1902 - Michigan 49 Stanford 0
Michigan (10-0) defeats Stanford (3-1-2) at wooden Tournament Park, 49-0. Fielding (Hurry Up) Yost's point-a-minute Wolverines outscore 11 foes 550-0 for the season. Michigan fullback Neil Snow scores five touchdowns in this first Tournament of Roses Game and halfback Willie Heston carries 18 times for 170 yards. Guard W.K. Roosevelt, second cousin of Theodore Roosevelt, plays for Stanford despite a bone fracture in his leg.
1903
In 1903, polo replaced football as the sports attraction, but lured a crowd of only 2,000 people. From 1904 through 1915, the Tournament held chariot races. The 1915 race drew 25,000 spectators, but dwindling interest and economic factors persuaded the Tournament to return to football as the main
attraction in 1916.
