Victory Bell (Santa Clara-St. Mary's)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The football rivalry between Santa Clara University and St. Mary's College also had a Victory Bell as its trophy. Reputedly taken from a liberty ship, the bell was used as a trophy for the "Little Big Game" from 1947 until Santa Clara dropped football in 1992. Although St. Mary's won the final game, the bell disappeared and was not recovered until 1999.
