I don't have anything specific to that era of Yale football to share, but I collect early Harvard football material, so I certainly appreciate the topic!
Hope you don't mind my sharing - this picture from my office wall includes an 1894 Harvard pennant (right in line with Hinkey's era), along with a 1903 panoramic of the new Harvard football stadium. The action shot is from a Harvard - Yale game in New Haven from 1908. Good luck with the project! Scott |

Scott,
Very cool display. Since you are a Harvard guy I am posting two 19th century Harvard autographs from my private collection. William H Lewis - 1891-93 Harvard center, first African-American All-American and earliest college football HOFer. He became a prominent lawyer and was appointed to US Assistant Attorney General. ![]() Charles D Daly - Harvard All-American QB from 1898-1900. Transferred to Army on request from Teddy Roosevelt, where he played from 1901-02. Considered the only 5x All-American football player and inaugural member of the college football HOF. I was blessed to purchase his personal estate from his grand-daughter, which is now in the West Point Archives. I kept a couple autographs and a beautiful handpainting by him.

Here are a couple pieces I acquired from Harold Letton's grandson. Letton was a sub on the 1894 Yale football team.

Thanks for the comment - I will start a new thread shortly with some material, so as not to hijack / detract from Mark's great Yale materials!

Great thread - fun to see all these items (and that's true even though I'm a Princeton fan!

I believe this c1910 pillow cover is a depiction of a 19th Century game between Harvard and Yale.
