 Captain Eugene V. Baker emphasized strenuous training methods with his men and instilled in them a desire not just to compete, but to win. This change set intercollegiate athletics on a new path, one that it continues to follow to this day. Baker is seated, holding the football. Walter Camp is standing with his arms crossed, over Baker’s left shoulder. (Courtesy Manuscripts and Archives, Yale University Library).

Captain Phil King is standing in the center row with his left hand on his hip. William Ward, who scored the winning touchdown, is reclining in the front row, with his right arm on a teammate’s knee.

Dave Revsine’s work is filled with jaw dropping, vividly detailed stories about football’s wild, woolly formative years. If you think America’s football obsession is a recent development, or that corruption in the money-driven college game is only a modern problem, you’ll be stunned by The Opening Kickoff. A great read. I loved it!” |
