English: Photo of the 1896 Lafayette College football team from "The Lafayette", January 15, 1897 (The date on Page 1 actually reads January 15, 1896, but the newspaper recounts the 1896 football season, so someone obviously forgot to change the type at the beginning of the new year).
This Lafayette team was named a co-national champion by its own coach, Parke H. Davis, more than 30 years later, when Davis was a renowned football historian.
