Harvard's football squad is the subject of this glass negative, which the caption card describes simply as football men exercising. The George Grantham Bain News Service, a New York wire agency, sent pictures like this to newspapers eager for sports and campus stories. The title comes from the agency's own notes and has not been verified, so the exact date and the drill shown remain unknown. Small glass negatives like this one were a standard tool for press photographers of the period, and they preserve the crisp detail that made such pictures useful to editors.
