From one of football's founding institutions, this pair of Yale football programs chronicles two of the sport's very first exhibitions. The set is comprised of 1875 Yale vs. Rutgers, and 1877 Yale vs. Tufts. It was only a handful of years earlier that Rutgers and Princeton met in what is considered to be the first ever football game. The Rutgers program has handwritten goals and a creased binding. There is minor surface wear on the Tufts program, but the pair are overall VG-EX.
