The club from Cambridge then went on to become one of the dominant football programs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, winning seven national championships between 1890 and 1919, culminating with its Rose Bowl victory over Oregon in January 1920. Since 1956, the team has been a

Included are the exploits of Charlie Brickley in the 1910s and Barry Wood in the 1930s; the school's first Ivy League title in 1961 and the 29-29 "victory" over Yale in the most famous of all one hundred eighteen riveting match-ups. The captivating images included in Harvard Football detail these accounts up to the Crimson's 2001 run to perfection, a 9-0-0 record, marking the first undefeated, untied season in eighty-eight years.

You can not find a finer book which exemplifies what American football is all about. The grit, drive, and determination of the Harvard Crimson, who play the game, not for money, or recognition, but for the love of the game. I love this book and recommend it to all sports fans and football fans alike. FIVE STARS! Great information amidst all of the awesome historical and modern football photos. And how can you not love a team that had actor Tommy Lee Jones as an All American offensive guard! Great photo of Tommy Lee Jones in his Harvard Crimson uniform. Buy this book today!Dave in N.E.

Reading about Harvard Football tells the reader that Ivy League Football is a pure version of American Football. The book is about college football the way it is ment to be played. I feel it also tells the reader to follow college football teams in their area even though they way not be rated in the so "called" top 25!
