Harvard’s crew team scored the oars in 1852 after beating Yale in the first athletic competition between the two schools, reports the Los Angeles Times. But it wasn’t just the precursor to a greater rivalry; amazingly, the Lake Winnipesaukee, N.H. race was the first intercollegiate sporting competition in the United States. The oars came into the possession of the Marino family...
