1946 Harvard Crimson Football Team
The 1946 Harvard Crimson football team was an American football team that represented Harvard University in the Ivy League during the 1946 college football season. In its 10th season under head coach Dick Harlow, the team compiled a 7–2 record and outscored their opponents 214 to 65. Despite the end of World War II and return of its longtime coach from military service in 1945, Harvard continued to designate its football program "informal" that year. The 1946 season thus represented the return of "major" college football to Harvard for the first time since fall 1942. Harvard was ranked at No. 46 in the final Litkenhous Difference by Score System rankings for 1946. Harvard played its home games at Harvard Stadium in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.

Ivy League
The Ivy League is an American collegiate athletic conference comprising eight private research universities in the Northeastern United States. The term ''Ivy League'' is typically used beyond the sports context to refer to the eight schools as a group of elite colleges with connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism. Its members are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. While the term was in use as early as 1933, it became official only after the formation of the athletic conference in 1954. All of the "Ivies" except Cornell were founded during the colonial period; they thus account for seven of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution. The other two colonial colleges, Rutgers University and the College of William & Mary, became public institutions. Ivy League schools are v ...

Harvard–Yale Football Rivalry
The Harvard–Yale football rivalry is renewed annually with The Game, an American college football match between the Harvard Crimson football team of Harvard University and the Yale Bulldogs football team of Yale University. Though the winner does not take possession of a physical prize, the matchup is usually considered the most important and anticipated game of the year for both teams, regardless of their season records. The Game is scheduled annually as the last contest of the year for both teams; as the Ivy League does not participate in postseason play for football, The Game is the final outing for each team's graduating seniors. Some years, the rivalry carries the additional significance of deciding the Ivy League championship. The weekend of The Game includes more than just the varsity matchup; the respective Yale residential college football teams compete against "sister" Harvard house teams the day before.

The series began in 1882 and is considered one of the fifteen oldest rivalries in College football.
