The Rose Bowl matched unbeaten SMU (12-0-0) against Pacific champion Stanford (7-1-0) before a crowd of 86,000. Stanford had been a two time loser at Pasadena, falling to both Alabama and Columbia. Determined not to have a three-peat, the Stanford Indians scored an early touchdown and held off the Mustangs to win 7-0.
In New Orleans, the second annual Sugar Bowl pitted Texas Christian (TCU) (11-1-0) against SEC champion Louisiana State (LSU) (9-1-0) before a crowd of 38,000. TCU's Sammy Baugh, later to go on to NFL fame, was forced out of the end zone on a pass attempt, and the safety gave LSU a 2-0 lead. Two minutes later, Baugh drove the Frogs to the 17 yard line, setting up Taldon Malton's field goal. The final score was TCU 3, LSU 2
In Miami, the second annual Orange Bowl matched Mississippi (9-2-0) against the unheralded Cardinals of Catholic University (8-1-0). A crowd of 10,000 watched Catholic take an early lead and pull off a 20-19 upset. The Sun Bowl matched two colleges for the first time, as New Mexico State and Hardin-Simmons battled to a 14-14 tie.

Famous quotes containing the words bowl and/or games:
“Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or
the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the
cistern.
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit
shall return unto God who gave it.
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, all is vanity.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. XII, 6–7)
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
