They both bear a strong facial resemblance, but it seems more likely to me that Lefty Russell would have gotten into a uniform for the game. The newspaper clipping that is posted earlier in this thread mentions Allen Russell (Lefty's brother), but perhaps there was some confusion about which Russell brother was coming for the game.

That stands to reason or if one brother showed up the other might as well.

Looking at Doc Kerr and Jimmy Walsh photos both are in a 1914 Baltimore Terrapins team photo over on REA archives. Steve Brodie and Runt Walsh were mentioned in papers after the game so Im wondering if Kerr was there or not

Here's a newspaper article about it from the Baltimore Sun the next day (8/9/1931) (Thanks ThomasL)....
