	Gridiron football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gridiron football is a term that refers to both American football and Canadian football.
		The word "gridiron" alone may refer either to the field or to the sport; however, in North America it's usually only used to refer the field.
		In some other English-speaking countries—particularly Australia and New Zealand—it is the primary term used to refer to the sport, differentiating it from other forms of football such as Australian rules football, association football (soccer), or rugby football.

		Rocky Carzo, 72 years old and a few million punts and passes gone by, figures it's time to kick up a little dirt on the sidelines, to be true to both his school and athletic history.
		Carzo, the former Tufts football coach, athletic director, and now AD emeritus, makes a convincing case that the first true link in US college football's evolutionary chain was forged when Tufts squared off against Harvard at 3 p.m, June 4, 1875, on what was then Jarvis Field, just a short stroll north of Harvard Square.
		At issue is the century-plus, nearly universal acknowledgment that Princeton and Rutgers, in their football game of Nov. 6, 1869, established that first link in the evolutionary chain.
