January 2011 Pick-ups
Picked up this postally used 1905 "The Yale Eleven" postcard that features College Football Hall of Famers Thomas Shevlin (pictured lower right) and "Tad" Jones (pictured top row, second from the left).
In 1905, Shevlin was an Consensus All-American, as was Roswell Tripp (pictured bottom row, third from the right).
Walter Forbes (pictured top row, second from the right) was selected by Walter Camp in Collier's Weekly as a second team All-American, as was S.F.B. Morse (pictured bottom row, second from the left) and Flanders (pictured middle row, by himself).
Interestingly, Howard Roome, Guy Hutchinson and Lucius "Ray" Bigelow were other Yale players also named All-Americans during the 1905 season, but are not pictured on the postcard. Talk about a stacked team.
