The work entitled "Touchdown, Yale vs. Princeton, Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, 1890, Yale 32, Princeton 0" by Frederic Remington captures one of the great fixtures of early American football: the Thanksgiving Day game between Yale and Princeton.

Best known for his scenes of the American West, Remington knew this sport from the inside: as a student at Yale, he had played on the university's football team himself. You can feel it in this energetic canvas, where a player dives to the ground, ball in hand, before a crowd in bowler hats pressed against the rope.

The painting is now held at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven.
