The image below is from the September 29th, 1947, Ottawa Citizen. There are very few images of the Trojans that are of even decent quality so I like to capture all the ones I come across.
That was the fourth game of the 1947 season for the Trojans. They had tied the first and lost the next two so this was their first victory of the season.
The two major papers at the time (Citizen and Journal) speculated that the team had turned the proverbial corner after going winless in 1946 and they turned out to be correct. The team would finish with a 5-4-1 record and win the Ontario Rugby Football Union.
The line-ups for those games often only listed last names but the recap for this one itself was quite detailed so I've begun a list of players who have performed for the Trojans from their 1943 season as the Combines to their final season in 1947. It'll be a slow build, as I'll only add to it when I happen to see a game report which displays full names, but gradually the mighty Trojans will be fully represented.
