We played one another pretty regularly from 1899 until 1937 but then didn't play again until 1968. Then we played a handful of games in the 60s, 70s, and 80s and don't really start playing more regularly until expansion.
I have no idea why the series is broken up like that given the proximity of the two schools. Maybe there was some internal dispute between ADs?
