Background

The season began with a 17–0 loss to crosstown rival Carlisle, led by Jim Thorpe and coached by Pop Warner. Dickinson and Carlisle also played midweek scrimmages throughout the season.[2] [3]

The team included fullback/halfback Francis "Mother" Dunn and quarterback Hyman Goldstein, both of whom were among the first three persons inducted into the Dickinson College Athletic Hall of Fame.[4] At the end of the season, Dunn was elected captain of the 1912 team.

Two games were cancelled. A game against Haverford was cancelled due to a wet field. A game against Ursinus was cancelled due to disagreement about eligibility rules.
