 Here is an 1886 Tiffany and Co. Sterling Silver trophy given to Knowlton “Snake” Ames.  On one side is engraved Prize and the other Cup.  According to the Dec. 3rd 1886 Princetonian, Ames won the cup offered to the member of the eleven who scored the most touchdowns in championship games with seven total.  

Ames was a four year starter at Princeton and became a member of the inaugural All American class his senior year in 1889.  He also went on to play for the Chicago Athletic Club.  He coached for 3 seasons at Northwestern and Purdue.  He was undefeated at Purdue.  He was later named to the college football hall of fame.
