Locations of Johns Hopkins and McDaniel

One of the oldest rivalry games in American college football, dating back to 1894, the McDaniel-Hopkins game has been played annually since 1947.

History

For many decades the best college football team in Maryland would get a trophy. Up until 1942 Maryland and Western Maryland were the biggest rivalry in the state. After World War II, Western Maryland college decided to no longer play against larger schools and instead play what is considered to be its "natural rivals." In 1947, Western Maryland and Johns Hopkins began the tradition of having the last game of the regular season be played against each other. Starting in 1946 both schools joined the Mason–Dixon Conference have always continued to be in the same conference together for football.

The origin of the Maryland Railroad Lantern Trophy is traced back to Vincent Chesney, a alumni of McDaniel College. He recognized the history of the rivalry that lacked a trophy and wanted to honor that rivalry as his brother Bob Chesney was associate head coach at Johns Hopkins. The trophy was first awarded in 2009.
