1934 Virginia State Trojans football team

American college football season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1934 Virginia State Trojans football team represented Virginia State College for Negroes—now known as Virginia State University—as a member of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) during the 1934 college football season. Led by first-year head coach Harry R. Jefferson, the Trojans finished the season 3–4–2 overall and 3–3–2 in conference play, tying for sixth place in the CIAA standings, which were based on the Dickinson System. In December, Howard forfeited its tie with Virginia State due to an ineligible player, bringing the Trojans' record to 4–4–1 overall and 4–3–1 in conference play, and improving the team's CIAA standing to fifth place.[1][2] Virginia State was invited to the Orange Blossom Classic, where the Trojans lost to Florida A&M. The team played home games at Rogers Athletic Field in Petersburg, Virginia.
