Where this game sits in the lineage
Washington & Jefferson came in 14 days into reign #57, which began with a win over Carnegie Mellon, with one defense already behind it; this was its second defense. Washington & Jefferson went on to defend it 5 more times before Duquesne took it on October 13, 1928, 364 days after the reign began.
For Thiel this was its 2nd shot at the belt; it had never held the belt. It still hasn’t: 2 attempts in all, every one of them a loss or a tie.
This is the only time Thiel and Washington & Jefferson have met with the belt on the line.
