Princeton defends the belt, 40–0, at home over Volunteer A.C..
Where this game sits in the lineage
Princeton came in 338 days into reign #12, which began with a win over Yale, with 6 defenses already behind it; this was its 7th defense. It was the last defense: Pennsylvania took the belt in the very next belt game, on November 10, 1894.
For Volunteer A.C. this was its first shot at the belt; it had never held the belt. It still hasn’t; this remains its only belt game.
This is the only time Princeton and Volunteer A.C. have met with the belt on the line.

Written by Claude, strictly from this site’s own record of the game — the score and what it meant for the belt. CFBD doesn’t have a box score for games this old, so nothing here is invented beyond what’s verifiably on file.
