The contest against South Bend High School on October 19 was not considered a varsity match. The game was played by the Notre Dame secondary, also known as the anti-specials team. A varsity team was not established until several weeks later. The result and final score of the game vs Hillsdale is disputed. Newspapers from the time say 8–8 tie, 10–10 tie, and 10–1 Notre Dame Win. Modern Sources say 14–12 Notre Dame Loss.
