Remembering the Men of Roses -- "Let ‘em know you’re out there."

This is the sixth installment of a seven-part series written by Kip Carlson about the 1941 Oregon State football team that played in the 1942 Rose Bowl. The '42 Rose Bowl is the only one in the history of the storied game that was played outside of Southern California due to fears of an attack on the U.S. West Coast following Pearl Harbor.

This story will appear in the football game-day program Saturday, Nov. 19 vs. Arizona

The morning of January 1, 1942, people across the United States got up and, peering through the haze of the night before or looking ahead to what the coming year might bring, picked up their morning newspaper.
