The game took place on January 1, 1924 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, and marked the conclusion of the 1923 college football season. The game ended in a 14-14 tie, in front of a crowd of approximately 40,000 people. The game was the first post-season bowl game for both teams. The 1924 game was the tenth edition of the Rose Bowl game, which had first been played in 1902 but was replaced until 1916. The stadium had been constructed the year before, making this the second game played in the Rose Bowl. The game selected a team from both the east and west coasts, and asked the University of Washington to represent the west. Washington requested that the Navy Midshipmen be their opponents, and Navy accepted. Both teams had only suffered a single loss during the season, however, Washington had won eight games as opposed to five by Navy, as well as two ties amassed by the Midshipmen. The game kicked off in the afternoon of January 1, after heavy rainshowers the day before. The first quarter went scorless, but Navy scored on the first play of the second quarter. Washington answered the Midshipmen with a 23-yard touchdown run the next drive. Near the end of the second quarter, Navy scored on a two yard run, giving them a 14-7 halftime lead. The third quarter was a defensive stalemate, with neither team scoring. Navy fumbled the ball on their own ten yard line later in the quarter. Four plays later, the Huskies tied the game on a twelve yard touchdown pass. Navy threw an interception at midfield, and Washington drove down to the Navy 20-yard line, before attempting a game-winning field goal. The field goal missed, and the game ended shortly afterwards.
