Relive Wisconsin football's first ever bowl game, the 1953 Rose Bowl
The Badgers' first bowl appearance in program history came in the 1953 Rose Bowl, which featured Heisman back Alan Ameche. Read all our coverage from the momentous event.
PASADENA, Calif. — Wisconsin's football team became the first Western Conference representative to lose in the Rose Bowl since the modern pact was signed when the Badgers dropped a torrid battle to Southern California, 7-0, here New Year's Day afternoon before a crowd of 101,500.
Thousands of Madison residents who crowded around television sets here Thursday were pleased with the clarity of the TV picture, but were anything but happy with the score of the Rose Bowl game.
An aroused Madison television audience registered its disappointment Thursday when the telecast of the Parade of Roses in Pasadena, Calif., failed to picture either the Wisconsin float or the University of Wisconsin marching band.
