Book excerpt: Walter Camp made the development of football--indeed, its very creation--his lifelong mission. From his days as a college athlete, Camp's love of the game and dedication to its future put it on the course that would allow it to seize the passions of the nation. Roger R. Tamte tells the engrossing but forgotten life story of Walter Camp, the man contemporaries called "the father of American football." He charts Camp's leadership as American players moved away from rugby and for the first time tells the story behind the remarkably inventive rule change that, in Camp's own words, was "more important than all the rest of the legislation combined." Trials also emerged, as when disputes over forward passing, the ten-yard first down, and other rules became so public that President Theodore Roosevelt took sides. The resulting political process produced losses for Camp as well as successes, but soon a consensus grew that football needed no new major changes. American football was on its way, but as time passed, Camp's name and defining influence became lost to history. Entertaining and exhaustively researched, Walter Camp and the Creation of American Football weaves the life story of an important sports pioneer with a long-overdue history of the dramatic events that produced the nation's most popular game.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WALTER CAMP THE FATHER 0F AMERICAN FOOTBALL - A BIOGRAPHY by HARFORDJPOWEL, JR. Originally published in 1926. INTRODUCTION BY EDWARD K. HALL Chairman, American Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee: THE writer of this book tells me that he has written it primarily for the schoolboys of America. He has done well to keep them uppermost in his mind, for they had no truer and no more understanding friend than Walter Camp. As a boy himself, he was just naturally all boy, a typical American boy full of spirit and dash, keen for play and competition, and reveling in whole some sport and contest. As a man, he never lost the boys point of view. His interest in boys was unbounded, and his understanding of them was as sympathetic as it was complete. The schoolboys of America have for years regarded Walter Camp as their great friend. They will continue to do so for years to come, and they have a right to. For he has not only given them the greatest of all their sports, American Rugby Football, but has taught them how to play it, and how to keep fit. He has pointed out how these battles of the gridiron help to develop the qualities so essential to success in later life. Above all, he has taught them by both spoken and written word., by precept and example, the finest ideals of American sportsmanship. The American boy who has not read Danny Fists by Walter Camp has missed as much as the English boy who has failed to read Tom Brown s School-Days The Sportsmanship Brotherhood defines the true sportsman as one who Plays the game for his side Keeps to the rules Keeps a stout heart in defeat Keeps faith with his comrades Keeps himself fit Keeps his temper Keeps modest in victory Keeps a sound soul a clean mind, and a healthy body. I have never known a man who exemplified the sportsmans code better than Camp. In almost a lifelong association with him I never heard him speak unkindly either of or to another person and I cannot imagine Walter Camp doing a mean act. More than once I have seen him face the bitterest disappointment with a smile on his face that was a joy to see and with a fortitude that was literally inspiring. Time and again I have watched him and marvelled as he held his temper under conditions that would have tested the temper of a saint. His fairness toward those whose views he opposed and his consideration for the feelings of others were never failing. He was the hard-fighting., clean-hitting, straight shooting type of a sportsman that commands the respect and admiration of his opponents and the affection of his comrades. The American schoolboy will welcome this book as his own. He will be a better sportsman for having read it and he will be a better citizen. He will become better acquainted with his great and good friend Walter Camp who for generations to come will be remembered as one of the finest of Americas sportsmen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 150 years of college football history, the national championship has been decided by unanimous vote only 33 times. This book analyzes the various methods of selecting these champions and what made the teams special. Drawing on archives and early published works, a firsthand description of the 1869 inaugural game between Princeton and Rutgers is provided, along with details of how these earliest teams were managed. The contributions and innovations of Walter Camp, the "Father of Football," are explored, as is the evolution of the game itself. Each unanimous season since the turn of the 20th century--from Yale in 1900 to LSU in 2019--is covered in detail, with a brief history of each school's football program. The question "is there a best ever team" is explored.
