Looks like it might possibly be from around the 1880's era, you might try an antique sport store.

I would suggest trying your local historical society. They often have old school photos and may well have ones you can compare to this.

May I ask what the football says? To me it looks like it says "Maroons 94" which could be the team name and date as in 1894. The way the gentleman is holding the ball would seem that it is meant to be read.
Good Luck
