Rose Bowl Hall of Fame
1925 and 1927 Rose Bowl Games
1995 Inductee
In two Rose Bowl Game appearances, Ted Shipkey never experienced the thrill of victory, but he did make a big impact. A two-way starter for Pop Warner’s Stanford teams that played in the 1925 and 1927 Rose Bowl Games, Shipkey was a two-time All-America end.
In Shipkey’s first Rose Bowl Game appearance, Stanford won the statistical battle, but turnovers gave Knute Rockne’s Fighting Irish a 27–10 victory in 1925. Shipkey caught a 7-yard pass in the third quarter for Stanford’s lone touchdown that day. Shipkey’s second trip to “The Granddaddy of Them All” was a 7–7 tie against a tough Alabama team in 1927.
Following his playing days, Shipkey coached at Arizona State, New Mexico and Montana. He died in 1978.
