Joe, I am thinking that the players with 1930 (or 1935) on their uniforms are freshmen of the class of 1930 (or 1935) and that the others are veteran team members. Thereby the pictures could have been taken a few years previous. Maybe even 1932 which might correlate with the Wedgewood code 5W32. I was hoping that Coach Wood might be depicted on your plate but the picture is too hard for me to make out. I am swinging at anything here. On a completely different tack the Yale baseball team played a series of exhibition games with Waseda University in Japan in 1935. Maybe your plate commemorates that in some fashion. Any of your "Plankies" Japanese? Sorry there's plenty questions and no answers. Hope someone else can figure out what you've got.
