The Haverford–Swarthmore rivalry is a rivalry between the Haverford Fords and Swarthmore Garnet Tide. It used to include college football.[1][2] In other sports they are both members of the Centennial Conference. The 1894 football game between Haverford and Swarthmore claims to have the first "action shot" photograph of a college football game.[3] The winner of the contest was awarded the Hood Trophy.[4] The two universities are in the same state of Pennsylvania.
