I apologize for this being about a month old, but I only found the Tweet tonight.
Back in June, a Twitter user by the name of ‘Collegiatestdms’ claimed to have been cleaning out building on the Penn State and discovered the Spalding Trophy, which was given to the winner of the Pitt-Penn State football game from 1908-1915.
There appears to have been two separate Spalding Trophies made for the winner, with the trophy in question being the first one. This link is from a 1910 student newspaper clipping that shows what it looked like before it deteriorated.
The user says it is now in an archive room, which I’m assuming is on PSU’s campus. Does @CrazyPaco @Chris Peak or anyone else have any additional information on this trophy? Perhaps why they stopped issuing it or where it’s appeared over the years?
