Hamilton Park, New Haven, The Jackalope That Began A Tradition, The first game in the fabled Harvard-Yale football rivalry wasn't a football game at all, but a sort of compromise that combined soccer and rugby. You can see by the program cover that they used a soccer ball, and the Crimson talked the Elis into playing with 15 men to a side. The Crimson won the game comfortably, by a score that today would likely have been 28 to 0. But the Yalies were so taken by the game that with certain modifications in the rules (and of course the shape of the ball) the rivalry was set for entrenchment.

At Harvard, Why not start off our Harvard collection with a representative game from a perfect (11-0-0) season? It was only to be expected from a team that from 1897 to 1902 lost but 3 out of 69 games---and no, that was not a misprint.

At Harvard, It All Came Down To This, Nearly a century ago, this was the equivalent of what a 21st century BCS national championship game would be today, as Harvard and Yale were the LSU and Ohio State of their day. Unfortunately for the Crimson, they found themselves in the role that the Buckeyes have been cast in lately, but it was still a game to remember for the history books.

1912 Harvard, 16; Princeton, 6
At Harvard, Perfection Came Easily Back Then, Another great year for the power-packed Crimson, as they handed the Tigers their only defeat of the year on the way to a perfect 9-0-0 season themselves.

At Yale, The Mis-Dedication Of The Yale Bowl, If you can find a Crimson centenarian among your circle of friends, a Franklin note says that the sweetest moment of his life likely took place sometime around his seventh birthday, when he went to the Grand Opening of the Yale Bowl and witnessed his beloved Harvards choke the Bulldog by the collar to the tune of 36 to 0. It was the thrill that comes but once in a lifetime.

At Princeton, Since the fickle Gods of the Gridiron were about to torture the Eli in the Yale Bowl dedication game against H-d the following week, it seemed only right and just that the Eli should be allowed to spoil this formal dedication of Princeton's Palmer Stadium.

At Yale, Bloody But Unbowed, The Crimson kept up their momentum from last year's Rose Bowl triumph, and celebrated the election of Warren Harding by blanking the Temple Bar bullies to complete their second straight unbeaten season.

At Purdue, A Rare Pre-Bucket Glimpse At The Rivalry, The Old Oaken Bucket dates from 1925, but the Boilermakers and the Hoosiers had been meeting since 1892. This is the earliest example of a pre-Bucket program that we've ever seen, and it's a beaut.

At Harvard (Unofficial Program), We'll Spell That Name Right The Next Time, When the boys printing your game program can't even take the trouble to spell your opponent's name correctly, you know that the Gods are going to exact a terrible vengeance upon you. Especially when you're up against a team known as the Praying Colonels. This stunning loss to the tiny school from Danville, Kentucky was voted Upset of the Half Century by a sportswriters' poll taken in 1950.
