The ball does not appear to have laces. The ball and shorts are similar to ones depicted in a team photo (different school, scanned below) from 1917 that I picked up last weekend. So my guess would be teens, but it could be later because I am not sure when they changed out of the lace up style long shorts (at least by the late 1940s it changed). Thank you very much for your dating tool. When did they stop using laces on basketballs?
