The history of football and soccer are more correlated than even the most dedicated football fans. Yale football has been around since the beginning of the football and NFL stadiums in many ways that the Yale football program is responsible for the current game that is played at a high school fields on Friday evening and on Sunday. While many people are aware that football is a modern adaptation of the game rugby (what's interesting is that an adjustment of a similar game played by the ancient Greeks), few people realize how the European centric game of the nineteenth century converted into the pond will ultimately be what is by many measures the most popular sport in America.
In the middle of the 19th century rugby was a popular pastime for many of the New England area based college campuses, which later became known as members of the Ivy League (a distinction is made as the recently in 1954). Chief among the lovers of Rugby were students at Yale, Harvard, Princeton, whose taste for the game is a direct result of the large number of apprentices was English schools to enroll in this American institutions with strong ties to the United Kingdom had received.
The large scale credited with the revolutionary modern American football is man is Walter Camp, a Connecticut born Yale alum, who by the age of only 33 had already taken over the title of the "father of the American soccer."Camp was a 1880 graduated from Yale University and would go on to serve as the head coach at Yale of 1888-1891, before moving to the West Coast to serve as the first coach at Stanford University.
Camp took the head coaching position at Stanford in the second season of the Stanford school after their inaugural 1891 season played without a head coach.
Without many of the rules that Walter Camp developed at Yale football game would be unrecognizable.Among the many influential adjustment credited to Camp are innovations that include:
Downs, i.e. 1 down down, 2nd, 3rd and 4th down, downPoint system (six points for touchdowns, 3 points for field goals, etc.).The soccer ball from the Center to the quarterback snapping the current and often confusing line that teams have seven men on the line of scrimmage (including receivers) inventing the security and the decision to these two points by a number of accounts until the invention of the forward (a controversial subject)
In addition to inventing the rules that America would form the twenty-first century pastime Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut is the birthplace of many of the most moving traditions of college football including the oldest rivalry (Harvard vs. Yale began in 1875-Yale leads the series), the first mascot live college (Yale bulldog Handsome Than), and the first Bowl Stadium (Yale Bowl), who served as an inspiration for later bowls such as the famous Rose Bowl. the terms come game and Super Bowl title both result from the Rose Bowl Stadium (home of the first post-season college football game), which as I said, the name and the design of the Yale Bowl.
Perhaps the most fascinating about the history of football that relates to the Yale football that if you would have asked most Yale students at the beginning of the 19th century event that had more potential in terms of popularity and football debate between the overwhelming response would have stated that debate would be the most popular of the two games. long before it was ESPN debate contest results took the front page and cheers of crowds of noisy if they justified their teams sent to rival schools debate. promotion of the argument that football debate in terms of popularity would surpass, it was inevitable fact that on the football time near eradication due to uncontrolled nature of serious injury.
We all know how the power struggle between debate games and football matches turned out to be and as a result of reading this piece in the history of football that relates to the Yale football readers hopefully now have a better understanding of how the game so many lives (and advertising dollars on the Super Bowl Sunday) influence came to be.
Sam loves nothing more than imagining what the pioneers of the football as Walter Camp say it would if he could see the game today. Sam keeps the memory of Camp on his computer, depicting the earliest days of football live with images of the wallpaper of Yale University.
Sam wants to all football fans (1) this article to another fan who will find equally interesting and (2) check out his website for pictures of Yale University wallpaper desktop options, and any other school which may be a reader favorite.
