Silent footage of the 1916 Rose Bowl game played between Washington State College and Brown University.

Brown's star halfback, Fritz Pollard, was held to 40 yards by WSC's tough defense and muddy field conditions. Also includes footage of the parade and players.

I am on the road now and don't have access to my reference materials. If memory serves, either the Brown athletic department or library has a good bit of footage that focuses on their team.

Do you have any footage of the 1931 WSU vs Alabama game? My wifes grandfather played in that game.

[TomBenjey]

I don't but but the WSU archives may. I'd contact Trevor Bond. If he doesn't know if they have them he will know who to ask.

SpinSeries put Dick Hanley and Lone Star Dietz up for induction into the Single-Wing Hall of Fame. Dietz led his Washington State team to victory in the 1916 Rose Bowl. Hanley missed quarterbacking Dietz's 1919 Mare Island Rose Bowl team due to being in the hospital with pneumonia. Hanley coached Haskell Institute in the early 1920s. Dietz coached them from 1929 through 1931. Haskell was a terror running the single-wing under those coaches.
