1874 Harvard Baseball Roster Needed.

[prewarsports]

Does anyone have a baseball Roster for Harvard U. from 1874? I have an 1873 and need to know who played on the 1874 team. A list from a scorecard or a book or anything would be very helpful.

Rhys,

Awesome guys thanks! I grew up in Maine but never picked up the accent. Nothing like hearing a native New Englander say something like "The grass on the Harvard Yard is hard"

I picked up one of those huge photo albums with the entire class of 1874 on individual cabinets and each person is identified. I have the entire 1874 Varsity Football team accounted for but I wanted to find out who the Baseball players were.

You guys are great!

Any chance you guys have the 1871 and 1872 Rosters? I have 1873 and now 1874 thanks to you guys but if you have the other two years it would be very much appreciated.

1871: Eustis, Tyler, White, Wells, Austin, Reynolds, Bush (capt), Goodwin, Barnes, Annan, Reed, Allen.

1872: Eustis, Hodges, Tyler, White, Goodwin, Reed, Estabrooks, Chislom, Kent.

These may not be complete.

Rhys, any team pictures of the Harvard baseball or football teams which you will have available?

Thanks,

All the information posted on this thread is from the H Book of Harvard Athletics, published in 1922. There's a photo for nearly every year...but not 1872.

Staying with the 19c collegiate baseball topic, I would really appreciate if anyone could post images of Yale nines from 1877 to 1879.

I have individual cabinet photos, but not the team photos unfortunately.

I have tried to buy the Harvard H book a couple of times but always lost out. I guess I will need to make sure I pick one up now.

That's tougher. Harvard, Princeton, and Dartmouth all published books which detailed the athletic histories of their teams with pictures and text. Yale, I believe, did not.

Barry, there's a book called A history of Yale athletics, 1840-1888 by Richard Hurd, but not as illustrated as the 'H' book.

I'm trying to ID the players pictured in this cabinet. I'm leaning towards 1878 or 1879.



Sorry for the crappy pic, but the albumen print size is 16.25 x 12.5 inches... too big for my scanner.

Photograph is by William Notman

Thanks Jimmy. I wasn't familiar with that title.

Jimmy -

The images you seek may be hanging on the wall at Mory's in New Haven.
