Where this game sits in the lineage
Washington & Jefferson came in 357 days into reign #57, which began with a win over Carnegie Mellon, with 6 defenses already behind it; this was its 7th defense. It was the last defense: Duquesne took the belt in the very next belt game, on October 13, 1928.
For Waynesburg this was its 2nd shot at the belt; it had never held the belt. It still hasn’t: 3 attempts in all, every one of them a loss or a tie.
This is the only time Washington & Jefferson and Waynesburg have met with the belt on the line.
