Curatorial RemarksThis is the third and final part of a series of articles on rugby/football in the United States. The illustrations for the two previous parts (November 1909 and January 1910) were drawn by Frank X. Leyendecker. Unpublished letters indicate that in preparation for these illustrations, Wyeth attended the University of Pennsylvania - Carlisle Indians game of October 30, 1909. That specific game is not mentioned in Camp's account.
