The title points to a college football game between Rutgers and a team abbreviated "W-J," played on Saturday, November 28, 1914, during the Thanksgiving-week football season. The abbreviation is not expanded in the record, and the title itself is unverified, so the opposing school is best treated as an open question. The picture is a glass negative from the Bain News Service, the New York photo agency whose staff supplied newspapers with fast news pictures in the early 1900s. Its glass plates are a useful record of how sports were photographed before handheld cameras became common.
