| * This game has been misidentified in Athletic Department sources, and previously on this site, as being with the Chicago University Club. Contemporary newspaper accounts confirm Chicago Rugby Club is correct. The Chicago Tribune reported that "the Chicago nine, made up mostly of Englishmen, were at a disadvantage from not being conversant with the American rules." A return match in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day was planned but did not occur. | |||||
