华盛顿，宾夕法尼亚州(12月. (2021年1月30日. 1, 2022 玫瑰碗 Game marks the 100th anniversary of the historic 1922 Game, in which Dr. 查尔斯·Fremont West became the first Black quarterback to play not only in the 玫瑰碗 Game, 但是在一场重要的碗比赛中.
“The 玫瑰碗 Game is not only part of W&J’s storied athletic tradition, it represents determination and the strong commitment to leadership for which W&J是已知的. John C. 克纳普,华盛顿 & 杰斐逊学院校长. 《det365app》和《det365app》. West’s unprecedented appearance in this historic event, are still an inspiration to our community.”
Coached by Earle “Greasy” Neale, an athlete in his own right— he was an outfielder for the Cincinnati Redlegs when they played in the 1919 World Series—and led on the field by West, W&J fought the University of California Golden Bears to a historic tie. It remains the only scoreless tie in 玫瑰碗 Game history.
Following his football career with W&J College, West – a multi-sport, athletics hall-of-famer – was named to the 1924 U.S. Olympic track and field team, though injury prevented his participation. He signed with the Akron Pros professional football team in 1924, but opted to attend Howard University Medical School in 华盛顿, D.C. instead.
Dr. West practiced medicine in Alexandria, Virginia for 50 years and was recognized and awarded for his community service by the Alexandria Urban League, the Howard University Medical Alumni Association, 和其他人. W&J honored him with a Distinguished Alumni Service Award in 1979. In September 2021, The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) and W&J together dedicated a Pennsylvania State Marker honoring West on W&我的校园.
West, as well as Team Captain Russ Stein, went on to be inducted into the 玫瑰碗 Hall of Fame, Stein in 1991 and West in 2018.
W&J had the best college football team on the east coast, coming off an undefeated 1921 season, when the Tournament of Roses Association unanimously voted to invite the school to play in the 1922 玫瑰碗. The Bowl game posed a significant challenge: W&我的对手, the University of California Golden Bears, was arguably the best college football team on the west coast and was still riding the high after topping The Ohio State University in the 1921 玫瑰碗 Game.
使W&J’s appearance in the 1922 玫瑰碗 Game all the more improbable is that with just 450 students at the time, the College is the smallest school to ever play in a 玫瑰碗 Game. W&J played with a team of only 11 men who stayed on the field the entire game, playing both offense and defense.
As the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Utah Utes take the field at the 玫瑰碗 Game presented by Capital One Venture X this January 2022, W&J will celebrate its own connection to the event with a series of alumni events in Pasadena, Calif.
