Please title this page. (HISTORYOFFOOTBALL.html) In 1876 Yale, Princeton, Harvard, and Columbia established the Intercollegiate Football Association, which set the size of the field at 140 by 70 yards and the number of players on a team at 15. Organized football began earlier in high schools than in colleges, with games on the Boston Common starting in about 1860. In 1871 Harvard students began playing the so-called "Boston Game," which included elements of rugby (the player could pick up the ball and, if pursued, run with it) and soccer (kicking a round ball was still essential). members.aol.com /Lrtrack/HISTORYOFFOOTBALL.html   (323 words)

USA - An Overview of American Soccer History The league even used The American League of Professional Football had six teams from major Northeastern cities, and made its 1894 debut with much fanfare, but attendance was low after the first week, partially to the scheduling of too many weekday games, and some managers used less than ethical measures to procure overseas players.

This game used the London Football Association's 1863 rules which called for, among other things, 25 players, a field 110 meters x 70 meters, a 24 foot wide goal, movement of the ball allowed with all parts of the body (including hands, ball could be batted or held, but not carried or thrown). www.rsssf.com /usadave/am-soc-overview.html   (1405 words)

The Boston Game, developed by the Oneidas, was favored by the Crimson for its class games.
