On a cold day in November of 1869, Princeton and Rutgers squared off in New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers won the game, six goals to four goals. A rematch later that month saw Princeton shut out Rutgers, 8-0. One hundred and twenty years later, Princeton played its 1,000th football game, defeating Fordham, 38-20, at Palmer Stadium on Oct. 21, 1989. The stadium, incidentally, celebrated its 75th birthday on the same day. • Princeton played a major role in the evolution of early football. A number of technical contributions, includ- ing the system of “downs” and the fixing of players into a line and a backfield, can be credited to Princeton. Football 1 • Twenty-eight Tiger teams have recorded undefeated seasons, including the 1922 “team of destiny” which was the nation’s top-ranked team that year. Harland “Pink” Baker ’22, an offensive tackle and placekicker for that team, later became one of Princeton’s most legendary figures. A fixture at Princeton football games, Baker attended every freshman and varsity contest for 60 years, except for his years in the military. An award named after Baker, who died in 1988, is given annually to the freshman defensive player who demon- strates good character, cooperative spirit, and the ability to motivate his teammates. • Princeton played in Palmer Stadium from 1914-1996, compiling a 283-160-17 record in the venerable horseshoe. Palmer Stadium, which had been the second-oldest football stadium in the country, was torn down in a three-week period beginning March 3, 1997. • Princeton Stadium opened on Sept. 19, 1998, as Princeton defeated Cornell 6-0 in the first game. Alex Sierk ’99 scored the first points in the 27,800-seat facility. Entering the 2006 season, Princeton is 20-21 all- time at Princeton Stadium. FieldTurf was added to Princeton Stadium prior to the 2006 season. • One hundred and twenty-five Princeton players have been named to at least one of a variety of All-America teams. In 2012, both defensive linemen Mike Catapano and Caraun Reid earned All-America honors. • Sixteen players and four coaches have earned a place in the National Football Hall of Fame, including 1951 Heisman Trophy winner Dick Kazmaier ’52. Along with Kazmaier, two other Princetonians have figured in the Heisman voting: Pepper Constable ’36 (1935), who finished fourth in the balloting, and Ron Landeck ’66 (1965), who finished 12th. • The Princeton-Yale rivalry is the second-oldest in college football behind only Lafayette-Lehigh. • No fewer than 36 Tigers have seen action in the professional ranks. Following the 2012 season, Bushnell Cup recipient Mike Catapano was a seventh-round draft choice of the Kansas City Chiefs. Two of the more well-known recent Princeton graduates are quarterback Jason Garrett ’89, who earned Super Bowl rings with the Dallas Cowboys in the 1992 and 1993 seasons and who was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after he led the Cowboys over the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day 1994, and Keith Elias, who has played for the New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts. Garrett also played for the New Orleans Saints in 1989. His brother, John Garrett ’88, played for the Cincinnati Bengals in 1989. • In 2011, Chuck Dibilio rushed for 1,068 yards, the most by a true freshman in the history of the Ivy League. He tied an Ivy League record by being named Rookie of the Week six times, and he set a record by earning the same award during four consecutive weeks. • The 2013 Princeton football team set the Ivy League scoring record (43.7 points per game) and total offense record (511.6 pards per game) en route to the Ivy title. Junior quarterback Quinn Epperly, who set an NCAA record with 29 straight completions during a win over Cornell, earned the Bushnell Cup as the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year. Princeton scored at least 50 points in five games; prior to the season, Princeton had scored at least 50 points in only four games over 47 seasons. • The 2016 Princeton Tigers ranked first in the Ivy League in total offense/defense, scoring offense/defense and rushing offense/defense en route to the Ivy League title. John Lovett, the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, earned first-team All-America honors after leading the FCS with 20 rushing touchdowns. He ac- counted for a program-record seven (four pass, two rush, one receiving) in a 56-7 win at Cornell. • The 2018 Tigers became the first Princeton team since 1964 to go undefeated, and they broke the Ivy League scoring record in the process (47.0 points per game), set by the 2013 Princeton squad. John Lovett became the first Princeton football player to win two Bushnell Cups, and he joined Ivy League Player of the Year finalist Jesper Horsted as an All-American.
