Pasadena, California on New Year’s Day, Big 10 vs. Pac 8 (now Pac 12), the “Granddaddy of Them All,” The Rose Bowl!  This is the game that put college football on the map with special matchups, unprecedented pageantry, gorgeous weather, and a capacity crowd of nearly 100,000 each year.  The 1952 edition was no different, as the fourth-ranked Illinois Fighting Illini topped the seventh-ranked Stanford Indians (now Cardinal) 40 - 7 by scoring five second-half touchdowns.  Want a vintage big game program?  It’s here.
