Heisman History — 26 August 2010

Here’s Yale’s Larry Kelley holding aloft his Heisman Trophy, with a Harvard pennant clearly visible in the picture.

Kelley was the trophy’s second recipient back in 1936, making the two-way Yalie — he played tight end and linebacker — the first to win the “Heisman Trophy,” since it was called the “Downtown Athletic Club Trophy’’ the year before when Jay Berwanger won it.
