Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY VOLUME LXV APRIL, 1941 NUMBER TWO Some Qree\T(evival Architects of Philadelphia HILADELPHIA saw alike the birth and the death of Greek Revival architecture in America: its birth in the Bank of Penn- Psylvania, which Latrobe designed in the spring of 17985 its death—or should one say its final swan song?—in the Ridgeway Branch of the Library Company, designed in the 1870's by Addison Hutton, far out on South Broad Street. And, in the years between, several of the most important Greek Revival architects in the coun- try established their homes in Philadelphia, found there a most profitable field for their activity, and designed for it some of the most remarkable of its buildings. Latrobe, Mills, Strickland, Havi- land, and Walter all contributed much to the appearance of the growing city, and in the work of all, whether it was strictly Greek or not, the ideals of the new architectural movement were enshrined. It is not strange that this should have been the case. Philadelphia was, in the early years of the Republic, the undoubted metropolis of the country. It was, in its own characteristic staid way, the center of culture and of art. Boston was still, in architecture, largely under the sway of English late-Georgian inspiration, so beautifully re-created in New England in the domestic work of Bulfinch, the exquisite 121 122 TALBOT HAMLIN April interiors of Mclntire, and the early handbooks of Asher Benjamin. New York, struggling out of the devastation caused by the long British occupation, was still dominated by the transitional work of John McComb, Jr., the Mangins, and such architects as Josiah Brady and the young Martin Thompson; Greek forms were not to become popular there till the later 1820's.

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.

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.

American Baseball, Football, Stadium History .Pdf
A. Mostly Eastern Football and baseball developed gradually from European forebears in the 19th century; basketball, however, was invented in Springfield, MA in 1891. Baseball and football evolved along different paths. Many baseball rules were set by 1850, and recognizable baseball games were played in the 1840s and 50s. Entrepreneurs fenced in fields in order to charge admission to ball games, beginning in 1862. Overhand pitching wasn’t fully legal until 1884, a generation before a restricted version of the forward pass became legal in football. 1869 was a special year for both sports. The Cincinnati Red Stockings, with ten salaried players, compiled an amazing 58-0-1 record in 1869 and went on tour. They visited the White House, and came to California on the new transcontinental railroad to play six games in September and October 1869. Two thousand people welcomed them in San Francisco. They didn’t come to LA, which had no rail access until 1876. The team disbanded after the 1870 season. About half of them moved to Boston with manager Harry Wright in 1871, and became the Boston Red Stockings. They later became the Boston Braves, they were not the ancestors of the Boston Red Sox team, which formed in 1901 and took on the Red Sox name in 1908. The Atlanta Braves are their descendants today. Just to confuse you, the Cincinnati Reds also claim the Red Stockings as ancestors. You’d understand the 1869 game, although pitchers threw underhanded. The teams had nine positions, but note that right fielder Gerald Ellard also made the team’s baseballs.
