Junior Rose Bowl Football 1948 Pasadena and 27 similar items

1948 Junior Rose Bowl football ticket. Compton Tartars vs. Duluth Bluejays. Hugh McElhenny, Tay Brown. This was the third annual game. Very hard ticket to find. 1948, the football team would be selected to represent the NJCAA at the 1948 Junior Rose Bowl. DJC - lead by head coach and UofM legend Frank Larson, would take on Compton College, lead by former USC tackle and future CHOFer, Tay Brown. Brown had an arsenal of talent - including future NFL HOFer Hugh McElhenny. Many of their players would go on to become successful in the NCAA and NFL. Compton was a significantly larger school as well, at least 5x the size. Not much info about the game is readily available (though I do believe it to be out there somewhere). Compton would win easily, 48-14. 50,000 spectators were in the attendance.
