@ MisterCake: The Butler football media guide ( here) indicates the school's football program began with the 1887 season. Do we know whether or not this was an official Butler team? Cbl62 ( talk) 03:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC) reply

I don't but I figured it was and will see if I can look more into it. It's not unheard of to have an ancient game before the program really kicks off. Centre comes to mind. Cake ( talk) 04:47, 23 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Wabash certainly thinks it's the same Butler. Cake ( talk) 00:19, 24 May 2020 (UTC) reply
