The 1926 Rose Bowl Game was held on January 1, 1926 in Pasadena, California. The game is commonly referred to as "the game that changed the south."[1] The game featured the Alabama Crimson Tide, making their first bowl appearance, and the Washington Huskies.
Alabama were victorious 20–19, as they scored all twenty points in the third quarter. With the victory, the Crimson Tide were awarded with their first National Championship.
The game made its radio broadcast debut, with Charles Paddock, a sports writer and former Olympian track star, at the microphone.[2] Coach Wade was later inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 1990.[3]
