Carnegie Mellon defends the belt, 58–0, at home over Drexel.
Where this game sits in the lineage
Carnegie Mellon came in 315 days into reign #56, which began with a win over Notre Dame, with 2 defenses already behind it; this was its third defense. It was the last defense: Washington & Jefferson took the belt in the very next belt game, on October 15, 1927.
For Drexel 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 Carnegie Mellon and Drexel 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.
