Halfback Harold Weekes was the team captain.[2] He also received second-team honors from Caspar Whitney on the 1902 All-America team.[3]

Columbia's sports teams were commonly called the "Blue and White" in this era, but had no official nickname. The name "Lions" would not be adopted until 1910.[4]

The team played its seven home games at the Polo Grounds in Upper Manhattan.
