Interesting! I agree - the brown pants, vertical striped jerseys, and helmets all look like football in the 30s. Also, the brown ball (Rugby is a white ball at least in modern times). Another giveaway would be blocking. You can't block in Rugby and it could be argued that it looks like some blocking occurred. I do see "Rugby" on the back of the card though and given that our football isn't popular in any other country even in 2015 makes it seem more likely to be Rugby than American football. Anyone know what language that is?

I believe these cards are from Germany, but I cannot read German.

That is definitely American Football. A lot of sports sets show sports from around the world and often don't classify the players or sports they depict correctly. Here's a Spanish Grange card that says on the back he plays baseball.
  I have a foreign card that depicts Jim Thorpe and calls him "Jom Thorpe" as well. jeff

When Case School of Applied Science regularly beat OSU
Not a card, but a pretty neat 16" x 20" photo when Case permanently took possession of the Ohio Cup in 1908.
