The Sears Cup was established in 1993
to honor institutions that maintain a broad-based athletic
program, achieving success in many sports, both men’s and
women’s. In the years following its Division III inception in
1995, the cup was won by Williams College 15 of 17 years.
Why did the football team win so much? Was it because
they were heavier than their opponents? The data gives the
average team weights for selected years from 1973 to 1993.
