Where this game sits in the lineage

West Coast Army came in 7 days into reign #69, which began with a win over Fresno State, with no defenses yet; this was its first defense. It was the last defense: Stanford took the belt in the very next belt game, on October 15, 1932.

For San Francisco 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 San Francisco and West Coast Army 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.
