Early Northwestern Football Celluloid Pin

 This is the earliest football related celluloid pin I have ever come across.  It is an older style football uniform that Northwestern University had pre 1890.  I included a yearbook image of the 1890 team with similar uniforms.  The patent on the back is 1898 so maybe it was made as a 10 year anniversary of the team? 

Howard and Tad Jones Early 1900s Exeter football photos

 Here are two amazingly clear Exeter cabinet photos of Tad and Howard Jones.  Both brothers went on to play for successful Yale teams of the early 1900s.  Following their playing careers they both were successful national championship winning coaches.  Tad spent the majority of his coaching career at Yale while his older brother Howard won four National championships coaching USC.  They were the first brothers inducted into the college HOF.
