They played in two official APFA games.[2] They played against the Decatur Staleys and Chicago Cardinals.[3][4] They played in seven games total, and had a 2-5 record.[3] In 2017, there was a throwback game to celebrate football history that had the Universal Tractors play the Rock Island Independents.[5][6][7]
