1920 Kent State Silver Foxes football team

In its first season of intercollegiate football, the team compiled a 1–2 record with the sole victory coming by way of a forfeit.

[3] A football team had not been fielded earlier due in part to the fact that few men were enrolled at the school.

When they found men ready to win their ardor cooled and they went home without playing the game.

[5]The Chestnut Burr also described the excitement on campus prior to the first home game against Bowling Green:Probably the most remarkable campaign by the girls was the snake dance throughout the town, one cold, crisp evening before the game with Bowling Green.

In and out of shops and movies the screaming and jolly line ran, bellowing forth our yells and songs, which in no small way interpreted our deep loyalty and fighting spirit for K. S. N. C. We did not win the next day but we played fair and square which is really the true test of athletics.
