[2] Born on 20 September 1891 in Le Locle, Canton of Neuchâtel, his family moved to Marseille at the turn of the century, where his older brothers founded Stade Helvétique, a sports club of Swiss and English immigrants.
[5] Together with the Hattenschwyler brothers (Henri and Albert), Ernest Utiger, and William Widdington, the Scheibenstock brothers played a crucial role in the Helvétique team that won six consecutive Littoral championships from 1909 to 1914, three of which with a 100%-winning record (1910–12), and these victories qualified the club for the USFSA national championship, where it reached four finals and won three titles in 1909, 1911, and 1913, thus becoming Marseille's flagship club in the early 1910s.
[5] On 1 May 1910, he started as a forward in the 1910 USFSA national final, doing so alongside his older brother Andreas (defender); Helvétique lost 7–2 to US Tourquennoise.
[citation needed] In 1914, Stade Helvétique had to close its doors due to a lack of opponents, since all of them had been mobilized on the front during the outbreak of the First World War, with the club eventually ceasing all activity in 1916.
[10] Their biggest rivals, Olympique Marseille, took advantage of its dissolution to incorporate several of the club's most prominent players, such as Marcel Vanco and three of the Scheibenstock brothers.
