The Stevens Institute also operated a second team known as the Crickets, who joined the American Football Union for their inaugural 1886 season. The Crickets compiled a 4–1 record against their opponents in the American Football Union (Their official AFU record would be 3–0, as the Brooklyn Hill contest on October 10 was before the AFU championship series began and November 6 match against the Staten Island Football Club was declared off by the AFU Executive Committee because of poor officiating), and that was enough to crown them Union champions for the season, and to receive the AFU championship pennant in January of the next year.
