The history of football in America is tied directly to Princeton University. Though played under different rules and with a round ball, the first college football game was held between Princeton University and Rutgers University in 1869. The prestige of both schools led to the eventual rise in popularity of the sport that is now a staple of collegiate athletics. This book looks at how football became a powerhouse sport in the U.S. and specifically how the Princeton football program played a role.
