Classic Rose Bowl Turns To Bike Races : This is the Classic Rose Bowl in Pasadana, Calif., where the annual Rose Tournament football contests are decided. Its 86,000 seats will be filled by a far different crowd in August, however, when the cycling races of the Xth Olympiad are staged within the big saucer. The board track, constructed at a cost of $10,000 can be seen surrounding the gridiron. Photo taken from the Gilmore Lion airplane piloted by Colonel Roscoe Turner. July 15, 1932.
