wikipedia notes: The 1923 Rose Bowl, played on January 1, 1923, was an American Football bowl game. It was the 9th Rose Bowl Game. The USC Trojans defeated the Penn State Nittany Lions 14-3. Leo Calland, a USC guard, was named the Rose Bowl Player of the Game when the award was created in 1953 and selections were made retroactively. It was the very first Tournament of Roses football game held in the newly constructed Rose Bowl Stadium. The 1923 Rose Bowl was actually the fourth USC football game played in the stadium. The stadium was dedicated officially on January 1, although Cal had defeated USC in the very first game in the stadium on October 28, 1922. USC defeated Idaho and Washington State in the new stadium to close out their season. It was the very first bowl game appearance for both the University of Southern California and Pennsylvania State University football teams.
