The caption on this glass negative pairs a Yale coach named Jones with a trainer called Mack, though the Bain News Service notes behind the title are unverified, so the identities remain provisional. Bain was a New York news photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its athletic subjects often came from college campuses like Yale. Pictures of coaches and trainers from this period show a profession that was just taking shape. The small glass plate rewards close looking at posture and equipment.
