The Texans players and assets were moved to Baltimore in 1953, and then to Indianapolis in 1983, where they now operate as the Colts, just 117 miles west of their origin.

The Cadets claimed the title of "World Basketball Champions" by defeating the Buffalo German Ramblers.

They also won the Southern Ohio Championship by defeating the Cincinnati Celts 27–0 at Redland Park.

Carl Storck, who later served as treasurer of the NFL and as acting league president from 1939 to 1941, co-sponsored the Dayton Cadets and used players recruited from the three factories to fill out the team roster.

The Canton Bulldogs, with the legendary Jim Thorpe in the line-up, claimed the "Ohio League" Championship after their win over the Massillon Tigers.

While the Triangles lost players to military service, they also had many kept home with regular jobs in industries deemed essential to the war effort and, along with the few other teams still playing, far less competition for the talent pool.

The Triangle player-coach that season was Earle "Greasy" Neale, since Bud Talbott joined the army.

During their championship run, the Triangles defeated future NFL teams, the Toledo Maroons, Hammond Pros, Columbus Panhandles and Detroit Heralds.

At the first meetings held on August 20, 1920, and September 17, 1920, at Ralph Hay's Hupmobile dealership located in Canton, Ohio, the Triangles were represented by their manager Carl Storck as they became charter members of the new league called the American Professional Football Association (APFA), until 1922 when it was renamed the National Football League.

Soon, the combination of poor home gates and the lure of $2,500 guarantees to play at larger venues (like Wrigley Field, Comiskey Park and the Polo Grounds), made the Triangles primarily a traveling team.

Also around this time, the NFL began shaking off its roots in the mid-sized Midwestern cities that had been the heartland of pro football in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Depler became the Dodgers' head coach, and stocked the roster with players from the NFL's Orange Tornadoes, where he had previously been player-coach.

Due to numerous transactions over the years, the Triangles have a tenuous connection to a current NFL franchise, the Indianapolis Colts.

As part of the deal, the new Colts were awarded the remains of the Texans organization, including their player contracts.

Like the football team, they took their name from the same city park and played an important role in development of soccer in the Miami Valley.
