1889 Dartmouth Football Team Photo



 





This is probably the best Dartmouth team of the 19th century.  I had touched a little about Clarence Howland the father of Dartmouth football in another post.  William Odlin was the captain of the 86-89 squad pictured in the image with the football.  He was responsible for renewed interest in football at the university.  The 1889 squad went 7-1 with their only loss to Harvard that year.
