Ann Arbor in 1914 was a college town of roughly 15,000 people, and the University of Michigan shaped nearly everything about its streets, shops, and calendar. The Michigan Central Railroad ran through the city, bringing students, alumni, and visiting teams from across the Midwest and the East. Football under coach Fielding Yost had made the Wolverines a national name, and home games drew crowds from town and campus onto Ferry Field, the university's athletic grounds on the city's edge. Cornell's visit to play Michigan that fall gave residents a chance to see a team from a rival eastern university, and the photograph records a crowd that townspeople would have recognized as their own.
