Click on the World Wide Web site for Northwest Public Radio, choose the Rose Bowl link and travel back in time to the very first Rose Bowl game in 1916, as well as the parade in Pasadena.
Floats pulled by horses and football players competing in leather helmets are in action.
Also on the web site are video clips of WSU's 1931 Rose Bowl game, and of all 11 games from WSU's 1997 season, starting with the victory over UCLA and ending with the victory over the University of Washington. That latter win sent the Cougars to the Rose Bowl for the first time in 67 years. According to Dave Cillay, the outreach manager for WSU's Educational Telecommunication and Technology division, the historic films were digitized and made available through a video streaming server. Northwest Public Radio is a regional system of 10 public radio stations based at Washington State University.
