1917 University Farm football team
American college football season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1917 University Farm football team represented the University Farmânow known as the University of California, Davisâas an independent during the 1917 college football season. Although "University Farm" was the formal name for the school and team, in many newspaper articles from the time it was called "Davis Farm". The team had no nickname in 1917, with the "Aggie" term being introduced in 1922. The football season was shortened in 1917 due to the onset of World War I. The school did not field a team in 1918.
