1899 Lafayette Gold Football Charm H.E. Trout

 


1899 Lafayette charm belonging to H.E. Trout (Harry Edgar), '03. Trout played for four years on the varsity team, captaining in 1902. Besides playing left guard , he was known to often kick the goals. Trout was a powerhouse; in one article he was referred to as the "tower of strength for the maroon and white". Certainly one of the most attractive of the early football charms with the maroon and white enameling. A rare charm. Lafayette went 12 and 1 on the season, registering 10 shutouts. The charm lists two of its wins and scores against UPenn and Cornell.
