This decision gives Princeton possession for one year of the silver loving cup presented by the University Glee Club of New York, which is to become the property of the club winning the meet three times.

"There was a large crowd and much enthusiasm." In spite of the lack of general interest which it aroused, this game on May 15, 1874, marked the beginning of a football regime which has reached its highest point before 49,000 spectators today...
