These are some really rare 1891 University of Illinois football cabinets. This was the second official season for the team. They went 5-1 and defeated Indiana University twice. Two of the cabinets are identified and 2 are unknown. Frank Arms who is in some kind of lateral pass pose, was a member of the very first team. All cabinets have the name Wright on the back. There is a player Royal Wright who played in 1890 and 1891 so it may have been passed down from him.
