An Okie Legacy

This is what we know of last weeks old time football players in the photo on the left: "Pillow Top, manufactured by The Harry M. Muller Co., Mfgs of Photo Pillow Tops, 411-413 Montrose Ave., Chicago, Ill." Agents Name - Phillips; ship by mail; town & state - San Francisco, Cal.; remarks - Zenobia satin. The football has "Pug Ugly Twins" written on it. Is the writing on the backside of photo, at the bottom "(either 104 or P04) Kanis 148 CO?" Could this "148 CO" have reference to the "148th CAC CO?"

David says, "The football uniforms are similar to U of Washington?s 1903 uniforms and 1903 Tampa. The city and state are San Francisco, Cal."

We were wondering if the picture of the two football players, allegedly taken around 1903, could be a couple of sixteen year olds? If so, one of these boys could be Constance Estella Warwick's younger brother, Robert Lee Warwick, whom was born November 5, 1887, Monterey, Virginia. Robert Lee Warwick son of John R. and Signora Warwick was born Nov. 5, 1887, at Monterey, Va. In 1914, he enlisted in the U. S. Army where he served three years with the Coast Artillery Corp. 5th Company. He then joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force at Toronto, Canada and was sent to France with the Canadian Army. He served through World War I and received his discharge June 29, 1919.
