Ode to Pre-War Football Cardboard

They did use a sub. I think it was William P Graves. Pudge Heffelfinger was not on the 1886 team. He played for Yale from 1888-91.

Here is a cropped pic of an unaltered photo.

Great snag, Mark! Were these on ebay? Didn't see them. What was the title?

Which player is Camp in the second photo? You said left of the captain. His left or our left? Standing or sitting? I don't see him.

Thanks Jeff. Camp isn't in either photo. Stagg is to the left of the captain (looking to the right) in the second photo.

It was listed for less than 24 hours. There was an error in the listing so she ended it :-)

I seen this photo ID'ed as Heffelfinger, but never thought it really looked like him. Should have known better by comparing the year, would never have guessed Graves. Thanks again for the education, John

Sorry. Stagg, Stagg, Stagg! Typing too fast.

Thanks.

Picked up a really nice 1889 Pach Bros Yale yearbook. My favorite Yale football team was the 1888 squad with five College Hofers and Walter Camp's first year coaching (although many argue that Mrs. Camp did most of the work). Here are a few senior pics from the yearbook.

Fantastic pickup, Mark! Those are really nice. Can you post a picture of the album?

Thanks Jeff. My wife didn't take a photo of the cover but it was a BIN on Ebay. I got a couple requests for the other team photos.
