It was a predecessor to the later Japanese Super Cup, which began to be played in 1977, by which time the university teams had ceased to be viable contenders to the Emperor's Cup.http://kisch.on.coocan.jp/football/cup/e047.html#NHK NHK Cup New Year Soccer January 1, 1968 Toyo Industries 1 – 0 Kansai University National Stadium, Tokyo References first 1967 1 Jap Jap
