Rare 1948 "Gridiron" Football Radio

This is a very scarce WWI Work Relief Fund poster featuring the Harvard Radios competing against the Princeton Aviators.

Below, the names of the teams are printed in yellow, with the date, location of the game, and ticket information printed in contrasting white.
