1934 Rose Bowl - Wikipedia
The Ivies rarely played in bowl games. Harvard only played in one (1919 Rose Bowl, beating Oregon 7-6). No Ivy has played in more than one bowl game, and only in the Rose Bowl. Washington State defeated Brown in the second-ever Rose Bowl, 14-0. Oregon defeated Penn, 14-0 in the third-ever Rose Bowl. Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton and Cornell have never been in a bowl game.
Mick... Remember that before the mid Sixties there were few bowl games. Really just the four majors and the Gator Bowl although there were minor games in the Southwest. Princeton even had a Voldemort winner, Dick Kazmeier in 1951.
I do remember that...Bill McColl of Stanford finished fourth in Voldemort voting that year. Babe Parilli was 3rd. Hugh McIlhenny was 8th and Ollie Matson was 9th. Parilli and Matson were the 3rd and 4th picks in the 1952 draft, McIlhenny was 9th, Frank Gifford was 10th, Gino Marchetti was 14th. Kazmeier wasn't drafted until the 15th round, but everyone knew (I think) that Kaz was headed to Harvard Business School. McColl was drafted in the 3rd round.
Also selected were Stanford players Bob Meyers, Dick Horn, Gary Kerkorian, and Harry Hugasian, all taken between the 16th and 21st round.
