Notes

  1. ^ Penn State protested this result on account of alleged cheating by the referee, a Columbia AC member. According to the school newspaper, "though the score as sent out from Washington was 12–6 in favor of C. A. C., all fair-minded people and lovers of foot ball will give it to us 6–0. And so we will always record it."[2] The school yearbook likewise listed the result as a 6–0 Penn State victory;[3] however, the game has disappeared from official Penn State records as published in the university's football media guide.[4]
