...history of the Harvard-Yale football series is one of the rise and fall of two great waves of victory, interrupted with only an occasional break. For 32 years, from 1876 to 1908, Yale rode the triumphant crest, driving all, Harvard teams before her at will. Only three victories were snatched by Crimson elevens during these years...

The Freshman-Sophomore struggles, developing from the first "Battle of the Delta", continued through the 1804's and the next decade of the '50's, growing tougher as the years progressed, until the first Monday of the fall term became literally a "Bloody Monday," although the day may not have been so named until much later.

This movie is shaken up from one of those left-on-the-doorstep scenarios that bring in everything but the fall of Babylon to prove that New York City is a great big mouse trap for boys and girls away from home.
