Default New pickups

Picked up these two neat (at least I think so) pieces of Yale emphemera with a Walter Camp Connection. They are programs for 1879 and 1880 intramural athletic contests which include many track races, football kicking contests, hammer throwing, bicycle racing, baseball throwing, tug of war, etc. Walter Camp is listed as one of the competitors in both programs, with the running high jump in 1879, and the Hurdle Race in 1880. He is not listed as a competitor in the Football kick though. These have some paper residue on them (assuming from scrapbook removal, but are in otherwise great shape, and are made of a thicker stock paper.
