The Haskell Fighting Indians football team represented the Haskell Institute (Later known as Haskell Indian Nations University.) in the sport of college football.[35] They fielded their first football team in 1896.[36] From the 1900s to the 1930s, Haskell’s football program was referred to as the “Powerhouse of the West,” playing teams from Harvard, Yale, Brown, Missouri, Nebraska, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma A&M, Wisconsin and Minnesota.[37] But in 1931, a new superintendent (R. D. Baldwin) made the decision to shift the college football team to high school status following the 1931 season. With fewer teams available to play, Haskell dropped football after the 1938 season.[36] Football at Haskell would not be resumed again until 1990.[citation needed]
Due to funding shortfalls, Haskell suspended football for the 2015 season.[38]

The 1968 Yale vs. Harvard football game was a college football game between the Yale Bulldogs and the Harvard Crimson, played on November 23, 1968. The game ended in a 29–29 tie after Harvard made what is considered a miraculous last-moment comeback, scoring 16 points in the final 42 seconds to tie the game against a highly touted Yale squad. The significance of the moral victory for Harvard inspired the next day's The Harvard Crimson student newspaper to print the famous headline "Harvard Beats Yale, 29–29". In 2010, ESPN ranked it No. 9 in its list of the top ten college football ties of all time.
Yale came into the game with a 16-game winning streak and its quarterback, Brian Dowling, had only lost one game when he was in the starting lineup since the sixth grade. Both schools entered the game with perfect 8–0 records. It was the first time both schools met when undefeated and untied since the 1909 season.
The tie left both teams 8–0–1 for the season. The famous headline was later used as the title for Harvard Beats Yale 29–29, a 2008 documentary about the game directed by Kevin Rafferty. Actor Tommy Lee Jones, who played on the offensive line for Harvard in the game, was interviewed for the documentary.
This game stands as the final tie in the Harvard–Yale series, as subsequent rule changes have eliminated ties from college football. (Full article...)User:Paulmcdonald/College Football/19
