Camp Crane, a temporary Army encampment located just outside Allentown, Pennsylvania, served as the training and mobilization station for the US Army Ambulance Corps during World War I. As part of the facility's athletic program, the Ambulance Corps sponsored a successful football team, popularly known by the acronym "USAASCS" during the autumns of 1917 and 1918.
