1880s Phillips Academy Andover Football Photos



Two smaller 5" x 4" albumin photos from a set of three showing a game in progress at Andover. Photos are mid to late 1880s. As has been mentioned previously in this blog, Andover was a significant feeder school for Yale. During the period of these photos Andover played such teams as Exeter, Tufts, Harvard Varsity, Harvard 2nd, Harvard Freshman, Dartmouth Varsity, MIT, Yale Freshman, Boston Latin and several other football teams.


       Another more distant view of the Andover football field taken during the Andover - Harvard Varsity Football game of 1886. Photo appears in Phillips Academy Andover on Diamond, Track and Field.
