Good call..the second photo is from 1885. Stagg is to the left of Peters (captain) and Woodruff is to the right of Gill.
Yes, George Watkinson died from fatigue/malaria immediately after playing the 1886 Yale-Princeton game. Since he was a starter and key player it looks like Pach Bros took his 1885 photo, reversed it and glued it over another player. It was professionally done and was likely a tribute to Watkinson.
