Question
Do you know where the gameball from the 1893 LSU vs Tulane game is today?  Or could you point me in the right direction?

Answer
Justin, hello!

I have attached some websites for you to explore but I would start looking at the two college's website.  They will have Archives of the history from that game.  If you can find any of the players, then trace it back to their ancestors/relatives/alumni/.  You can go to the sports papers at Baton Rouge and New Orleans.  Someone in these groups will get you started.


Take care,
