The Harvard varsity football team of 1912 is the subject here, a reminder of how central the college game was to Cambridge and Boston at the time. Harvard had opened its concrete Harvard Stadium in Allston in 1903, one of the first large stadiums of its kind in the country, and Percy Haughton was coaching the team that season. The photograph comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency whose photographers sold news pictures to newspapers. The title is unverified, so the exact players and occasion are worth checking against the Library of Congress record.
