Trio of official programs for Harvard/Yale football games during the 1920s.  Collection includes: 1) 1920: Official souvenier program for the November 20 1920 Harvard/Yale football game at Yale Bowl. Harvard won the game 9-0 in front of nearly 80 000 fans despite Yale's All-American guard Tim Callahan. The interior pages include many individual photos of the team members along with an unscored scorecard. Some mild dirt and wear is evident on the cover page and edges (both front and back) with a few very slight tears (particularly at the spine) and notches to the paper and some tiny specks of paper loss in a few unobtrusive spots on the edges. The interior pages do exhibit some minor edge wear as well. 2) 1925: November 21 1925 scorecard for the game between Yale and Harvard a scoreless tie on the final day of the season. A much less elaborate program than the football-shaped programs featured elsewhere in this auction this is a four-page scorecard printed on heavy stock featuring the team photos of each team the team rosters and statistics from both teams. VG condition with wear at the spine along with light soiling throughout. 3) 1925: Another beautiful Yale-Harvard program this example from the November 21 1925 game played at Harvard Stadium. The game was played toa scoreless tie. The program cover is in FAIR condition with significant wear apparently re-bound using brown ribbon. The leather of the cover is begining to separate from its backing the inside pages in outstanding condition well-protected by the cover.  Three programs total.
