context_page_description: The 1895 Chicago Athletic Association football team represented the Chicago Athletic Association during the 1895 college football season. Under the management of Harry Cornish, the AA's athletic manager since 1893, the CAA went 9–3–1 against its opponents, along with another exhibition win over the Swift & Co Stock Yarders at the beginning of the season. Not including this game, the CAA outscored its opponents 214 to 52, and had an undefeated record at home. CAA played its home games at CAA Field, located on the corner of 35th Street and Wentworth Avenue, in Chicago.
context_section_description: Chicago AA defeated the Swift & Co. Stock Yarders 28 to 0 at their own CAA field.  The game was an exhibition for the coming season, and so the Stock Yarders were given a chance to continue playing many times after fumbles and turnovers.  CAA played well, scoring six touchdowns, although there was an instance where Thompson, playing left tackle, accidentally tackled Captain Camp, confusing him for a Stock-Yard player, and consequentially stopped a sure touchdown for the AA.
  September 16: A game is arranged with Chicago University for the twenty-eighth of September at Marshall Field.  It was dubbed as the first real contest for each team.
  September 18: The Armour Institute of Technology released their schedule for 1895, and they were set to play the CAA on October 16.
  September 21: Englewood YMCA didn't show up for their match with Chicago AA.  The team instead played against itself, with some additional players from Swift & Co.  The "regulars" won 4–0 in a 30-minute contest.
