1911 Princeton Football Banquet / Hobey Baker

1911 banquet for the Princeton Football Team. Held at the Hotel Martinique in New York City following Princeton's victory over Yale , 6 - 3, on November 18, 1911. Princeton had not beaten Yale since 1903. There were many recognizable Princeton football players of the past present, some of whom I picture below. A similar photo from the 1914 dinner can be found in the Images of Sports book, "Princeton Football". This is a mesmerizing photo and measures 19 1/4 by 11 3/8. Excuse the reflection in the glass of the photos, the actual photo is crystal clear.
