Very nice...I'm kinda chuckling a little about the guy in the upper left corner though...Is that picture attached to the team photo?

I knew that Collins played for Columbia, but I would have never been able to identify him in that photo.

Default After Thought

Yeah, it is attached to the cabinet photo. They guy must also have been a player and was probably away when the rest of the team were snapped. As an after thought, he was tagged on later. Either that or he was a disgruntled waterboy who felt he belonged!

That's still an awesome photo...Attachment or not...I think the attachment's kinda cool, it would be neat to figure who it is. Guessing from the suit and his apparent age, I'm wondering if maybe he were the school president. Maybe it was his copy of the photo? It's a reasonable explanation for the attachment. Or it may have been attached to all photos. If so, how many remaining have the attachment? A lot of fun research to be had with that photo. Great find.

A little research probably shows why Columbia was one of the schools who cancelled the game, and why Yale wanted to lead the reform....Yale beat Columbia 53-0 in 1905.

A little research also leads me to believe that the attached photo is definitely not the president of Columbia, since in every photo of Nicholas Murray Butler I could find he had a mustache.

It sure was a short trip from semi-handsome to homely for Eddie I must say.

Interesting, argueably the greatest first baseman ever and the greatest second baseman ever both played football at Columbia.

My thoughts exactly. My recurring image of Eddie is from that Mossi-esque Exhibit card. However, the cabinet is a very cool photo.
