Picked this up in an auction back in the Spring. Off at PSA getting slabbed now. To my knowledge, it is the oldest known acknowledged 'Championship Game' ticket on record for College Football

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.
