One of the most successful college football clubs in Japan meets one of the oldest football programs in the sport's mother country when Kwansei Gakuin University takes on Princeton University in the Legacy Bowl on Saturday.
The exhibition game at Kincho Stadium in Osaka celebrates the 125th anniversary year for Kwansei Gakuin, whose football team, the Fighters, has won a record of 27 national college titles, including the last four in a row.
Princeton was established in 1746 and its football game against Rutgers on Nov. 6, 1869, is regarded by many as the first American football game ever played.
