Football History The Playing Field and the Ball Playing Time A game of football is divided into four periods, known as quarters, each consisting of 15 minutes of playing time. The first two periods constitute the first half; the second two comprise the second half. Between the halves, a rest period, usually lasting about 15 minutes, is permitted the players, who may leave the field. The teams change halves of the field at the end of each quarter. The clocks stop at the end of each quarter and at certain other times, when particular events occur or when designated by the officials. The Players Protective Equipment To protect themselves from the often violent bodily contact that characterizes football, players wear elaborate equipment, including lightweight plasticized padding covering the thighs, hips, shoulders, knees, and often the forearms and hands. Players also wear plastic helmets with guards that cover most of the face.

Currently the Super Bowl routinely finishes among the all-time top 50 programs in television ratings, and the 1994 game reached an estimated 750 million viewers around the world. Now probably the most important single-day sporting event in the United States, the Super Bowl had more modest beginnings. In 1967 the champions of the American Football League (which merged with the NFL in 1970) and the NFL met in what was called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. The name was later shortened to Super Bowl, named after a child's toy, the Super Ball. In this first game, the Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10. The Los Angeles Coliseum, site of the game, fell far short of a sellout, although tickets were only $10 each. In comparison, the highest ticket price at the 1994 Super Bowl reached $250, with scalpers illegally charging more than twice that much.

FAQ Origins: A Brief Look At Football History In the Beginning Nationalizing the Game Becoming a Popular Sport in America Football Presently This section will provide a quick overview of how football got started to give general knowledge about how the sport became so popular today. In the Beginning The story of football began sometime during the 19th century in England when a soccer player, frustrated at using only his feet to manipulate the ball, decided to simply pick it up and run with it. Although it was clearly against the rules of soccer, other players soon found the new way of playing soccer appealing and thus, the sport of rugby was born. The new sport soon became a world-wide success that found its way into America by the mid-1800s. Played by many northeastern colleges, it was not long before Harvard University and Yale University met in Massachussetts in 1876 to formalize the rules to rugby that were similar to those in England. There were differences however: instead of playing with a round ball, the schools opted for an egg-shaped and the game's name was changed from rugby to football. To finalize the meeting, an organization called the Intercollegiate Football Association(IFA) was created to preside over the Americanized sport.

With printing costs soaring, we’ve changed to making special publications available to members by e-mail. For 2002’s “Members-Only Annual,” we are offering line scores of all games with individual scoring summaries for any four pre-1959 seasons.

American football history HISTORY OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL Football historians, those who have studied the game and its origins, place the game’s beginnings in rugby, an English game played with many similarities to football. Rugby began in eighteen twenty-three at the famous Rugby Boys’ School in England. Another cousin of the game of football is soccer, sometimes called association football; its beginnings can also be traced to English origin, being played as early as the eighteen twenties. bodyOffer(22037) COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ITS BEGINNINGS At the same time, a group of students at Princeton began playing what was then known as ‘ballown’. First using their fists to advance the ball, and then their feet, this game consisted mainly of one goal: to advance the ball past the opposing team. There were no hard and fast rules applied to this earliest attempt at the game we now call football. At Harvard, the freshman and sophomore classes competed in a football-type game, played on the first Monday of each school year; this event came to be known as ‘Bloody Monday’ because of the roughness of the game. Pick up games, similar in style to that played on ‘Bloody Monday’, soon became popular on the Boston Common, catching on in popularity around eighteen sixty. Soon after the end of the American Civil War, around eighteen sixty five, colleges began organizing football games. In eighteen sixty seven, Princeton led the way in establishing some rudimentary rules of the game. Also in that year, the football itself was patented for the very first time.

Index Rule Change Chronology Background of the game Rule Changes of the game The Game The Teams ... Collegiate Awards Background to the game: Before I talk about the games, teams, and players, it is important to understand how the game has changed from the first Intercollegiate game played between Princeton and Rutgers on November 6, 1869 to the games being played today. Initially the game resembled rugby, and as more teams began to play the game, the game itself began to evolve. And as new plays and formations were introduced the game became more violent resulting in more injuries and deaths of athletes. During the period, beginning in 1895 and ending in 1912, the game would undergo such a radical change that the game of football played today would resemble only in spirit the game played before 1912. The rule changes: Click here to see the detailed information Rule Change Chronology From the start of the game till 1908, the number of deaths and injuries from the game rose, peaking in 1908 with 33. This was the driving force behind the changes to the game. From 1905 till 1912 the game completely changed in appearance from the free-for-all rugby style of play to the set play and formation game controlled by the referees.
