Celebrating 150 Years of College Football: Nov. 23, 1876 - Representatives from Columbia, Harvard, Princeton and Yale meet at the Massasoit House in Springfield, Massachusetts, where the first rules of American football are proposed. Walter Camp, the legendary father of American football, is one of the central figures at the gathering. Camp created the line of scrimmage, established the center-to-quarterback snap, developed a system of downs and proposed rules such as 11 players on the field. It would take four more years before all the rules were adopted and American football as we now know @BravesAthletics it would begin to take shape. 2019 Braves Football Did You Know: That Ottawa played its first night game against Bethel College in North Newton.
