Back Row – Stagg, Rhodes, Woodruff, Heffelfinger, Gill, Wallace and Bull
Front Row – McClung, Wurtenberg, Pa Corbin (Captain) and Graves
One of the best known and most desirable of early Yale football photos. This team had all three of the first Yale players to be named All-Americans in 1889, Stagg, Gill and Heffelfinger. With a 13 – 0 record this team outscored the opposition 698 – 0. Pach albumin photo.
We are including this Pach cabinet photo since it pictures Gill, Corbin, and Woodruff who appear in the football cabinet photo and also J.A. Hartwell (far right) who played varsity football 1889, '90 and '91. Charles Gill, who I have not written about previously in this blog played varsity football 1885, '86,'87, '88 and '89 (as Captain) and was considered amongst the best to have played football for Yale. He was a member of the varsity crew in 1887, '88 and '89.
1889 All-American Pach Cabinet Card
In 1889 the Yale team under Gill scored 665 points to their opponents 31.
