Where this game sits in the lineage
Lehigh came in 7 days into reign #50, which began with a win over West Virginia Wesleyan, with no defenses yet; this was its first defense. It was the last defense: Muhlenberg took the belt in the very next belt game, on October 31, 1925.
For Rutgers this was its 16th shot at the belt; it had held the belt once before.
This is the only time Lehigh and Rutgers have met with the belt on the line.
