The caption identifies a Harvard football player as Capt. Wendell and dates the picture to September 26, 1912, but the record notes that this title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service. Bain's agency sold news pictures to newspapers, and its glass negatives from these years show how college football was becoming a major public spectacle. Harvard, across the Charles River from Boston in Cambridge, drew large crowds to its games in that era. Treat the name and date as the agency's own labeling rather than settled fact.
