1887 Harvard Football Game photos

This is an incredibly rare find.  19th century original game photographs are nearly non existent even for the 1890s, but even more so in the 1880s.  This is from a group of photos that came from the Harvard Archives showing rival opponents Wesleyan University and M.I.T.  Harvard had a great team this year 652-17 and going 10-1.  Their lone loss being against Yale this year.  In these photos you will see great images of Jarvis field.  One image shows Joseph Sears making a rush who was the Harvard Captain the next year in 1888.  Also on this team was Arthur Cummock who was captain in 89 and 90 and helped them win a championship in 1890.
