Paulmcdonald/Smith Alford

Smith Alford was the fourth head college football coach for the Geneva College Golden Tornadoes located in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania and he held that position for the 1904 season. His coaching record at Geneva was 1 wins, 4 losses, and 2 ties. As of completion of the 2007 season, this ranks him 27th at Geneva in total wins and 26th at Geneva in winning percentage (0.286). [1] During his time as coach, Geneva played (and lost) games against Penn State and Pittsburgh,[2] losing 0-30 to an undefeated Pitt team [3] and later in the season 0 -44 to Penn State.[4]

The season was considered especially disapointing by fans, considering the previous three-year coach J.B. Craig had posted a total record of 26-3-3.[5]
