1875 Princeton Tigers football team
The 1875 Princeton Tigers football team represented the College of New Jersey, then more commonly known as Princeton College, in the 1875 college football season. The team finished with a 2–0 record. Collins Denny, who later became a notable clergyman and professor of philosophy, was captain of the 1875 team.
On November 13, Princeton defeated Columbia by a 6–2 score. The New York Herald wrote: "The contest was short, sharp and decisive and attracted a considerable crowd."
The team was retroactively named national champion by the Billingsley Report and as co-national champion by Parke H. Davis.
This season marked the last of four consecutive national championships, and one of 11 in a 13-year period between 1869 and 1881.Schedule
