Truth was that Russell could never remember a worse-looking team. The boys were still shoeless and would be until the end of September. The orphans did not wear shoes from April 1 until October 1. Some of the boys wore gray jerseys, others white. Everything had a hole in it. Only half of the team had leather helmets, and none of those matched. And they looked pretty funny throwing passes with Clabber Girl Baking Powder cans.
