How does one find early 1900 football stats for the Polo Grounds in
New York City?  Specifically, related to games played by Columbia
University.

I have found a list of every amateur football game played at the Polo
Grounds, including date, teams, score, and in many cases attendance. 
It is not a Columbia University or official college football web page,
but it is so detailed that I believe it must be quite accurate.  (It
lists not only results from Columbia intercollegiate games, but
obscure results such as Columbia sophomores versus Columbia Law
School!)  Would this be a sufficient answer?

My Grandfather, Robert Chauncey Bishop, played for Columbia,
1904-1907(?)...He reportedly held the record for the longest punt in
the Polo Grounds - 96 yards...I would like to verify that record...Was
also known as "Chance"...Any info would be appreciated...Where might
old Polo Grounds history be archived?
Thanks...

No games were played by Columbia between 1905 and 1915
