...Harvard starts out right by whooping Yale’s ass with 4 goals and 4 touchdowns to Yale’s zip in this half-rugby, half-soccer game, one of the first intercollegiate football matches. 1890: Harvard captures the first of its seven national championships, 12-6. 1894: Rugby brutality continues as seven players were reported to be carried out in “dying conditions,” according to newspapers and had to be suspended for two years.
