This book is written for those of us who love football. Those of us who enjoy the teams coming out every week in the fall know that it was because many schools in the 1800's had the guts to form teams and begin playing American football. Even though the rules were not complete, sometimes, 25, sometimes 20, sometimes 15, and then finally eleven men came out every Saturday to meet an opponent and fight for a victory. Then, when these men graduated, they wanted to keep playing and / or coaching so we saw many small, independent teams, and small leagues form before the coming of the powerful NFL. The National Football League became the greatest Professional league ever -- in any sport. Soon one or two players were getting paid and then after time went on, great players were paid and then all players and coaches were paid handsomely for playing the game they love. This book tells the story of how we got from there to here. It offers great insights into the struggles your favorite teams had when most officials would have preferred they continue to play more docile ball games such as association football and soccer. There are 774 NCAA college teams today that send about 50,000 players at the college level onto the gridiron each Saturday. There are 1696 men in total who take the field each Sunday, Monday and Thursday playing for 32 professional teams. Players, at all levels of the American football game, bring us much enjoyment through their victories and the sheer excitement of their playing the game. Coaches get these teams together to face off each week using discipline, conditioning, and the notion that there is honor in winning. It just does not happen It was a lot of hard work from some great coaches who got American football going strong at the end of the 18th century, and on to today. That evolution is what this book is about. Starting with the first bona fide football game in America in 1869, this book moves to the transition of this style football through a scrimmage-less rugby period all the way to American College Football and further on to NFL football as pro football is played today. We cover the early teams, the outstanding players, the football innovators such as Walter Camp, John Heisman, Amos Alonzo Stagg, Knute Rockne, Eddie Cochems, and others. We look at the great football players of this formative era and we look at many of the great schools and pro teams and how they formed their teams when a lot of guts mattered in a lot of different ways. We tell the fascinating story of how the ball, the oval football, was invented and how it was actually dangerous to make. This is the book you need to learn about how your favorite sport, American Football came into being. You won't want to put this book down.

There are two kinds of football in France. American football was first played in France in 1909 during the cruise of the Great White Fleet. Then, during World War I, the American military shipped footballs, helmets, and shoulder pads alongside rifles and ammunition to the western front. A 1938 tour of two teams lead by Jim Crowley of Fordham University maintained the game until World War II, when the arrival of millions of young Americans in France motivated the U.S. military to sponsor several bowl games. During the 1950s and 1960s, when the United States occupied bases in France during the Cold War, American soldiers, sailors, and airmen played more than a thousand football games. When France withdrew from NATO, however, American bases were forced to close, leaving American football without a natural home on Gallic shores. In the 1970s American college and semi-pro teams tried once more to generate interest in the game among French nationals through a series of tours, but until a French physical education instructor vacationed in Colorado and brought equipment back to France, there was little local enthusiasm for the sport. On the back of that vacation, and from one team in Paris, organized American football in France grew to more than 215 teams with more than 22,000 active players today. Le Football tackles the struggles and successes of American football in France and discusses how, unlike baseball and basketball, football has never been an overt instrument of American cultural influence. Russ Crawford keeps the chains moving as he shows how the modern, homegrown sport developed largely independent of American encouragement into a small but successful culture.

The First Crusade Against Football is a fully-indexed 600-page time capsule of articles and images from 1827 to 1898 during the first major crisis in American football based on its dangers and brutality. Football has been a violent and sometimes brutal sport since it began in the 19th century. As the game grew and expanded across the country, more and more young men were injured, crippled, and killed. In response to the public outcry against the sport and college authorities who sought to ban it, the founders of football sought to defend and reform the sport. Today football is again under attack due to a string of serious injuries and damaging medical reports. Headlines decry a drop in football ratings while predicting the possible demise of the sport. But none of this is new. This authoritative look at football in the 1800s shows the controversy over injuries was roaring even back in the 19th century when players had little if any protective equipment. Modern day rules designed for safety had yet to be created. The sport was for the toughest of young men who had grown up breaking horses and sleeping in uninsulated attics. But the crush of serious injuries, accidental death, concerned citizen groups, and critical newspaper reports resulted in the much safer modern game we have today. The First Crusade Against Football serves as a road map for parents, coaches, and football personnel who are struggling to address current injury concerns. The 600-page book features 210 articles, 85 illustrations, and 25 historic photographs. It details many examples of the concussion problem in the 1800s and how the game adapted to become safer, and then grew to become the central sport in America. The massive Index contains over 750 entries including breakdowns by injury type (bruise, concussion, cripple, disable, dislocate, fracture, sprain) and body part (ankle, arm, brain, collarbone, ear, elbow, eye, face, head, jaw, knee, leg, ligament, limb, mouth, neck, nose, rib, shoulder, skull, spine, tendon, tooth). An example from the book is the following excerpt from an 1892 article written by Walter Camp about a head injury during a game in 1884: At a point in the play of the first half, Terry in some way received a severe blow on the head, but such was the force of the bringing up he had enjoyed that he scrambled back into his place after giving up the ball to the centre rush, and only those perfectly familiar with his usual method of play would have noticed, or did notice anything peculiar about his movements. He managed to get through the half, and at intermission a hasty consultation was held in the dressing room by the captain and coaches. Terry was kept away from the rest of the players, for he was manifestly "out of his head." Richards said that during the latter part of the half Terry couldn't get his signals, but that being told what each was when it was given he seemed to carry out the play all right from sheer force of habit. Here was a dilemma indeed. No other half-back was available, and Richards, as well as others, believed that Terry, even in his condition, would mechanically carry out his plays if some one kept telling him when and what his signal was. Finally it was decided to start in with him on the second half and chance it. He not only played, but played well, desperately well at times, although he actually knew nothing of his actions, and was placed in a physician's care immediately after the game. It was some 12 hours before he recovered ordinary power of thought, and then he knew nothing whatever of the game or its results after he was hurt. Up to that point he could tell the progress of the game accurately-beyond that his mind was a blank until the following morning. I have heard of one or two similar instances, but this is the only one that has chanced to come under my own observation.
