...season of 1874 was destined to leave a deep impression upon American football, for during this year occurred the first Harvard-McGill game, the first contest of intercollegiate Rugby played in this country and the contest which led directly to the present intercollegiate game. The teams met on Jarvis Field, May 14, eleven men participating on each side. Following this year, often termed the most "momentous" of football history, Harvard met on the playing field with McGill and other Canadian universities for a number of years, previous to the first engagement with Yale at the beginning of the last quarter...
Several spectacular runs by Booth, the Yale captain and halfback, forced the Crimson to take the defensive deep in their own territory early in the game. But a counter-attack due largely to the superb broken field play of F.J. Gilligan '32, brought the wall to the Blue one-foot line at the opening of the second period.

This, said Mr. Pinchot, will be the fulfillment of a dream he has dreamed since college (Yale) days. Said charming Mrs. Pinchot: ". . . Yes, Gifford should have been a doctor." Mrs. Pinchot expects to go with him on the cruise of dreams...
