Harvard has a decided edge in the Harvard-Dartmouth football series which began in 1884. The Crimson has been on the long end of the score 25 times while the Big Green only carried home the bacon on six occasions. Two games ended in a tie.

Beginning the series exactly 45 years ago Harvard was supreme for 16 years in a row. The team from Hanover scored nary a point for the first 14 years of that Crimson dynasty. It was not until 1901 that Harvard's goal line was crossed by the Green, when they chalked up 12 points to Harvard's 27.

Following this there were two tie games and another Dartmouth victory and then Harvard again assumed the upper arm and remained unbeaten until 1922. Since then however, the Green has four games chalked up in the credit column against Harvard's two.
