The 1919 Rose Bowl, known at the time as the Tournament East-West Football Game, was a bowl game played on January 1, 1919, at Tournament Park in Pasadena, California. It was the 5th Rose Bowl Game. With the war just over and college rosters depleted, this post-season East-West game was constructed as a military service team championship, pitting the Mare Island Marines of California and the Great Lakes Navy Bluejackets from Illinois.[1]
