You mentioned Duke, which triggered a memory: Duke hosted the only Rose Bowl played outside Pasadena during WWII. I met a man who played in that game for Duke, later was a Japanese prisoner.

I hope he made it home ok. I wouldn't wish that suffering on anyone. My grandpap was in the Navy during WW2 (sub hunter in the Pacific out of Pearl Harbor) and he said that the torture the Japanese put on capture POW was ruthless

When I met him, he was a gray-haired, slender man. You'd never know he was once a lineman for Duke football. He lost that weight in a Japanese prison.
