From the November 11, 1911, game in Cambridge, Mass, this extremely rare ticket stub comes from the Carlisle Indian School-Harvard University game, during which Jim Thorpe almost single-handedly upset the heavily-favored Crimson in what is considered his greatest game. Besides running and defending, Thorpe kicked four field goals, two over 40 yards, as his team pulled off the massive upset, 18-15. The stub has sustained some back damage and is trimmed on the top and bottom edges.
