Love the ticket Drew! It's interesting in that it wasn't really a "Championship" in the way we think about, rather just a "game" between Harvard and Yale played in the middle of the season. In this context "Championship" is synonymous with "Game". Each team would play 6 or 7 games that year, and after this game Yale would go on to play two more games against Columbia and Princeton.
