Case snapped a 13-game win streak of Oberlin, whose win streak dated back to their undefeated 1892 season. Notably, Case defeated Coach John Heisman of Buchtel, handing him his first ever career coaching loss, who ironically was the coach of the undefeated 1892 Oberlin team the prior season.

Charley Gleason was the star halfback, who also previously played on the 1889 Georgetown football team.[3] Captain Alva C. Smith played quarterback.
