Description:
The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. First printing. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. xiv+456 pp. Illustrated. Important, comprehensive hundred-year history of college football in America. The author shows how the game evolved from a simple game played by college students into the lucrative semi-professional industry of the 21st century. He looks at the development of rules (a 0-0 tie resulted when, without the first-down rule, Yale retained the ball for an entire game), decribes the vicious brutality of kicks, punches and eye-gouging that almost caued the demise of the game, and tells of the 1910 rules change that led to the forward pass. The game exploded into popularity in the years between the World Wars and in the post War years became involved in the inevitable scandals involving recruitment and subsudies for student athletes.

Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xic, [2], 456, [4] pages. Format is approximately 6.75 inches by 10.25 inches. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliographical Essay. Index. John Sayle Watterson is an academic and sports historian. After earning a Ph.D. at Northwestern University, Watterson began working as an assistant professor at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. He published his first book, Thomas Burke, Restless Revolutionary, in 1980. In 2000 Watterson published College Football: History, Spectacle, Controversy. The book outlines the way the business was run in its early days. However, even in its infancy, Watterson shows how would-be sports headlines of the early 1900s mimic those found nearly one hundred years later, with various scandals, recruiters taking students out of preparatory school early to start playing football at the university level, and dirty techniques on the field.
