1869

Rutgers defeats Princeton six goals to four Nov. 6 in the first College Football game ever played. The original Princeton "25" takes the field with William Stryker Gunmere ' 70 as Princeton's first football captain and Jacob Edwin Michael ' 71 scores Princeton's first goal. Princeton wins the return match eight goals to zero later in the year. The members of this team were the founding members of the Princeton College Football Association.
