MEMPHIS - Rhodes College football will host the Orgill Cup, the oldest rivalry in the South. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Crain Field. 

This year is the 90th game between Rhodes and Sewanee. The All-Time record is currently tied up 43-43-3.
The intense football rivalry of Rhodes-Sewanee dates back to 1899, but since 1954, the two Tennessee schools have battled each fall for possession of the Edmund Orgill Trophy.

Edmund Orgill (1899-1983), who was ironically born the year the cross-state rivalry began, had close ties to both schools. He was Chairman of the Board of Regents at Southwestern and the chairman of the Board of Regents at Sewanee. A 1920 graduate of Virginia, Mr. Orgill received honorary degrees from Rhodes and Sewanee in 1954. He was then elected mayor of Memphis in 1956. 
The Lynx won the inaugural game in November of 1954 at home 32-19. In Orgill Cup history, Rhodes holds a 38-29-1 lead over Sewanee. When Southwestern changed to Rhodes in 1984, it sparked a six-game win streak over Sewanee. Since that year, Rhodes is 28-9-1 in the series and has won the last 9 out of 10 games against the Tigers.

Enscription - The Edmund Orgill Trophy is presented annually by Southwestern Memphis and the University of the South at Sewanee to the winner of each year's football game as evidence of their esteem for and gratitude to a man whose benefactions to them are measureless. Initiated on November 13, 1954.
