Background

[edit]

The prospects of the 1879 Yale team were assessed ahead of the season by a football fan from theHarvard class of 1880,Theodore Roosevelt:

"Yale has lostThompson, who has twice turned the scale against us; but otherwise her team will probably be much the same as last year's, and there is plenty of good material with which to fill the vacancies. CaptainCamp has already begun to put his men into regular training, running them in the gymnasium. Thirty men have been pledged to play against the team every afternoon...so that there will be no danger of her men suffering from lack of practice. At present it hardly seems as if the team would be as good as last year's, but their playing is improving every day, and nothing but very hard work will enable our men to win the victory. * * * Last year, we had good individual players, but they did not work together nearly as well as thePrinceton team, and they were not in as good condition as the Yale men."[9]
