Quick Facts: • Princeton is one of only five schools in the country that fields a varsity sprint football team. Those five teams com- prise the Collegiate Sprint Football League. The other members are Army, Cornell, Navy and Pennsylvania. The league was formed in 1934 and was known as the Eastern 150-pound Football League. There were seven original members of the league: Cornell, Lafayette, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Rutgers, Villanova and Yale. The 150-pound limit as the basis for the lightweight team seems to have come about as a carryover from the sport of rowing, in which the weight is used to distinguish between lightweight and heavyweight crews. In 1967, the football weight limit was increased to 158 pounds, measured 48 hours before game time. The name of the league was then changed, and the term “light- weight” was substituted for “150-pound.” In 1993, the weight limit was increased another pound to 159. In 1998, the name was changed to "sprint" football. • Harry Mahnken, the Tigers’ coach from 1936-42, led Princeton to league titles in six of his seven years as head coach. The Orange and Black strung together consecutive championships from 1937-42. Since then, Princeton has won three titles (1954, 1975 and 1989). Lightweight Football 1 Letterwinners 1931 F.D.
