A single Syracuse player stands full length and faces the viewer, with the university behind him, so the poster reads more as a portrait than an action scene. The record dates it to 1903, when college football was drawing large crowds and its athletes were becoming local celebrities. The catalog also ties it to the United States Food Administration, a World War I agency that used posters to promote food conservation. The date and sponsor do not obviously match, so they are worth checking against the original.
