The rivalry between them was intense. For years each had striven for posses- sion of an old Revolutionary cannon, making night forays and lugging it back and forth time and again. Not long before the first football game, the canny Princetonians had settled this competition in their own favor by ignominiously sinking the gun in several feet of concrete. In addition to this, I regret to report, Princeton had beaten Rutgers in baseball by the harrowing score of 40-2. Rutgers longed for a chance to square things.” • Rutgers got started in the grid sport the following season and in a few years most of the colleges and universities in the East were represented on the gridiron. • Read more online at ScarletKnights.com/firstgame
