In 1911 Massachusetts ran on textile mills, shoe factories, and railroad towns, and the Harvard-Yale crowds came largely from the families whose money and labor sat behind that economy. Fall River and Lowell still operated large cotton mills, and Lawrence was a major center of woolen manufacturing. Eugene Foss, a Democrat, had taken the governor's chair in January after winning the 1910 election, and that year the Legislature passed one of the earliest workers' compensation laws in the country, which promised payments to employees injured on the job. Many Bostonians who read about the game in their newspapers would have seen those labor stories on the same pages.
