Rather than a documented contest, this glass negative captures a rivalry: its title names athletes from Harvard and Yale, two universities whose meetings have been a fixture of American college sport since their first football game in 1875. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency whose photographers supplied newspapers with news pictures in the early twentieth century, produced many images like this one for quick publication. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified information written on the negative or caption card, so the specific event and year remain uncertain. Viewers should read the picture as a general glimpse of the rivalry rather than a confirmed game.
