1918 - Mare Island USMC 19 Camp Lewis Army 7. Mare Island Marines (5-0) defeat Camp Lewis Army (5-1-1) by a 19-7 score as service teams supply the competition for war-time continuance of the Tournament of Roses Game. Returning to the Pasadena New Year's scene are Hugo Bezdek as coach of the Marines and Hollis Huntington who gains 111 yards in 20 fullback smashes. Jap Brown at quarterback is as hot as the 86-degree temperature as he engineers an attack that offsets the speed of Camp Lewis' Doug McKay and E.L. Romney.
1919 - Great Lakes Navy 17 Mare Island USMC 0, The Great Lakes Navy (6-2) defeats the Mare Island Marines (10-0) in a 17-0 display of the sting of a Wasp. The Wasp is Paddy Driscoll, who thrills 27,000 spectators by completing four of eight passes including a 45-yard touchdown to George Halas, rushing for 34 yards, drop-kicking a 30-yard field goal, averaging 43.5 yards with six punts and returning nine punts for 115 yards. Halas, destined to fame as a National Football League Pioneer coach and owner, just misses scoring his third touchdown when nailed on the three after returning an intercepted pass 77 yards. He says, "Nobody had a day like Driscoll."
