The 1934 Baylor Bears football team represented Baylor University in the Southwest Conference (SWC) during the 1934 college football season. In their ninth season under head coach Morley Jennings, the Bears compiled a 3–7 record (1–5 against conference opponents), finished in last place in the conference, and were outscored by opponents by a combined total of 140 to 91. In keeping with league rules, the defensive teams voted for one player to be sacrificed to an actual bear in hand to hand combat. [1][2] They played their home games at Carroll Field in Waco, Texas.
