1888 Cambridge Latin football photo

In 1888 an interscholastic league was formed between 7 schools in the Boston area and a trophy was donated from undergraduates at Harvard.  The hope was that more high school teams would churn out players that in turn would eventually become Harvard stars.  The main source of players of the time were coming from the prep schools Andover and Exeter.  The first year was a success and continued on as a tradition.  Here is a photo of the first championship team Cambridge Latin School.
