This four-page college football program from a 21-0 rout of Wisconsin over Ohio State in 1915 is a rare offering and could be the only one known in existence. The two schools need little introduction. Wisconsin has participated in the Big Ten since its inception in 1896, while Ohio State joined in 1912 and is one of the most storied college football programs in history. The program is folded in quarters with some creasing. It comes with a real photo postcard of its owner, who was a member of the Zionism Society at the University of Wisconsin, watching the game in the stands, and includes a cardboard rally pass from the "other side" reading "Beat Wisconsin." This is a precious artifact from the nascent stages of college football in America.
