The record names a Harvard-Princeton game, and the Bain News Service title is unverified, so the exact match and date remain uncertain. The two universities met on the football field for decades, beginning in the 1870s, and their contests drew large crowds and heavy press coverage. Bain News Service, a New York agency, supplied news photographs to newspapers across the country in the early 1900s, and its glass negatives capture the period's sporting crowds, uniforms, and stadium life. Viewers should treat the subject as the rivalry itself rather than a specific play or season.
