This 1892 team photo is from an extensive collection of football, Yale, Lawrenceville and family photographs and documents all originating from Mitchell C. Lilley, Jr. Lilley is pictured in this photo, his name being misspelled as Lilly on the mat (see photo below). Additionally, among those listed that appear on the Mayo Cut Plug football card set of 1894 are Beard, Hinkey, McCrea, Buttersworth, Armstrong, Stillman, Adee and Greenway. A pretty rare photo that we were lucky to come across.

We always loved these muscular football back poses. They are very hard to come by. M.C. Lilley posing.
