1888 Harry Beecher Yale Graduation Photo

 Here is a grad photo of my favorite football player from the 1880s, Harry Beecher of Yale.  He was the subject of the first American Football card from the 1888 Goodwin Champions set.  He was one of the greatest quarterbacks of the 1800s leading Yale in 1886 and becoming captain of the 1887 team.  Those teams were undefeated national champions.
