Wood engraving from Harper’s Weekly magazine depicts on
field action during a football match between Yale and
Princeton on Thanksgiving Day, November 1876.

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. "The friends of both colleges mustered in good
force," the New York Times reports. "Several carriages containing
ladies were on the ground, and a goodly number of Alumni were
there to cheer the contestants."

The football was oval and made of leather, the Times noted,
"similar to those used in Rugby Union rules." The game
resembled rugby more than a present-day football game.

On November 29, 2001, English musician and songwriter George Harrison died at the age of 58. Harrison achieved global fame as
a member of the Beatles and went on to a successful solo career
that included frequent collaborations with many of the foremost musicians of his generation.

Harrison was born in Liverpool in 1943 and joined the group, then
known as the Quarrymen, when he was barely 15. Harrison became
the group’s lead guitarist and frequently sang, but he developed a reputation as the “quiet Beatle” and was oftentimes overshadowed
by the duo of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Nonetheless, his influence on the group, and rock music in general, was profound.
