The 'first' game of
American football, it
has been claimed that
Rutgers University and
Princeton University
played the first game of
college football on Nov.
6, 1869 in New
Brunswick, New Jersey,
won by Rutgers 6-4.
However, the viewpoint
that this particular
game marks the beginning
of American football is
contested.
 If
one must require that
there be a starting
point, or "first" game,
of American football
between two American
teams, that distinction
would have to go to the
contest played between
Tufts University and
Harvard University on
June 4, 1875 at Jarvis
Field in Cambridge,
Mass., won by Tufts 1-0.
Jarvis Field was at the
time located off
Massachusetts Avenue in
Cambridge, between
Everett, Jarvis and
Oxford Sts. which
bordered the northern
point of the Harvard
campus. A report of the
outcome of this game
appeared in the Boston
Daily Globe of June 5,
1875. In the
Tufts/Harvard game
participants were
allowed to pick up the
ball and run with it,
each side fielded eleven
men, the ball carrier
was stopped by knocking
him down or "tackling"
him, and the inflated
ball was egg-shaped -
the combination of which
far more closely
resembles the modern
American football game
than the games of other
"firsts". Thus, the
Harvard/Tufts game may
be regarded as the
beginning of football
between two American
colleges. Source:

CoolTrip
A couple of the Cahaba
Creative team members
were lucky enough to
take a trip through
Montana and the Canadian
Rockies. From
Glacier National
Park, to
Waterton, to
Banff, to
Jasper, to
Kootenay, the view,
wildlife, and quality of
air were all amazing.
Six bears were spotted -
three black bears and a
grizzly mom and her two
cubs. Trails were
hiked, mountains were
observed in awe.
If you ever have a
chance to visit this
area, it is well worth
the cost and travel.
Make sure to pack your
hiking boots!
Just a sampling of the
pictures from the trip:
