1916 Ohio State vs. Wisconsin, it has been stated that this was Chic
Harley’s “coming out” game where he accounted for all 14 of OSU’s points
that day, it was homecoming, and the crowd numbered 12,500 making it
the largest crowd to ever see an Ohio State game. Coming in to the game
the Badgers had outscored their opponents 91-10 and were considered
“sure locks” to beat the young Buckeyes; but Buckeye coach John Wilce
had other plans and held practice until dark each evening in preparation
for the November 4th contest between the two undefeated teams; Ohio
State (3-0) vs. Wisconsin (4-0). Ohio State finished the season
undefeated (7-0) and won their first Western Conference Championship and
in the process set the record (which still stands today) for the most
points scored against an opponent 128-0 vs. Oberlin College.
The ticket has seen its share of... well... time. But here she is in all her glory:
