The RPI Football Team wound up its season by losing to Union on Saturday, 18-13. The loss means that neither Rensselaer nor Union has successfully defended the Dutchman's Shoes Trophy in the last eight seasons.

RPI had the football with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and a lead, but quarterback Frank Catellier was intercepted on a third down-and-six play, and the resulting Union drive ended in the winning touchdown.

Rensselaer finishes the football season with a 5-4 overall records and a 4-3 record in the Liberty League.
