Haverford Fords football
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] Haverford no longer has a team. The school ended the football program in 1972.[6]
