College football aficionados will love this collection: 1899 Harvard -Yale (EX) - Harvard was a juggernaut this season, outscoring its opponents 210-10 in rattling off 10 straight wins. This game would end their perfect season as both clubs ended up in a scoreless tie. The Crimson were still credited with co-national championship status. 1901 Princeton-Yale (foxing to paper edges and back-cover tear VG-EX) - Yale defeated the Tigers, 12-0 to run ts record to 11-0-1 before falling for the only time the following week at Harvard. Still, the Bulldogs earned a share of the national championship that year. 1902 Harvard-Yale (VG-EX with foxing to edges) - The Crimson blanked their archrivals 23-0 to complete an 11-0-1 season that earned them a share of the national title. 1906 Harvard-Yale (VG-EX with a tear to the front cover) - The Bulldogs avenged the previous fall's loss with a 6-0 home victory to complete a 9-0-1 season and earn a share of the national crown. And lastly, 1920 Harvard-Yale (VG-EX with creases to the front cover) - Harvard capped an 8-0-1 season with a 9-0 victory at Yale Bowl which cemented a national championship.
