Perhaps the most storied rivalry in college football history: ancient Ivy League rivals Harvard and Yale began their gridiron games back in 1875, and this high-grade 11x7.5" hardcover program from the 18th all-time meeting was published under the Auspices of the Yale and Harvard University Foot-ball Associations by Wolffe, W. B.; Alfred Mudge & Son and MacDonald & Sons. There is a name written in ink inside the 130-page book. The game - which was played in Cambridge on November 13, 1897 - resulted in a 0-0 tie. To date, Yale leads the series 65-59-8, although Harvard has won the last nine games.
