On November 30, 1876, Yale defeated Princeton, 2-0, in
Hoboken, New Jersey in the first collegiate football game
played on Thanksgiving. Nearly 1,000 fans attend the
game, played in cold, rainy weather.

Times noted, "similar to those used in Rugby Union rules."
The game resembled rugby more than a present-day football
game.
