Default College Football Advertising Cabinet

Just picked this up last week from ebay. It's a large cabinet card advertising the Nov 28, Thanksgiving Day showdown between Dartmouth and Brown (the Big Green won 22-0).

This seems to have been a popular publicity campaign for the school. I've seen another copy of this cabinet on ebay where the seller provided a nice write up of the piece. I've also seen postcards from other years with the same motif of the coach, trainer and captain. The man on the left is an athletic trainer named John Bowler, the man in the middle is Captain John O'Connor and on the far right is the coach, Walter McCornack.

I think the piece has a cool aesthetic and the Rah-Rah quotes below the photograph just make me chuckle a bit.
