Page with 1913 Pennsylvania-Michigan Football Memorabilia
Format
Photographic print and paper decals on paper.
Date
c. 11-1913
Location
Ferry Field, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Description
This page describes the football team of the University of Michigan in 1913, along with details from the games played in November. The ephemera on this page includes a 1913 photograph, possibly taken from a newspaper, that featured the Michigan Football Squad of that era, including their names. An illustrated icon of a University of Michigan football player and bold text reading "Pennsylvania-Michigan: Ferry Field - Nov. 15, 1913" is situated to the right of the team photograph. Under it is a receipt for a hefty total of $16.89, signed by Claude S. Buchanan himself, which provides evidence of paid party fare from Ann Arbor, Michigan, to Ithaca, Michigan, and back for the nights of November 7th and November 8th, 1913. Two player lists decorate the space to the right of the receipt, which include details such as the average age and weight of the team. Lastly, a $1.00 ticket for a reserved seat, presumably Claude's own, is placed in the bottom right corner.
