| Nearly 100 spectators
gathered around a field in New Brunswick, N.J., on Nov.
6, 1869 to witness a game unlike anything seen before. The
competition between Rutgers and Princeton was "replete with
surprise, strategy, prodigies of determination and physical
prowess," to use the words of one player. |
| On that day 139 years
ago, the Scarlet Knights defeated Princeton, 6-4, but more
importantly, the players left a lasting legacy that would
evolve into the great spectacle of intercollegiate football.
To honor the birth of an American institution, the
AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic created a holiday held
annually on the first Saturday of November. |
| Join us in celebrating
the fifth annual NATIONAL COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAY.
Wear your lapel pin on Saturday, Nov. 1, and pay tribute
to this significant event in our country's history. |
