With the advent of the autumn, hundreds of football teams representing colleges throughout the United States, engage in competitions which last until early December. Football is a leading national sport, and games are attended by millions of spectators. The season is climaxed by a number of post-season games played on New Year's Day (January 1), most famous of which is the Rose Bowl classic at Pasadena, California, on the west coast of the United States. Typical of Saturday afternoon college football games played on gridirons throughout the country is the annual contest between the teams representing Ohio State University, of Columbus, Ohio, and Indiana University, of Bloomington, Indiana, leading educational institutions in midwestern United States. More than 70,000 spectators crowded into the Ohio State University football stadium, at Columbus, on October 1, 1949, to witness this year's (1949) game, won by Ohio State by a score of 46 to 7. The photograph shows an aerial view of the Ohio State University football stadium, at Columbus, during the game.
