When you look at it under magnification (since the photo is so small) there is a VERY strong resemblance and I showed to a few other collectors when I first saw it and they agreed it was most likely him but due to the size of the photo and lack of identification on the jerseys there will probably never be any concrete evidence.

I do remember now that the photo was from the scrapbook of a Springfield College athlete named WW Watters(The YMCA Sports College that Basketball was invented at). He was the Football Captain and had something to do with SPorts Photography at the school because there were hundreds of Sports Photos in the scrapbook. There is no way this player was a Springfield player because they jerseys were not even close. If you could do any research and find out whether Columbia played Springfield during the early 1920's that might help a little for you. I looked but could never find anything.
