SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, January 2, 1942

* Rose Bowl football game
* Played at Duke University
* Oregon State Beavers

* World War II attack scare

The front page of the sport's section has a two column headline: "Oregon State Orphans Smother Mighty Duke In Rose Bowl Upset" and related photo. The game was played in Durham, North Carolina due to the scare of a Japanese aerial attack at the Rowl Bowl in Pasadena. Much more on other top bowl games.
Much on World War II events of the day. Complete with all 22 pages, light toning and a few tape mends at the margins, small library label on the ftpg., small binding holes along the spine, generally good.
