Rose Bowl Hall of Fame
1921 and 1922 Rose Bowl Games
1993 Inductee
One of the first truly great athletes in the University of California’s history, Muller excelled at both football and track and field. On the gridiron, Muller led Cal to the 1921 and 1922 Rose Bowl Games. The Golden Bears, behind Muller’s 52-yard touchdown pass and a touchdown reception, defeated Ohio State 28–0 for a victory in their initial Rose Bowl Game appearance. The effort also earned Muller the Player of the Game award.
Muller, who won the silver medal at the 1920 Olympic Games in the high jump, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951. He died in 1962.
