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.^[7]
