Official scorecard dating to May 30, 1892 for a game between Princeton and Harvard at Holmes Field in Cambridge, MA.  Unmarked, the scorecard contains the printed lineups along with inset photos of both teams.  With a clean front cover and inside page, the scorecard folds to 5 3/8" x 9 1/4" and with some minor creasing appears in GOOD condition until examining the reverse, which has significant damage and glue staining from scrapbook mounting.  This is unfortunate, as the reverse contains the names of players associated with the Harvard club as well as the 1892 game log of each team.  Still, an interesting 19th Century scorecard documenting an important early rivalry.
