1887 The Century Magazine with Important Football Content

The offered publication is extremely rare and certainly uncommon. Within this copy of The Century Magazine is published a lengthy article on the “new” sport of American Football in 1887. It features 11 pages of rich content and images. It begins by discussing the differences between American Football and the English version. In addition to discussing the different rules, it also talks about the different mindsets, or mental attitudes between the players of both. Later the article touches on Yale, Harvard and Princeton, as the three Universities that were instrumental in elevating the popularity of American Football. The article is just packed with interesting information and facts. A must have for the antique football historian or any collector of vintage football.
