More Football History

Interested in Dartmouth football history and already have a copy of Jack DeGange's Green Fields of Autumn?

You can buy a copy of Louis Bénézet's book Three Years of Football at Dartmouth for $325. Or, if you are just curious about what's in it and I'm reading this ad right, you can buy a PDF copy of the book that covers the 1901, '02 and '03 seasons, burned to a CD, for $12.95 with free shipping here. Interesting.

How about a 9.5-inch pewter stein that apparently was presented as a football trophy in the first season covered in the book? It's inscribed, "First Prize Place Kicking Contest Presented By The Faculty Of Dartmouth College May 11, 1901." The current eBay bid is $11.49 and the auction ends tomorrow.

Sticking with the theme, here's a nifty scorecard from the 1922 Dartmouth-Harvard game at Soldiers Field. The auction is ending tonight and the current bid is just $9.99. Frame that puppy up and you've got something.

Or a 1975 Dartmouth-Princeton program featuring a barefoot Princeton punter on the cover?
