This photo of the 1914 - 1915 basketball champs was taken in Tyrone PA at the studio of J.H. Holtzinger at 1247 Penna. Ave. Does anybody recognize any of these players or have any idea what team this may have been?

Wouldn't that be amazing if you've identified two fellows from that long ago. Any idea what the "B" on the basketball stands for? Was there a school in Tyrone where the team's name began with "B".
thank you very much for the info .... every little bit helps.

I pulled out the old magnifying glass and took a closer look at the photo. That is a basketball sitting on a trophy. I can't see any lettering on the trophy, but the lettering on the Basketball was done by hand, maybe with white paint. The small lettering below the "B" is kinda sloppy, but it looks like P. A. R. YMCA. It was a YMCA TEAM! that lettering is very faint and I hadn't seen it before. thank you!
