Jacob Leibenluft wrote a great story about Yale's contributions to modern football a couple years ago that you should link to.

Great piece by a great professor. This should be run by the YDN every year before the Game.

Thanks for this fine piece, equally pertinent in the wake of a loss or a win in The Game. Despite being raised on major-conference football in the South (Atlantic Coast Conference, Southeastern Conference), it was the imaginative journey to football Saturdays at the Yale Bowl in New Haven which made Yale my No. 1 choice of college admissions back in the 1960s.

Keep up the great sports journalism in The Yale Daily News!

PS--Now in men's basketball, it promises to be a great Yale-Harvard series with our illustrious Duke alum Tommy Amaker, a true gentleman and great basketball guy, overseeing your occasionally lovable rivals' program at Harvard.
