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!

I need to keep the Hinkey items 'close to the vest' for my book, however this piece won't be included. Posted is an 1894 handwritten letter from Frank Hinkey to John Greenway, inviting him on a group date along with Walter Camp and his wife.
