Ticket for that infamous contest in 1894 between long-time rivals, Harvard and Yale. The “Hampden Park Blood Bath” is notorious in football history because of the controversy it created as far as excessive violence in football. 4 players from each team suffered critical injuries, one player losing an eye, another having to get his leg amputated, and yet another with a broken back. Ticket from that brutal game remains EX except for water damage and slightly worn corners.
