We start this week with another cartoon devoted to Yale’s role in football’s history; this one covers their 1923 team. It mentions Ducky Pond, who returned to Yale to coach and mentor two Heisman Trophy winners, allowing him to become the only multi-Heisman coach with a losing career record. Of course, Tad Jones’ speech before the 1923 Harvard game guarantees the team’s place in football history.
