The 190405 team is considered by some to be the first organized collegiate national championship to be won by a program. [2] [3] The team would continue their early 20th century success before winning the ISFA titles in 1906, 1907, 1911 and 1918. [4] [5] In 1924, the program won the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Association Football League season.
