I'll take a shot:
Left Side: Brown far left? Is Holly second from the left? Ward 3rd from left sitting? Right Side: Lea far right? Barnett second from right? Taylor or Burt third from right? Middle: Morse sitting in front? Trencher holding the ball?

Was able to match this photo with one in a Princeton archive that had each player identified:
Standing in back: Wheeler, Holly, Blake Sitting in middle row: Brown, Balliett, Trenchard, King, Taylor, Lea Front Row: Ward, Morse Mayo players in bold. It is generally believed that the Mayo set was created from player images taken from 1893 team photos. Photo images were touched up to remove surrounding players and uniforms were redrawn/sketched as needed. You can see the similarity when comparing the poses in this team photo with the Mayo cards themselves.         jeff Last edited by jefferyepayne; 08-16-2015 at 09:25 AM.

I can't compete with most of the stuff posted here but I haven't seen any Sport Kings so...
Incidentally, Jeff, Huggins & Scott has another Grange football box in their November auction, item #89244. The graphics are different from yours. I actually like the one you purchased more. No football with this one either.

Nice, guys! Can you imagine if they had done an entire Sports King set of football players?

I love the Grange and even though it isn't his earliest card, it's still a period card. The vertical stripes on the uniform is a classic look and I think it's the Bears and not Illinois: http://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/tea..._ChiBears.html. And I guess because it's 1933, he even looks kind of... tired.

I agree with Mike also, the Sport Kings Rockne is much more aesthetically appealing than the National Chicle. My wife says "He looks like a baby doll" on the National Chicle and actually calls the card the "Baby Head card"!

Orient Football Club is believed to be the first football team formed in Washington DC. This cabinet came with a newspaper article from 1889 that discusses their formation in 1883!
 For the first couple of years, they had no opponents to play as they couldn't find another team so they just practiced in Lincoln Park in DC. jeff

Statue of Lincoln commemorating the abolition of slavery  A lot more concrete in this park than I bet there was in the 1880s!  This is more like it!  Some beautiful old townhouses surround it now.  jeff
