Carefully packed and quickly sent. 201604485 When Princeton and Rutgers clashed in the first intercollegiate football game in New Brunswick, New Jersey, on November 6,1869, the grid sport wasn't feasible at the University of California. Only 35 students were enrolled at the time at Cal, which had been chartered in 1868 after opening its doors as Contra Costa Academy in 1853 in Oakland. By 1877, however, there was enough interest in the sport on campus to warrant a clash between the freshmen and the sophomores for the class championship. It was the first organized football game on the West Coast, and it took place November 3. Please choose Priority / Expedited shipping for faster delivery. (No shipping to Mexico, Brazil or Italy.)
