The team played its home games at Eastern Park in Brooklyn and compiled an 8–2–1 record and claimed the AFU championship.
Crescent was scheduled to play the Orange Athletic Club for the AFU championship on November 16, but Orange objected to Phil King playing for the Crescents on grounds that he had previously been paid to coach for Princeton and was therefore not an amateur.
On the date set for the game, the Crescents appeared on the field without an opponent, ran one play for a touchdown, and claimed a disputed UFA championship.
[3][4] W. D. Hotchkiss, a former player at Williams College, was the team captain and played at the center position.
Other key players included Phil King and Harry Beecher at quarterback, Juan Smith at halfback, and Billy Ohl at fullback.
