The game has been on the
4th or 5th Saturday of November in:
- 1918* (5th Saturday)
- 1935
- 1939-1941
- 1944-1947
- 1950-1952
- 1956-1958
- 1961-1963* (5th Saturday in '63)
- 1967-1969
- 1972-1975
- 1978
- 1980
- 1985-1986
- 1989-1991
- 1995-1997
- 2001-2003
The idea of it being always on the 3rd Saturday is a myth. The "3rd Saturday" actually applies to the month of October and to a much less significant rivalry.
