1890 Harvard Football Team Albumin



Period albumin of the 1890 Harvard varsity football team. This team was unbeaten and untied, scoring 555 points while holding its opponents to 12. This included a 12 to 6 win over Yale, only the second win over the Elis since 1875.

The photo includes five All-Americans, including four-time All-American Marshall “Ma” Newell (seated between the two H sweaters), John Cranston, Dudley Dean, John Corbett and Frank Hallowell. Trafford and Lee were named to the second All-American team.

Everett Lake, ex WPI is to the far right (see November 5, 2013 blog posting).
