The record for this glass negative names a football game between Columbia and Amherst, though it gives no date, and the title comes from notes the Bain News Service wrote without verification. George Grantham Bain ran a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers, and its negatives document sports, politics and city life from about 1900 into the 1920s. Read in that light, the image offers a useful glimpse of how the press covered college football in its early decades.
