Notes

  1. Game ended with a disputed touchdown by Pittsburgh College. The Pittsburgh Gazette and Post said the game was awarded to the College, 6–0; the Press reported that the game ended scoreless. Duquesne University claims a win (with score "n/a") in its record book.
  2. Game ended in dispute, with Crafton claiming a 0–0 tie.
  3. The team that played W.U.P. on this day played under the name of "Manchester Athletic Club" but used players mainly from Pittsburgh College.[6] Duquesne University counts the game as its own,[1] while the University of Pittsburgh lists its opponent that day as Manchester A.C. and does not count the game toward its all-time record vs. Duquesne.[7]
  4. Also called "Bluff field", from the campus and its field being situated on The Bluff.
