The record names this glass negative as a Harvard varsity subject, but the title comes from unverified caption data, so the team and sport are not confirmed. It is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York news photo service founded in 1899 that sold pictures to newspapers across the country for decades. Without a recorded date, the image is best read as a glimpse of collegiate athletics in Cambridge during the early twentieth century, when varsity squads drew wide public interest.
