Lincoln Football Trophy

The rivalry between Gettysburg and Franklin & Marshall dates back to 1890, and the two teams have met 101 times on the football field with Gettysburg holding a slight advantage at 48-46-7.  Since 2014, they have played for the Lincoln Football Trophy.  This trophy is carved in the shape of the former President's hat, and was created out of two "witness trees" that stood during the Battle of Gettysburg back in July, 1863.  Found inside one of the trees was a bullet from the battle.  The relic has been safely sealed within the award.
