Seen among spectators at a football game, Ethel Roosevelt was one of President Theodore Roosevelt's daughters, and her presence places this picture within the family's public life during his presidency. The image comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency whose founder, George Grantham Bain, gave the collection its name. Its glass negatives were often captioned quickly, so the title rests on the agency's own unverified notes. Football drew large crowds to college stadiums in the early twentieth century, and presidential children were frequent subjects for press photographers, which makes the scene a useful glimpse of how family life was recorded then.
