K.U. PLAYED FIRST FOOTBALL GAME WITH BAKER IN 1890
Rules, Uniforms, and Players Show Marked Changes Since Early Intercollegiate Days
Since 1890, when the first intercollegiate football game was played by Carras, many changes in rules,灵敏ness of play, and improved formations that were used in the pioneering days of football have raised to the open formation and modern era.
The closed formations featured the criss-cross and line bunks, with the stairs leading to them. The ball was because only the indirect pass was used. The open formations formed the criss-cross end ramps, the national end runs, and the trick plays, serves to make the game much more fun.
Scoring was Different
The goals on this field were made of crude rubber and the same effect in the goals of today. The field was 110 yards long and 50 yards wide, and was marked off in five-yard-secured time. The team had to make a decision to make five yards and a first down. The scoring of the game allowed four points for a touchdown, two for a successful kick after the touchdown, and three for a goal.
On a field located where the Law-
rence Memorial High School now
stands, the University played its first
hockey game at Baker University, Dec. 8, 1880,
before 200 people. One side of the field was
provided with temporary bleachers so
that those desiring to play the admi-
tioned children be seated while watching the game.
Instead of the shoulder pads, the kidney pads, and the well-padded headgear of today, kids wear cushions that contained little or no padding. Their shoes were either canvas or a poor grade leather. They had to be worn during the entire season.
Football had been advocated as a University sport several times before 1890, and it was played in each season. The first game of any sort player at the University was i182 when some student formed a makeshift team and played in the park
Then a number of games were played between different groups on the campus. Carruth, of the department of German, undertook to coach these teams. Prof. E. M. Hopkins of the
department of English, who had seen the game played at Princeton University several times, but who knew nothing of the finer points of the game. The next year the Academy won the team was provided with training quarters in the basement of what is now old Snow Hall. Players were forced to keep in training and were put on a diet. Basketball was one of the best physical condition.
Flying Wedge Wes. Popular
Forty-five minute hustle here.
Fourteen minutes later the flying
wedge was a very popular type of play.
A high degree of team work was required because of the nature of this class, but it earned with the team because if a player once made the varsity team he was not taken out when he had to leave. Between 1902 and 1904 a subscription list was circulated around the university for money. It was raised funds to buy a field. Coleneel McCook of New York became interested and gave $1.50 and $1.75 to raise money for the use of building this field.
Football has changed every year in university, but interest has grown with each change that has taken place, until now the university that has been erected for the purpose of holding football encounters.

Centering in the Quadrangle is an athletic court spacious enough for a football gridiron, baseball diamond, and tennis courts. Bordering on the
east are the well wooded West Hills park and rock garden. These afford opportunities for recreation and relaxation. Noted landscape architects have called the Fraternity Quadrangle the most beautiful and unique adaptation associated with any university.
We will finance and build your fraternity home on easy terms extending over a period of years.
