Trophy Case

The tradition of awarding interhall football champions goes back almost as far as the sport itself. The first verified honors were bestowed on Corby Hall in 1909 in the form of a championship pennant. Since then, many iterations of an interhall trophy were awarded to champions from the 1910s to the 1950s. But by 1963, focus had shifted from a team trophy to individual Notre Dame letterman's jackets, a practice that continued into the present day.
