2. Competition
Harvard University's biggest rival in sports is the equally famous Yale University, and this competitive relationship has become the tradition of the two universities. The sports competition between Harvard University and Yale University has always been fierce, among which the American football competition starting with 1875 has attracted the most attention. These two universities are often called "games". This tradition has also influenced the development model of American football games.
1903 The new design and layout of Harvard Stadium reduced the risk of players falling and being injured in the game. Walter Camp, the father of American football, praised this, but he hoped that the venue would be wider. However, due to the limited land area, it was difficult for Harvard to make a trip.
This directly prompted Kemp to put forward new competitive rules in 1906 to make up for the lack of venues, which had a far-reaching impact on the development of American football.
Besides football, sports competitions between Harvard and Yale also include boating. This event is held every year in Thames, Connecticut. Every once in a while, they will join hands against Cambridge University and Oxford University in England, which is also the oldest sports competition among multinational universities.
