[edit] Error
Not annually from 1852 but "First contested in 1852, annually since 1859" --at best (except for wars or whateer we say). That is clear from the linked history by Harvard SID John Veneziano, "America's Oldest Intercollegiate Athletic Event."
Thanks, now I see that Harvard SID misspelled Winnipesaukee in two ways and I corrected only on the 1850s year or decade pages. Oops.
Have they played "The Game" annually since 1875 except for wars, as the previous version suggests (1852+23=1875)? The present text may suggest that "The Game" is second-oldest among Amer intercoll ath rivalries, a stretch. But it may be ok here, no more than a very soft gibe at the American footballists.--P64 02:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
