The only specimen we have ever seen for sale of the first annual Rose Bowl program. The first game, the 1902 Tournament East-West football game, was so lopsided that for the next 15 years, the Tournament of Roses officials ran chariot races, ostrich races, and other various events instead of football. But, on New Year's Day 1916, football returned to stay as Washington State University defeated Brown University 14-0 in this the first annual Tournament of Roses football game. Marvelous football shaped relic is in beautiful EX-MT condition. Fabulous pictures of the players and teams inside make this as beautiful as it is rare. The condition is as good as it gets. Graded EX-MT, this is investment quality and a collector’s dream.
