Some old photos circa 1912. From where I do not know. I don't collect football, but these came from a photo collection that contained old Milwaukee Brewers and Columbus Senators photos.

By the way, we need to be careful with the image sizes. Moderator Dude wants us to be careful so as not to keep dial-up internet users sitting all night waiting for them to download.

Rob M.

P.S. Nice pics

The only football photos I used to have were a team photo of the 1935 Bears that signed by Nagurski and Grange. Both signatures were acquired by myself. I sold the pic a few years ago to buy Indian cards. I also had a small CDV of an action scene the featured a Black running back. Very unusual for the time period.

I've been searching my computer to see if I kept the scans, but noluck locating them yet.

From Graves "The Line Man's Bible" from 1921. This book is full of amazing shots just like this (tactics that were legal in 1921 that would get a player tossed today).

Looks like a football or BIG softball the one guy is holding. Judging by some of their noses this could have been a football team..

I actually had this one taken from a printing plate I have in my collection. If anyone recognizes the team I'd love to hear from you. (The printing plate was found in SW Wisconsin)

I know, seems out of place this time of year, but for a brief break from the baseball season I thought I'd throw this one out to our Canuck friends to the north (Max, Elliot, et. al.). Do any of you have any knowledge that you can throw this way about early Canadian football? I picked this cabinet up recently and thought I'd try to see if there is any information you all could throw this way.

Rob M.

P.S. Be nice Leon, remember you gave us some space on this thread last fall!

I don't know anything about early football but Pittaway was the premier photo studio in Ottawa. They did some great cabinets and studio portraits of the stars of the day in all sports. Jim.

The first one is a cabinet from around 1900 of a Muhlenberg College player.



The next one is a company team "C & A". I believe it is Collins and Aikman - a textile company in Michigan



This one isn't nearly as old but I really like it. It is a wire photo of Bert Bell conducting the 1958 NFL draft. My how things have changed from a chalkboard to the media frenzy that the draft is now.

Here's an old English tobacco card from the 30's. I love the picture and always pick it up when I see it in Ye Olde Shoppes over here in the UK.

Cheers,

Could be a pumpkin but for the purposes of this thread will call it an early football.

I've always liked that Beecher card. I've got an 1886 letter from a Yale student that kind of pays tribute to the way Beecher played. In part he says: "You ought to see how they play football here. They go in to win. There is three times as much slugging in a practice game as there as there is in the Exeter or Andover game. Hanson played one evening and Pike who was playing opposite him told him to get onside Hanson did not stir and Pike drew off and hit him right in the eye, then Hanson as soon as he recovered himself hit Pike a dandy on the nose and they had a regular fight until the Captain yelled to them to stop. Hanson had a terrible eye and Pike a skinned nose. You ought to see Beecher play. He is something like Harding, one minute he is in the midst of a crowd and the next he has the ball and running for the goal. He has not layed [sic] up at all. He had a sore leg but plays just the same."

Thanks for sharing your letter regarding Beecher, neat bit of FB history.

The guy behind Beecher was Walter Camp, who was Yale's head coach during
the 1880's; and, is considered the "Father of Modern Day Football".
Camp re-designed the game of that time to how it is presently played. He
originated the 11 man playing team, he invented the 10-yard 1st dowm rule,
and he was the 1st to establish an effective passing game. A great guy that
you don't hear enough about.

I was lucky enough to find these last week on ebay as part of a 500 postcard lot. Of the seven, four are new additions to the current checlist. The new players are A.G Alexander ("Aleck"), Wm. Carothers ("Buster"), Carl L. Ristine ("Curly"), and F.L. Williams ("Red"). The other three players are Deatheridge, Graves, and Miller. Many interesting facts regarding the 1908 campaign are recorded in fountain pen on the cards. The cards were published by "The University Co-Operative Sore, Columbia, Mo." Almost identical in style and format to the Dietsche issues.

Since this thread was resurrected, I thought I'd share a postcard I picked up on eBay a few months back.

The card shows the Harvard Eleven and is postmarked and dated Nov.25, 1905 from Boston which is where Yale beat Harvard 6-0 for the 1905 championship of college football.





Here is an interesting article on that particular game which, among other changes, lead to the NCAA establishing the 10 yard first down rule.
