Penn's Ivy League football history stretches back 125 years and covers 1,200-plus games, more than any other school in America. This trio of tradition-filled "Trophy" pigskins is etched with the scores of three Quaker contests back when venerable Franklin Field was young, are among the program's oldest and proudest mementos. A speckled dark and light brown football reads "Penn 7, Cornell 2, Nov. 28th, '12." A dark brown football reads "Penn 7, Indians 7, Oct. 25th, '13" in gold and black. Another dark brown ball reads, "Penn 13, Navy 7, Oct. 28th, 1922" in blue and black. The antique balls look they could have squirted from a pileup at midfield.
