Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune. NEW YORK, Jan. competition temporart standstill Yale and Princeton are indulging in a poilte tt!c war as to which of the two universities par- ticipated in the first intercollegiate football game. erd that Princeton and Rutgers played the first intercollegiate game in the fall of 1869, fifty-five years ago. Until now this claim hid been allowed to stand unchallenged. But now the Yale Alumni Weekly nas come forth debating this proud Gistinction and maintaining that tho Yale-Columbia. game of 1872 wes in reality the first Intercollegiate foot ball contest. The News backs up this assertic »y quoting Mr. Walter Camp's book Yale: Her Campus, Classrooms and Athletics.” Says Mr. Camp, “In me the fall of 1872 Yale challenged Col- umbia and the first legitimate game between colleges was played.” Plaintively asserts Ed- ward M. Norris, editor of the Prince- ton Alumni! Weekly, “this first game played by Yale was any more legiti- mate than. the five. intercollegiate games that preceeded it {s not ap- parent to the lay mind. continued Norris, “This con- tention should happen to fall under the eye of the Hon. William S. Gum- mers, °70, Chief Justice of New Jer- sey, who was captain of the | ton team that played the first ead | collegiate game with Rutgers in th : autumn of 1869, no doubt that e ft jurist» would be interested tol know the difference between a legiti- | i mate and an Illegitimate game of football and in particular to’ Le in- formed as to why after, all these yoars that historic first ' game in which he participated {s now brand- ed as illigitimate.” , It would seem that pending the views of Judge Gummers it is dis- tinctly up to the Yale alumni organ to define the difference between le- sitimate snd iNegitimate football a played ‘in the late sixties and early venties, It is true that the rules’ under which the two games were: played. ditfered nomewhate but not so materially as to bulwark the atti- tude Yale has taken. In the meantime it is to be noted that Michigan claims to have played the first organized football in the middle west having gone tn for the game and produced a team tn 1878.

In his time Brouthers batted some of the longest hits on: various, dia- monds that ever were made. He smashed one over the center field fence at Baltimore. That was the Baltimore greatest hit for years, He j Uttle New York hamlet undiother things be taken into con- sideration that is one of the great est batting nievements in the his- tory of the national game.

But rs of Brouthers’ time were real ers of the ball and not the apologetic young men who have been, sipping easy ones around the corners these days in order that ey may fave thelr arms. for more dough.

When Detroit went to smash Brouthers went east and played | with championship’ teams on that side of the divide, and always play ed wiih a batting average that made the es of other batters appear amate@rish.
