The Haverford Fords football team represented Haverford College in college football. The team started in 1879, just the third school in Pennsylvania to field a football team. [1] [2] The team was rivals with Swarthmore. [3] [4]

The 1894 game claims to have the first "action shot" photograph of a game. [5] College athletic director James Babbitt was an important figure in the 1905 rules negotiations that brought the forward pass, 10-yard first down and other innovations into the game. [6]

Haverford no longer has a team. The school ended the football program in 1972, after only 9 players joined the team of the expected 30, an insufficient number to field a team. This resulted in the cancellation of all eight games scheduled for the 1972 season. [7] [8]
