The record names the Harvard football team, a squad from the university in Cambridge, just across the Charles River from Boston. The glass negative is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, the large body of pictures that the Bain News Service, a New York agency, distributed to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and its title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact game or season is uncertain. Still, the image belongs to a period when Harvard football drew large crowds and when the sport was being reshaped by new rules meant to reduce its injuries.
