KeithI did some research and came up with following:
The photos are from St Marks School in Southborough Massachussetts. It is a boarding college prep school, not a military college.
I found an old postcard dated 1905 and addressed to a Alfred A Biddle of St Marks School in one of the box lots I won.
Alfred Biddle is actually a member of the well known wealthy Biddle family of Philadelphia. They are Mayflower descendants.
I misinterpreted what the football had written on it.
I thought it said St Marks Military C.
What it actually says is: St. Marks (score unreadable) Milton 0
Milton Academy was another local school, so this was a trophy ball from one of their games.
Alfred Biddle was the captain of the football team and went on to play for Yale.
