Item Details

Description

Made by the J. & E. Stevens Company Cromwell, Connecticut - Circa 1905 The Calamity Bank portrays collegiate football as it was played at the beginning of the 20th Century. In this particular example, we find two defense tacklers from Yale (blue details) taking down a running fullback from Harvard (crimson details). Wearing only nominal protective gear, many players sustained serious injuries. President Teddy Roosevelt viewed this situation as very dangerous. He planned to incorporate the abolition of collegiate football as part of his platform re-election in 1904. It's a good thing that his political advisers talked him out of it. This is one of the best-known examples of the bank. Material: Cast Iron
