Tufts Jumbos football
The Tufts Jumbos represent Tufts University of Medford, Massachusetts in the sport of college football. The team has played since the 1874–75 season.[3][4][5] The Tufts football team played its first game on June 4, 1875 against Harvard, which Tufts won by a score of 1–0. This game is considered the first game of American football between two American colleges, with each team fielding 11 men, the ball being advanced by kicking or carrying it, and tackles of the ball carrier stopping play.[6] The Jumbos compete at the NCAA Division III level and have been members of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) since the conference's formation in 1971. The football team plays its home game at Ellis Oval on the Tufts campus in Medford. Jay Civetti has been the team's head coach since 2011. One Tufts player, William Grinnell, has been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
