Members of the Boston College football squad are shown at the start of their first practice of the season on the school's own field, a moment of early-season preparation captured in this Underwood and Underwood photograph. The firm, a major American stereograph and press photography company, produced large numbers of images for newspapers and public audiences in the first decades of the twentieth century. The record dates the picture only to the years between 1900 and 1940, but the subject places it in the era when college football was growing rapidly in popularity and the sport was still developing its equipment and training methods.
