HI
I recently came across a 1919 Ohio State vs Illinois Football Ticket Saturday November 22 1919.
It was there homecoming game
Does anyone know if this is a rare ticket?
It was taken out of a scrap book, so part of the scrapbook is still attached
Thanks
Tom
That is a nice ticket. It would be desired to a Illi or Ohio State collector. Any pre-1920 tickets are rare.
That is what I thought
Thanks for responding
catpaws - do you still have this ticket stub? Do you have any others from the 1919 season?
According to some quick research online, the results of that game was Illinois 9, Ohio State 7.
It was the final game of the season, for both Illinois and Ohio State. This was the Buckeyes only loss of the season and the Ohio State finished the season with a record of 6 Wins and 1 Loss.
Illinois also has a record of 6 Wins and 1 Loss, and by beating Ohio State in this head-to-head match up and final game of the season, Illinois secured the Big Ten Championship. Illinois sole Loss came at Home against Wisconsin earlier in the year, Wisconsin 14, Illinois, 10.
