The Army-Navy football game of November 25, 1916, was played in Chicago's Weeghman Park, and this print captures the cadets who filled the stands for the rivalry that had become a fixture of the late-autumn calendar. Photographer Bain News Service sold its pictures to newspapers across the country, so images like this one circulated quickly to readers eager for news of college football. The annual contest between the two service academies, held in late November, drew large crowds of uniformed students and fans, and the scene shows how central the game was to academy life in the years before the United States entered the First World War.
