The photo seemingly shows the starting 11 offensive players for the Bruins. I couldn't find any information about other African-American players on the 1937 or 1938 teams, which must make this a 1939 photo. And that would seemingly make the player standing at the left either Robinson or Bartlett. It's too bad his face is hard to see clearly.
