  • TIMELINE of YALE FOOTBALL Updated As of February 2018
    TIMELINE OF YALE FOOTBALL Updated as of February 2018 Oct. 31, 1872 David Schley Schaff, Elliot S. Miller, Samuel Elder and other members of the class of 1873 call a meeting of the Yale student body. From it emerges the Yale Football Association, the first formal entity to govern the game at Yale. Schaff is elected president and team captain. Nov. 16, 1872 With faculty approval, Yale meets Columbia, the nearest football-playing college, at Hamilton Park in New Haven. The game is essentially soccer with 20-man sides, played on a field 400 by 250 feet. Yale wins 3-0, Tommy Sherman scoring the first goal and Lew Irwin the other two. Nov. 15, 1873 Yale and Princeton inaugurate what will become Yale’s longest rivalry. Princeton wins 3 goals to 0. Nov. 13, 1875 Yale and Harvard meet for the first time at Hamilton Park. The game is played under the so-called “concessionary rules”—15 players on a side and running with the ball permitted as in rugby, a round ball and only goals counting as in soccer. A crowd of 2,000 pays 50 cents a head—twice the normal price for a Yale game—to watch Harvard win 4-0. 1880 Walter Camp, in his third year as Yale’s delegate at the Intercollegiate Football Association rules convention, persuades the meeting to accept 11-man, rather than 15-man, sides. He also replaces rugby’s scrum with the scrimmage, which “takes place when the holder of the ball…puts it down on the ground in front of him and puts it in play by snapping it back with his foot.” Nov.

  • 4.13.21 Teti Podcast Transcript with A.Lawrence 2. C Layout 1
    On Tax—Alyson Lawrence of Johnson & Johnson Len Teti: Welcome to On Tax – A Cravath Podcast. I’m Len Teti, a partner in the Tax Department of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, a premier U.S. law firm based in New York City. On each episode of On Tax, I talk to professionals in the Cravath network about their life and work in the world of tax. We focus on the human side of tax law, highlighting the people, connections and stories that make the space such a fascinating and dynamic area of practice. I hope you enjoy this episode. On this episode, we’ll talk to Alyson Lawrence of Johnson & Johnson. Alyson will tell us how she’s the third- generation tax professional in her family. She’ll also tell us about her family’s 50-year history of holding season tickets for the Philadelphia Eagles, and she’ll tell us where she was in 2018, when the Eagles won Super Bowl LII. Alyson, welcome to the podcast and thank you for joining us. Alyson Lawrence: Thanks for having me, Len. Len: You’re welcome. So, Alyson, tell us about how you came to the tax world. Tell us about your background in tax. Alyson: Yeah. I think it’s interesting—I’m probably an atypical tax person in that I think I was born to be a tax lawyer, and that’s a very strange thing to be. I am a third-generation CPA. I was an accounting major undergrad, and when I was in college, I took a tax class as part of my accounting major, and I definitely knew from that moment that I was interested in tax and not traditional audit path.

  • What's the Big Deal with College Football?
    What's the Big Deal With College Football? By Michael T. Benson What exactly is the allure of a fall afternoon, a rivalry game, a packed stadium, and grown men running headlong into each other at full speed? Given the successes of Coach Urban Meyer and his squad at the University of Utah, this year finds our state particularly engrossed in the spectacle known as college football. I’m always struck - especially at this season - by the enormous attention paid to the largest spectator sport in collegiate athletics. My fascination is mirrored by another unique phenomenon: nearly all of America’s great universities are - or once were - prominent in football. A quick glance at this week’s Top 25 rankings includes some of our country’s finest public institutions: Michigan, Cal-Berkeley, Wisconsin, Texas, and Virginia. Some might argue that Utah - with its advances in federally- funded research, its highly-ranked medical facilities, and its accomplished faculty, to name just a few indicators - should be included in that category as well. Douglas Toma of the University of Pennsylvania, in his thought-provoking Football U, attempts to define the powerful galvanizing force that is college football. While baseball may be considered America’s pastime, football - both collegiate and professional - has captured our nation’s attention and devotion in a manner unrivaled by any other team sport. The National Football League’s television contracts for coverage of its games exceed those of baseball, basketball, and hockey - combined. Despite the unmatched excitement of March Madness and the NCAA Basketball Tournament, can anyone argue that this year’s BYU- Utah contest wasn’t the biggest sporting event in our state since the 2002 Winter Olympics? And who can resist the hold-your-breath excitement of the black box mystery and its inner workings known as the BCS computer rankings? Well, maybe some can.
