Here's a stat. Cal's last Rose Bowl victory is closer to the start of the Civil War (77 years) than it is to today (80 years).

I looked at the photos and thought, "How could people watching the game on B&W TVs keep track?" before realizing that people didn't have TVs at that time. First televised Rose Bowl was apparently in 1952.
The newsreels back in early 1938 were likely more focused on Germany's possible invasion of Austria.
