November 22 against Waseda University
November 23 against Keio University
November 26 against Kansai University
My guess is that Ooshita is from one of those universities, though I'm not sure which.

Thank you. The pictures definitely originated from the tour. With a bit of help I believe the names of the 6 Japanese signers are listed below. Have struggled to find any info to get a sense of their value though.
