In its schedule for the 1915 University of Detroit football team, College Football Data Warehouse erroneously included an undated game against Hutchinson Central High School from Buffalo, New York.[1] However, the Detroit Free Press for October 17, 1915, at page 23, shows that the game against Hutchinson was played on October 16 at Elmwood Field by the "Detroit University School", a high school team in Detroit, not by the University of Detroit. In fact, the University of Detroit team played a game against Olivet College at Mack Park on the same afternoon.[2]
