THE BIRTHPLACE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALLRutgers 6 Princeton 4

College Field, New Brunswick, NJRutgers University and its neighbor, Princeton, played the first game

of intercollegiate football on Nov. 6, 1869, on a plot of ground where the pres-ent-day Rutgers gymnasium now stands in New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers wonthat first game, 6-4.

The game was played with two teams of 25 men each under rugby-like rules, but like modern football, it was “replete with surprise, strategy,prodigies of determination, and physical prowess,” to use the words of one ofthe Rutgers players. Each score counted as a “game” and 10 games completedthe contest. Following each score, the teams changed direction. The ball couldbe advanced only by kicking or batting it with the feet, hands, heads or sides.
