TOUCH DOWN! - The Tt,lane Football Magazine and Official Game Program PAGE 3 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON COLLEGEFOOTBALL'S CENTENNIAL One hundred years ago the first intercollegiate football game was played in the United States. Since that November day when students from P r inceton and Rutgers began it all, the game has thrilled generations of Americans as playe r s and spectators. During its first hundred years, football has become more than a game. It has become a familiar and beloved part of American life and has provided an opportunity for young boys to first learn the di .scipline and rewards of teamwork . The boundaries of the one-hundred-yard field mark a special place for most Americans; a place in which are born legends of great skill, endurance and courage. I have always loved football. I consider the time I spent as a member of a college football squad as one of the most rewarding periods of my life. I discovered there- -mostly from that unique, if often frustrating, vantage point offered by the bench- -that football is a game which engages the skills and talents of the whole man, his spiritual as well as his physical endurance, his mental attitude as well as his emotional conditioning. My congratulations go to intercollegiate football--and to all those who play the game, whether it be on a make-shift field or in the great stadiums- - on its one hundredth birthday. It is a game which not only has thrilled generations of Americans but has also helped to develop qualities of sportsmanship and competitiveness in those generations .
