This postcard from 1912 shows a team from the Kansas State Normal School in Emporia, Kansas. At first glance, the players in the photo appear to be members of a football team. However, the ball used as a prop in the photo is round. Kansas State Normal had a soccer team in 1912, so it is possible that at least some of the individuals pictured are soccer players.
