Default Yale Football Old Timers Photo Help

Appearantly in the Fall of 1901 or early 1902 a bunch of the Football Heros from Yale University's Past gathered for a game. I think they actually played the Varsity team but I dont know for sure what the event is. Anyways, the man in the back row second from the right is Pudge Heffelfinger the first Professional Football Player. I believe the guy is the middle is Walter Camp (would make sense since he was the Father of Yale Football and is holding the ball). There is no doubt that this is Yale and the year is right as this exact photo appears in the Yale University Yearbook for 1902.

Other than Pudge, anyone have any insight into what this game was or can you identify any of the other players on here?
