The two previous Tournament games had featured teams from the United States armed forces. Game summary Following a field goal by future Oregon Sports Hall of Famer Bill Steers, Harvard scored on a 13-yard run by Fred Church on a drive that was keyed by two catches by future College Football Hall of Famer Eddie Casey. Arnold Horween added the extra point, which would prove critical as Oregon could only manage one more score, a field goal from 128 lb kg on Skeet Manerud. Four other Oregon kicks were blocked or missed, including a fourth-quarter Manerud attempt that just missed.http://www.sports-venue.info/NCAAF/Bowls/T_Rose_Bowl_Timeline.html Rose Bowl Timeline May 21, 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080522115924/http://www.sports-venue.info/NCAAF/Bowls/T_Rose_Bowl_Timeline.html May 22, 2008 dead left 400 2/1 Harvard team rosebowl 1920.jpg Harvard team Oregon team rosebowl 1920.jpg Oregon team Scoring Harvard 0 7 0 0 Oregon 0 6 0 0 Qtr.

The score was 7 to 6. Church's dash was for only two yards, measured straight down the field, but before he had stretched his long limbs to a point directly behind the goal posts he had covered something like 70 yards.'
