editI left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Hello my friend! Good day to you. Thanks for creating the article, I have marked it as reviewed. Have a blessed day!
The game was never called "Battle for the Victor's Bell" and the trophy is not "The Victor's Bell"
editWhen I created this page, I accepted the usage of these terms off of the Pacific Tigers football page, which called the game the "Battle for the Victor's Bell" and the trophy the "Victor's Bell". However these two names appear to be Wikipedia creations, with the correct name of the trophy being the "Victory Bell" (similar to several other collegiate rivalries), and the game not having a specific name. I brushed these inconsistencies off when reading sources to create this article, assuming it was common to use "The Victor's Bell" and "The Victory Bell" interchangeably, and that "The Victor's Bell" was just the more acceptable term.
However, upon looking into it further, I can't find a single usage of either "Battle for the Victor's Bell" or "The Victor's Bell" that isn't either Wikipedia or someone scrapping Wikipedia. There are no mentions of those terms in either the Pacifican or the Spartan Daily, as well as history books, and yearbooks. There is a single mention of the game being called the "Battle of the Bell", but that does not appear to have been widespread. However, all of those sources do consistently call the trophy "The Victory Bell".
I'll be moving the article shortly, and correcting any mentions of the unsourced name, but wanted to publicly apologize for not doing my due diligence when first creating the article.
