Cabinet Card of the 1893 Dartmouth football team. Below, the reverse of the card lists the players, their positions and several game scores. It also refers to being champions in 1893 and 1894 - of the Triangular Football League, which at the time included Williams, Amherst and Dartmouth, a subset of their regular schedule. It is interesting to note that the photographer is from Trenton, NJ. Love the crutches in front, which, as it turned out, were as much a part of football paraphernalia as cleats or vests.
