Conshohocken Athletic Club
American football team
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Conshohocken Athletic Club was a professional football team based in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, from 1914 until 1920, when the club's financial problems made it impossible to field a team. In the fall of 1921, the newly established Conshohocken Athletic Association took over sponsorship of the team. The new Association was formed as a community-based organization with the purpose of promoting and supporting outdoor athletics and had the full support of Conshohocken Athletic Club.
