Hi Phil, thanks for the reply. It will be interesting to see Rhys' scan which should put it to bed one way or another.

Until then I would like to make a few more observations.

On whether they were good enough to be NY's best football team, they were. All but one of Columbia's wins were against NY opposition (going 3-0 against their immediate rivals). Their losses were mainly against the big Ivy League teams like Yale, Princeton and Amherst (see the results schedule in my 2nd e-mail).

On his eligibility, Collins was banned from the 1906/07 season (Graduated in 1907 before returning to the A's). I believe the Columbia photo was taken at the end of the academic school year of 1905/06 (I.E. January 06).
