Lou Gehrig's prowess on the baseball diamond at Columbia is well documented, but many would be surprised to learn that he enrolled at the school on a football scholarship. Evidence of his days on the Columbia gridiron can be found here, in this scarce 1922 Columbia University football program issued for a game against N.Y.U. on October 21st. Gehrig is pictured in the interior team photo and listed by name in the lineup below. The fifty-two page program (7.5x10"), is not scored and displays heavy wear, including creasing, edge tears to the covers and pages, and separation of eight pages from the spine.
