:32
  in,
• 3:34
  you
• 3:34
  know,
• 3:34
  so
• 3:34
  that's,
• 3:35
  you
• 3:35
  know,
• 3:35
  back,
• 3:36
  you
• 3:36
  know,
• 3:36
  that
• 3:36
  was
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  case
• 3:37
  back
• 3:37
  in
• 3:37
  1936.
• 3:39
  And
• 3:39
  so
• 3:40
  during
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  36
• 3:42
  or
• 3:42
  it
• 3:42
  would
• 3:42
  have
• 3:43
  been
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  35
• 3:43
  season,
• 3:44
  Cal,
• 3:44
  Stanford
• 3:45
  and
• 3:46
  UCLA
• 3:47
  tied
• 3:47
  for
• 3:47
  the
• 3:48
  Pacific
• 3:48
  Coast
• 3:48
  Championship.
• 3:49
  But
• 3:50
  then
• 3:50
  they,
• 3:50
  for
• 3:51
  one,
• 3:51
  one
• 3:51
  way
• 3:51
  or
• 3:51
  another,
• 3:52
  Stanford
• 3:53
  got
• 3:53
  the
• 3:53
  invitation.
• 3:55
  So
• 3:55
  then
• 3:55
  it
• 3:55
  became
• 3:56
  Stanford's
• 3:57
  decision
• 3:57
  in
• 3:58
  terms
• 3:58
  of
• 3:58
  who
• 3:58
  they
• 3:58
  were
• 3:58
  going
• 3:59
  to
• 3:59
  invite.
• 4:00
  And
• 4:00
  during
• 4:01
  that
• 4:01
  season,
• 4:01
  the
• 4:02
  top
• 4:02
  teams
• 4:02
  were
• 4:03
  Minnesota,
• 4:04
  smu,
• 4:04
  Princeton,
• 4:05
  TCU,
• 4:06
  and
• 4:06
  lsu.
• 4:09
  The
• 4:09
  Big
• 4:09
  Ten
• 4:09
  barred
• 4:10
  post
• 4:10
  season
• 4:10
  play,
• 4:11
  and
• 4:12
  so
• 4:12
  Minnesota
• 4:12
  was
• 4:12
  out.
• 4:13
  And
• 4:14
  Princeton
• 4:14
  was
• 4:15
  part
• 4:15
  of
• 4:15
  an
• 4:15
  agreement
• 4:16
  that
• 4:16
  said
• 4:16
  they
• 4:17
  can't
• 4:17
  do
• 4:17
  Prince
• 4:17
  or
• 4:18
  postseason
• 4:18
  play
• 4:19
  either.
• 4:20
  So
• 4:20
  they
• 4:20
  were
• 4:21
  out.
• 4:21
  So.
• 4:23
  And
• 4:23
  as
• 4:23
  it
• 4:23
  turned
• 4:24
  out,
• 4:25
  several
• 4:25
  of
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  contending
• 4:26
  teams
• 4:27
  had
• 4:28
  Thanksgiving
• 4:28
  Day
• 4:29
  games.
• 4:29
  You
• 4:30
  know,
• 4:30
  back
• 4:30
  then,
• 4:31
  Thanksgiving
• 4:31
  Day
• 4:32
  games
• 4:32
  were
• 4:32
  a
• 4:32
  bigger
• 4:32
  deal
• 4:33
  than
• 4:33
  they
• 4:33
  are
• 4:33
  now.
• 4:34
  But.
• 4:36
  And
• 4:36
  so
• 4:37
  Harvard
• 4:38
  lost
• 4:39
  to
• 4:39
  Yale
• 4:40
  in
• 4:40
  their
• 4:40
  last
• 4:41
  game
• 4:41
  of
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  season,
• 4:41
  the
• 4:42
  weekend
• 4:42
  before
• 4:42
  Thanksgiving,
• 4:44
  leaving
• 4:45
  them
• 4:45
  at
• 4:45
  a
• 4:45
  3
• 4:45
  and
• 4:45
  6
• 4:46
  record.
• 4:47
  So
• 4:49
  kind
• 4:49
  of
• 4:50
  it
• 4:50
  was
• 4:50
  a
• 4:50
  little
• 4:50
  bit
• 4:50
  strange,
• 4:51
  but
• 4:51
  William
• 4:52
  Bingham,
• 4:52
  who
• 4:52
  was
• 4:53
  Harvard's
• 4:54
  athletic
• 4:54
  director
• 4:55
  at
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  time,
• 4:56
  he
• 4:56
  received
• 4:56
  a
• 4:57
  telegraph
• 4:58
  from
• 4:59
  Stanford's
• 5:01
  athletic
• 5:02
  director,
• 5:02
  guy
• 5:02
  named
• 5:03
  Alfred
• 5:03
  Masters.
• 5:04
  He
• 5:05
  gets
• 5:05
  a
• 5:05
  telegraph
• 5:05
  from
• 5:06
  this
• 5:06
  guy
• 5:06
  inviting
• 5:07
  Harvard
• 5:09
  to
• 5:09
  participate
• 5:09
  in
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  Rose
• 5:10
  bowl.
• 5:11
  And
• 5:12
  they're
• 5:12
  like,
• 5:12
  what,
• 5:13
  what
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  heck?
• 5:13
  I
• 5:14
  mean,
• 5:14
  it,
• 5:14
  you
• 5:14
  know,
• 5:15
  the,
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  Rose,
• 5:15
  the,
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  invitation
• 5:17
  wasn't
• 5:17
  always
• 5:17
  to
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  best
• 5:18
  team.
• 5:18
  You
• 5:19
  know,
• 5:19
  typically,
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  know,
• 5:20
  certainly
• 5:20
  one
• 5:20
  of
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  better
• 5:21
  teams,
• 5:21
  but
• 5:21
  there
• 5:21
  might
• 5:22
  have
• 5:22
  been
• 5:22
  one
• 5:22
  reason
• 5:22
  or
• 5:23
  another
• 5:23
  why
• 5:23
  you'd
• 5:23
  want
• 5:23
  to
• 5:24
  invite
• 5:24
  somebody
• 5:24
  else.
• 5:26
  And
• 5:27
  so,
• 5:27
  you
• 5:28
  know,
• 5:28
  Harvard
• 5:28
  was
• 5:28
  like,
• 5:29
  what?
• 5:29
  The.
• 5:29
  This
• 5:30
  makes
• 5:30
  no
• 5:30
  sense.
• 5:30
  But
• 5:31
  anyways,
• 5:32
  they.
• 5:32
  This.
• 5:33
  The
• 5:33
  Harvard
• 5:34
  athletic
• 5:34
  director
• 5:34
  writes
• 5:35
  back
• 5:35
  and
• 5:36
  he
• 5:36
  says,
• 5:36
  I'm
• 5:36
  going
• 5:36
  to
• 5:36
  read
• 5:37
  this
• 5:37
  verbatim.
• 5:38
  Harvard
• 5:38
  regrets
• 5:39
  it
• 5:39
  cannot
• 5:39
  accept
• 5:40
  your
• 5:40
  bowl
• 5:40
  invitation
• 5:41
  this
• 5:41
  year.
• 5:42
  Due
• 5:43
  to
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  Harvard,
• 5:43
  Yale,
• 5:43
  Princeton
• 5:44
  agreement,
• 5:44
  we
• 5:44
  are
• 5:44
  unable
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  engage
• 5:45
  in
• 5:45
  any
• 5:46
  postseason
• 5:46
  games.
• 5:47
  It
• 5:48
  will
• 5:48
  be
• 5:48
  impossible
• 5:49
  next
• 5:49
  year
• 5:49
  because
• 5:50
  our
• 5:50
  present
• 5:50
  policy
• 5:51
  extends
• 5:51
  until
• 5:52
  1938.
• 5:53
  Good
• 5:54
  luck
• 5:54
  on
• 5:54
  New
• 5:54
  Year's
• 5:55
  Day.
• 5:55
  Okay,
• 5:56
  so
• 5:57
  he
• 5:57
  telegraphs
• 5:58
  this
• 5:58
  response
• 5:59
  to
• 5:59
  Stanford
• 6:00
  and
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  Stanford
• 6:02
  athletic
• 6:02
  director
• 6:04
  gets
• 6:04
  this
• 6:04
  thing
• 6:04
  and
• 6:05
  he's
• 6:05
  surprised
• 6:06
  that
• 6:06
  Harvard
• 6:06
  turned
• 6:07
  him
• 6:07
  down
• 6:07
  because
• 6:08
  he
• 6:08
  never
• 6:08
  invited
• 6:09
  Harvard.
• 6:10
  So,
• 6:11
  you
• 6:11
  know,
• 6:12
  yeah,
• 6:13
  all
• 6:13
  of
• 6:14
  a
• 6:14
  sudden
• 6:14
  he's
• 6:14
  getting
• 6:14
  this
• 6:14
  response
• 6:15
  from
• 6:15
  Harvard.
• 6:15
  You
• 6:16
  know,
• 6:16
  he's
• 6:16
  like,
• 6:16
  why
• 6:17
  are
• 6:17
  they
• 6:17
  sending
• 6:17
  me
• 6:17
  a
• 6:17
  response?
• 6:19
  So,
• 6:19
  you
• 6:20
  know,
• 6:20
  the,
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  Stanford
• 6:22
  athletic
• 6:22
  director
• 6:23
  probably
• 6:23
  would
• 6:24
  have
• 6:24
  like
• 6:25
  been
• 6:25
  quiet
• 6:25
  about
• 6:26
  it
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  you
• 6:26
  know,
• 6:27
  kind
• 6:27
  of
• 6:27
  kept
• 6:27
  it
• 6:27
  under
• 6:27
  wraps
• 6:28
  and
• 6:28
  somehow
• 6:28
  reached
• 6:28
  out
• 6:29
  to,
• 6:29
  to
• 6:29
  Harvard.
• 6:30
  But
• 6:31
  someone,
• 6:33
  whoever
• 6:34
  was
• 6:34
  kind
• 6:34
  of
• 6:35
  behind
• 6:35
  this
• 6:35
  whole
• 6:35
  thing
• 6:36
  had
• 6:36
  also
• 6:37
  sent
• 6:37
  a
• 6:38
  tele,
• 6:38
  basically
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  similar
• 6:39
  telegraph
• 6:40
  to
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  Stanford
• 6:42
  student
• 6:43
  newspaper
• 6:43
  and
• 6:44
  signed
• 6:44
  it
• 6:45
  under
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  fake
• 6:46
  name
• 6:47
  as
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  editor
• 6:47
  of
• 6:48
  Harvard's
• 6:48
  newspaper.
• 6:49
  So.
• 6:50
  So
• 6:51
  no
• 6:51
  one's
• 6:51
  ever
• 6:52
  really
• 6:52
  figured
• 6:52
  out
• 6:52
  who
• 6:53
  was
• 6:53
  behind
• 6:53
  all
• 6:54
  this
• 6:54
  stuff.
• 6:55
  But
• 6:55
  you
• 6:56
  know,
• 6:56
  it's
• 6:56
  this
• 6:56
  whole
• 6:56
  thing
• 6:57
  where
• 6:57
  somebody
• 6:58
  pulls
• 6:58
  off
• 6:58
  this
• 6:59
  prank
• 7:00
  or
• 7:00
  hoax
• 7:01
  of,
• 7:02
  you
• 7:02
  know,
• 7:02
  basically
• 7:03
  tricking
• 7:03
  Harvard's
• 7:04
  athletic
• 7:04
  director
• 7:05
  into
• 7:05
  thinking
• 7:05
  that
• 7:06
  they
• 7:06
  got
• 7:06
  invited
• 7:06
  to
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  Rose
• 7:07
  Bowl.
• 7:08
  And
• 7:08
  Stanford's
• 7:09
  like,
• 7:10
  what
• 7:10
  the
• 7:11
  heck?
• 7:11
  We
• 7:11
  didn't
• 7:11
  invite
• 7:11
  you
• 7:12
  guys.
• 7:12
  You
• 7:12
  know,
• 7:12
  you're
• 7:12
  three
• 7:13
  and
• 7:13
  six.
• 7:14
  It
• 7:14
  could
• 7:14
  have
• 7:14
  been
• 7:15
  worse
• 7:15
  if
• 7:15
  he
• 7:15
  accepted
• 7:16
  the
• 7:16
  offer.
• 7:16
  Yeah.
• 7:17
  Made
• 7:17
  plans
• 7:18
  in
• 7:18
  Harvard,
• 7:18
  showing
• 7:19
  up
• 7:19
  out
• 7:19
  there,
• 7:19
  and
• 7:20
  now
• 7:20
  you
• 7:20
  have
• 7:20
  three
• 7:20
  teams
• 7:21
  to
• 7:21
  play
• 7:22
  one
• 7:22
  game.
• 7:23
  Yeah.
• 7:23
  So
• 7:24
  anyways,
• 7:24
  you
• 7:24
  know,
• 7:25
  Stanford
• 7:25
  then,
• 7:26
  you
• 7:26
  know,
• 7:26
  ends
• 7:27
  up
• 7:27
  inviting
• 7:28
  smu.
• 7:29
  But
• 7:30
  it's
• 7:30
  funny
• 7:30
  that
• 7:30
  you
• 7:31
  say,
• 7:31
  well,
• 7:31
  it's.
• 7:31
  What
• 7:32
  if
• 7:32
  they
• 7:32
  accepted?
• 7:33
  Because
• 7:35
  in
• 7:35
  doing
• 7:35
  the
• 7:35
  research
• 7:36
  for
• 7:37
  this
• 7:37
  story,
• 7:37
  I
• 7:38
  came
• 7:38
  across
• 7:39
  a
• 7:39
  high
• 7:39
  school,
• 7:40
  Casopolis,
• 7:41
  here
• 7:41
  in
• 7:42
  Michigan.
• 7:43
  And
• 7:43
  in
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  some.
• 7:44
  Sometime
• 7:45
  in
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  1950s,
• 7:47
  their
• 7:47
  high
• 7:48
  school
• 7:48
  band
• 7:48
  received
• 7:49
  an
• 7:49
  invitation
• 7:50
  to
• 7:50
  march
• 7:50
  in
• 7:51
  the
• 7:51
  Rose
• 7:51
  bowl
• 7:51
  parade.
• 7:52
  So
• 7:53
  these
• 7:53
  kids
• 7:53
  are
• 7:53
  just
• 7:54
  ecstatic,
• 7:54
  all
• 7:55
  excited,
• 7:55
  and
• 7:55
  they
• 7:55
  start,
• 7:56
  you
• 7:57
  know,
• 7:57
  holding
• 7:57
  fundraisers
• 7:58
  to
• 7:58
  raise
• 7:58
  the
• 7:59
  money
• 7:59
  to,
• 7:59
  you
• 7:59
  know,
• 8:00
  ship
• 8:00
  all
• 8:01
  these
• 8:01
  kids
• 8:01
  out
• 8:01
  there
• 8:01
  to.
• 8:02
  To
• 8:02
  Pasadena.
• 8:03
  And
• 8:04
  at
• 8:04
  one
• 8:04
  point,
• 8:04
  the.
• 8:05
  The
• 8:06
  principal
• 8:06
  is
• 8:07
  like,
• 8:07
  you
• 8:07
  know,
• 8:07
  we
• 8:07
  haven't
• 8:08
  heard
• 8:08
  from
• 8:08
  these
• 8:08
  guys.
• 8:08
  Maybe
• 8:09
  we
• 8:09
  ought
• 8:09
  to
• 8:09
  check
• 8:09
  this
• 8:10
  out.
• 8:10
  And
• 8:11
  so
• 8:11
  he.
• 8:11
  He
• 8:12
  contacts
• 8:12
  the
• 8:13
  Rose
• 8:13
  bowl
• 8:13
  people
• 8:14
  and
• 8:14
  says,
• 8:14
  hey,
• 8:14
  you
• 8:15
  know,
• 8:15
  we've
• 8:15
  got
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  invitation.
• 8:16
  Can
• 8:16
  you
• 8:17
  give
• 8:17
  us
• 8:17
  specifics
• 8:18
  on
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  arrangements,
• 8:19
  hotels,
• 8:19
  that
• 8:20
  kind
• 8:20
  of
• 8:20
  thing?
• 8:20
  And
• 8:21
  Rose
• 8:21
  Paul's
• 8:21
  like,
• 8:22
  we
• 8:22
  didn't
• 8:22
  invite
• 8:23
  you.
• 8:24
  So.
• 8:25
  So
• 8:25
  here's
• 8:25
  this,
• 8:26
  you
• 8:26
  know,
• 8:26
  this
• 8:26
  high
• 8:26
  school
• 8:27
  goes
• 8:28
  through
• 8:28
  all
• 8:28
  this
• 8:28
  stuff,
• 8:29
  you
• 8:29
  know,
• 8:29
  basically
• 8:30
  the
• 8:30
  same
• 8:30
  kind
• 8:30
  of
• 8:30
  scenario,
• 8:31
  but
• 8:31
  so
• 8:32
  who,
• 8:32
  you
• 8:32
  know,
• 8:32
  might
• 8:32
  have
• 8:32
  been
• 8:33
  a
• 8:33
  rival
• 8:33
  band
• 8:33
  at
• 8:34
  rival
• 8:34
  high
• 8:34
  school
• 8:34
  or
• 8:35
  something
• 8:35
  that
• 8:36
  sent
• 8:36
  them
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  invitation,
• 8:37
  but,
• 8:38
  you
• 8:38
  know,
• 8:38
  that
• 8:38
  one
• 8:38
  was
• 8:39
  fake
• 8:39
  too.
• 8:39
  So
• 8:40
  I
• 8:40
  just
• 8:40
  think,
• 8:41
  you
• 8:41
  know,
• 8:42
  I'm
• 8:42
  sure
• 8:43
  somebody's
• 8:43
  feelings
• 8:43
  were
• 8:44
  hurt,
• 8:44
  but
• 8:44
  I
• 8:44
  still
• 8:44
  think
• 8:44
  it's
• 8:44
  pretty
• 8:45
  funny.
• 8:45
  Yeah,
• 8:46
  there's
• 8:46
  a
• 8:46
  lot
• 8:46
  of
• 8:47
  pranking
• 8:47
  going
• 8:47
  on
• 8:48
  in
• 8:48
  football
• 8:48
  back.
• 8:49
  Well,
• 8:50
  for
• 8:50
  decades,
• 8:50
  you
• 8:50
  know,
• 8:51
  all
• 8:51
  the
• 8:51
  way
• 8:51
  in
• 8:51
  the
• 8:52
  60s,
• 8:52
  we
• 8:53
  had
• 8:53
  some
• 8:53
  good
• 8:53
  pranks
• 8:54
  going
• 8:54
  during
• 8:54
  bowl
• 8:55
  season.
• 8:55
  So
• 8:56
  it's
• 8:56
  not
• 8:56
  just
• 8:56
  for
• 8:57
  April
• 8:57
  Fool's
• 8:57
  Day.
• 8:58
  Pranks
• 8:58
  will
• 8:58
  come
• 8:58
  out
• 8:59
  in
• 8:59
  bowl
• 8:59
  season,
• 8:59
  too.
• 9:00
  So
• 9:01
  that
• 9:02
  makes
• 9:02
  some
• 9:02
  interesting
• 9:02
  stories,
• 9:03

  years
• 9:06
  later
• 9:07
  to
• 9:08
  talk
• 9:08
  about.
• 9:09
  Here
