1895 Dartmouth football team
American college football season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1895 Dartmouth football team represented Dartmouth College as a member of the Triangular Football League during the 1895 college football season. Head coach William Wurtenburg scheduled a 13-game season for 1895, a still-standing record at Dartmouth for most games played in a single year.[1] The team compiled an overall record of 7â5â1 with a mark of 2â0 in TFL play, winning the league title. The season began with a 50â0 shutout of Phillips Exeter Academy, which was followed by a close game with Harvard. The match was hard-fought; Harvard won by a slim 4â0 margin, the closest that a Dartmouth team had gotten to beating Harvard.[2] The squad then played three smaller colleges, winning two of the games and tying the other. The team then went back-and-forth between losing and winning, falling twice to Yale and once to West Point, but defeating MIT and Boston University. Conference opponents Williams and Amherst were defeated by a combined score of 30â5, and the team was awarded its third straight Triangular Football League championship. The season ended on a negative note, however, with a close 10â4 loss to Brown.[3][4]
