"Training School Team Wins" (1892)

This is a scrapbook page with a copy of the newspaper article titled "Training School Team Wins, Defeating the Williams College Men 12 to 10". The article talks about a football game that took place between Springfield College and Williams College. It describes the game, scoring, and lineups. Among those in the lineups are Lyman Archibald, James Naismith, and William G. Morgan, the creator of the game of Volleyball, all on the offensive line together. The page is from the Scrapbook created by Springfield College, at the time known as the International YMCA Training School, titled "Scrapbook Clippings and Publications, 1891-1893." The publisher was most likely the Springfield Republican, as derived by the printed "Republican" on the page. The exact date is not listed, but the game took place in late October 1892
