Rose Bowl links shift with Big Nine in post season play
A broad look at the 1947 college football season notes many upsets and large crowds. The Rose Bowl in Pasadena will pit the West Coast nominee against the Big Nine for three years, with shifts in eligibility rules affecting future rosters. Illinois and UCLA earned Pasadena bids, while Army and Illinois faced drafting and selection puzzles. Other bowls attract tens of thousands, from Shrine in San Francisco to the Orange, Cotton, Sun, Oil, and Blue and Grey games, each drawing large crowds.
