    www.christmasbowl.org A Brand New Bowl Game! The Christmas Bowl™ is a newly proposed postpost--seasonseason college football bowl game, located in Los Angeles, CA. The Christmas Bowl™ location lends itself to some of the largest college football conference followings, as well as one of the nations largest tourist destinations. The Christmas Bowl™ anticipates NCAA approval by April of 2010, and will play the inaugural game the week of Christmas 2010 in one of the most histohistoricalrical stadiums in the world, The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. 3 A New Game Based on Tradition! Bringing a new bowl game to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum has been a vision of Christmas Bowl™ CEO, Derek Dearwater, for almost 10 years. The Christmas Bowl™ name was adopted in recognition of the first postseason bowl game ever played in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum ---- the 1924 Los Angeles Christmas Festival. While the defunct bowl game was only played in 1924, it’s meaningful to the PACPAC--10,10, as it showcased USC defeating a competitive University of Missouri team 2020--7,7, finishing the season with a record of 99--2.2. The 1924 Trojan’s were coached by Elmer Henderson,Henderson, the winningest coach in USC’s history, with a record of 45 --7 (.865). Also present on the field the day of the LA Christmas Festival, was Brice Taylor, USC’s first AllAll--American.American.
