1905 Columbia University football cabinet photo

I found this large photograph at an antique show in Oklahoma.  It was misidentified as an Oklahoma team.  I had my doubts considering the age and the fact that Oklahoma wasn’t even a state until 1907.    I could tell that the uniform colors appeared to be white and light blue.  I was able to ID the photo as the 1905 Freshman football team at University of Columbia.  I haven’t seen too many early surviving photos from the football team at Columbia.  Even though they were one of the earliest teams dating back to 1870 they were not the powerhouse in the 19th century like Yale, Harvard and Princeton.  There is also some information written on the back where I was able to link it back to William L Benham, the captain holding the football.
