{{Chronology Entry |Year=1828 |Year Number=20 |Headline=Cricket and Base and Football at Harvard? |Salience=2 |Tags=Harvard College, |Country=United States |Coordinates=42.3736158, -71.10973349999999 |State=MA |City=Cambridge |Game=Base |Immediacy of Report=Contemporary |Age of Players=Adult |Text= "There are some other features of college life we fain would sketch but our pen confesses its weakness in the attempt. Would we could call upon the Engine to give out a history of the exertions of those who managed it in days of yore; or that we could contrive to make the Delta yield up a narrative of the sports it has witnessed. It could tell , before it took its present gallows appearance, of Cricket - Base- and Foot ball; it could tell how many pedal members began the game with white, unspotted skins, but limped off at its conclusion tinged with variegated hues.” |Sources=''The Harvard Register'', Feb. 1828; from an article entitled “Life in College.” |Query=Can we assume that 'pedal members' pertained to the feet, and that it was thus foot ball, and not the two base-running games that caused the bruises?  |Submitted by=David Block |Submission Note=Email of June 1, 2021. |Reviewed=Yes |Has Supplemental Text=No }}
