This rare vintage sports advertising postcard serves as an announcement about an upcoming Lacrosse game. Dartmouth College was playing the Seventh Regiment (Army) team. The game was played in New York City’s 7th Regiment armory on March 12th, 1949. Interestingly the postcard states that the game was televised by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC). Tickets to the game were $1.20. Buying tickets for a 2024 lacrosse game will cost you $10.00. Ticket prices don’t seem to have kept up with inflation. Dartmouth fans that attended the Dartmouth games in 1949 were likely very happy. The team had a great season. Their overall record was 10-1, and they were 3-0 in their confererence. During the season they had a seven game winning streak. The 1949 Dartmouth team beat New Hampshire, Yale, Harvard, Union College, Cornell, Tufts, Hobart and Williams. Their one loss was when they played Syracuse. Dartmouth lost 17-12. SOLD
