Mark, I would also have interest in your book, good luck.

Scott - would love to see more of your items, looks like you have tickets and programs which would be great see close ups.

Here are a couple pieces I acquired from Harold Letton's grandson. Letton was a sub on the 1894 Yale football team.

Thanks for the comment - I will start a new thread shortly with some material, so as not to hijack / detract from Mark's great Yale materials!

Great thread - fun to see all these items (and that's true even though I'm a Princeton fan!

Here are a few ticket stubs in my collection. Top two are Princeton-Yale, and the bottom one is from the 1894 "Hampden Park Bloodbath":

Very cool ticket stubs. Thanks for sharing bluespruce.

Here are a few items from the John Greenway estate. Greenway played right end for Yale from 1892-94. He went on to have a very distinguished military career as one of Teddy Roosevelt's 'Rough Riders' in the Spanish-American War.

I believe this c1910 pillow cover is a depiction of a 19th Century game between Harvard and Yale.

I'd love to know if a 1909 Yale National Championship team=signed piece is out there.

Thanks for starting this thread Mark!
