PETERSBURG, Va.-"Uneasy lies

How appropriate the old adage
after having seen Coach Jefferson's

The always powerful Trojans will
not be as strong this season as
they have been during the past
two years - that much stands out
like a tWerped nose. Which all
goes to say that when 1910 season
closes, Coach Jefferson'S charges,
most likely, won't be hanging up
anything but their shoes. T h c

away and we do mean AWAY
at some other school.

special invitations from Coach JEFF

afternoon. Unlike former open

obvious scarcity of new faces and
many of the old familiar faces were
more conspicuous by their absence.
This squad of boys - and the
score or more that will dribble back

championship team that came
through with nothing to spare.
