* Rose Bowl: Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Washington Huskies
* 1st ever Alabama bowl game

This 26 page newspaper has a banner headline on page 16:

* Great Rally Gives Alabama Football Team 20-to-19 Victory Over Washington

with subheads and lineup. Lots of text.

Other news of the day throughout. Usual browning with some margin wear, mostly along the spine but no text loss, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.

wikipedia notes: The 1926 Rose Bowl Game was held on January 1, 1926 in Pasadena, California. The game is commonly referred to as "the game that changed the south." The game featured the Alabama Crimson Tide, making their first bowl appearance, and the Washington Huskies.
