The title places this glass negative at a football game between the Marine Corps and Army teams on December 1, 1923, though the record notes that the title came from unverified data supplied by the National Photo Company. The company operated in Washington, D.C., and photographed local events and everyday life across the 1910s and 1920s, so its negatives capture service-branch athletics as spectators of the period would have seen them. Service rivalries of this kind drew crowds and newspaper attention. Look for the streaks and blemishes on the surface, which the catalog attributes to natural deterioration of the original coatings on the glass.
