I will add one more bit of fuel to the fire...despite how cool it would be if this postcard did include Mr. Rice (or at least the HOF Sam Rice)...he's listed as being 5'9". The guy in the middle back row appears to be about 5'6" given the size of his teammates and the average size of a ball player back in the day.
Not that this amounts to much as there are certainly some late bloomers in this world (check out what happened to David Robinson of San Antonio Spurs fame during his college years at Navy).
