RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 3.-Three
members of the 1898 all-Southern
Conference football squad were
casualties of September campaigning
and at least one may be lost for the
remainder of the season.
They are Louis Trunzo, stocky
Wake Forest guard who was the
only sophomore on last years honor
team, and Paul Shu, v. M. l., and
George Stirnweiss, North Carolina,
triple-threat backs.
Trunzo, 184-pound youth from
Apollo, Pa, received a wrenched
knee when the Deacons bowed to
North Carolina Saturday. Wake
Forest coaches stated that he would
be unable to play against Maimi in
the Orange Bowl Friday night and
might be sidelined for the season.
Shu, twice high scorer in the loop,
was removed from game because
of injuries for the first time in his
football career when V. M. I. met
Roanoke in the opener two weeks
ago.
Unlikely to Play Saturday.
The injury, a strained leg tendon.
was not believed serious at first. 1t
failed to respond to treatment, how
ever, with the result that Shu re-
manned away from practice until
Yesterday, when he returned for a
light workout. There was little pros
pect that Shu would be in condition
to start against Davidson at Blue
field. w. Va, on Saturday. but V. M.
I. coaches hoped to have him ready
for Vanderbilt on the following week
end.
Stirnweiss, hurt in the same game
which took Trunzo, was hobbllng
about on crutches with bad knee.
He may be in shape to play against
Virginia Tech at Norfolk Saturday,
but if the Tar Heel offense clicks as
it has in two previous starts. Caro-
lima coaches may decide to hold
Stirnweiss out for the important
New York u. game on October IA.
Knee injuries took three men
from the N. c. State squad, Ends
Charley Smart and Monte CraW-
ford and Halfback Pat Fehley.
There was some doubt as to wheth-
er they would see service against
Clemson at Charlotte. Jack Huck-
abee, reserve back, has taken over
Fehley's berth.
Dukes Blue Devils, who came out
Of their Davidson opener in good
physical condition, heard reports
from scouts that Colgate was
stronger than Saturdays loss to
New York u indicated. Duke opens
a series of three intersectional
scraps against the Red Raiders at
Durham this week end.
Assistant coaches played with the
reserves at the Citadel to give the
varsity more opposition in scrim-
mage drills. Coach Mcleod had
his Furman charges out scrimmag-
ing a few hours after they returned
from the Army game at West
Point.
The injury jinx visited Clemson's
practice field yesterday and sent
Frank Deitz, tackle, to the trainers
table for leg treatment.
Plans to Use Reserves.
Coach Red Enright said he would
use some reserves against Villanova
at Philadelphia Friday night if in
jued regulars did not respond to
treatment.
Simmons Truehart, Washington
and Lee end, received dislocated
elbow in the SeWanee game, but
physicians said he probably would
be ready for the Richmond game.
Richmond transferred Stuart Hos
kins to fullback to replace injured
Bill Fitzhugh.
Davidson scrimmaged against V.
M. I. plays. Virginia Techs Cob
blers, who escaped injuries in the
rain battle with Marshall, began
preparations for North Carolina
with a scrimmage against the fresh
men. Old injuries slowed up Half
back Waldo Matthews and AL
Chestnut, end, as William and Mary
began work for the apprentice
school game.
