The New York Times' Dave Caldwell reported today that Harvard and Yale have been going at it since 1875, and that Saturday's game was their 126th meeting.
On the very next Sports page, however, the Associated Press acknowledged Lehigh and Lafayette as "the country's oldest rivalry", dating back to 1897. The teams have played each other 145 times to date.
And here I thought age was calculated by years, not by number of games. Silly me.
