Not ours, of course (photo cribbed long ago from one of the big auction sites),
and not sure it's of any use for your project, but The Yale-Princeton Foot Ball Game
debuted in the McLoughlin Bros catalogue in 1895 and was a staple of their line for 25 years,
until the company was bought up by Milton Bradley:

Mark,
Congrats on your impressive early Yale football collection.
That really is eye candy!

Thanks guys. The artwork on the 'Yale-Princeton' board game is fantastic. Doesn't look like a game my 7 year old son would want to play though, unless they come out with an updated Ipad version.

Cheers

Mark

Just picked up this 1892 Yale football team photo. These Pach Bros team photos are my favorite.

Here is a Walter Badger original autograph. I own it. If interested, please let me know.

From the internet:

"To handle the newly defined chores of the quarterback position, Walter Camp selected his old roommate, Walter I. Badger, ’82. Badger and Camp worked on a variety of ways to set up scoring opportunities; primarily involving passes and hand-offs, enabling the halfbacks and fullbacks to try for goals from the field or the less desirable touchdowns, which only resulted in “tries-for-goal” from a location chosen by the kicker."
