According to it, SCI beat Gettysburg 6-0, and the game was played March 24, 1910, presumably at SCI.
So, while the initials on the uniforms are a match, and SCI was in Dayton, VA, where the postcard was mailed, the game was almost two months before the postcard was mailed (the postmark only clearly shows "MA" for the month, but the date is before the 20th of the month, so if the postmark was actually March, it would have been before the game was even played.
So something isn't matching up.

Could the postmark "MA" represent May and not March?
