1906 game – from the University of Kentucky archives:
W. B. Wendt on Jan. 9, 1969, verified that State College (now the University of Kentucky) opened the 1906 season against Kentucky University (now Transylvania University) in the YMCA. Athletic committees of the two schools had cancelled all games after a fight at a football game in November 1905. Wendt and the Kentucky U. manager agreed to play at the YMCA and list the State College foe as YMCA instead of Kentucky U. State College won but Mr. Wendt didn’t remember the score, which he hadn’t listed.
*Except for missing score from the 1906 game
