Fordham defends the belt, 6–0, on the road at Holy Cross.
Where this game sits in the lineage
Fordham came in 329 days into reign #63, which began with a win over Bucknell, with 3 defenses already behind it; this was its 4th defense. Fordham went on to defend it 3 more times before Saint Mary's (CA) took it on November 15, 1930, 357 days after the reign began.
For Holy Cross this was its 5th shot at the belt; it had never held the belt. It still hasn’t: 7 attempts in all, every one of them a loss or a tie.
This is the only time Fordham and Holy Cross have met with the belt on the line.
