KeithThanks for the comments guys.
I picked up the Nebraska photo on ebay, but it wasn't identified well at all. I found an 1894 team photo online and id'd Whipple from that.
Although its hard to tell in the digital photo I posted (and the photo is too big to scan on my scanner), the ball is marked with a MAA and 98, with MAA standing for either Milton Academy Athletics or Milton Athletic Association. The photo has a Boston area photographers mark.
The closest I have to a New England college photo is a circa 1895 Colgate team photo, although I do have 7 different Saint Marks School (of Southborough Mass) photographs from 1906 and 1907.
