- Start date
Fun fact:
The last two players from the November 6, 1869 Rutgers-Princeton football game were George H. Large of Rutgers and William P. Lane of Princeton. They were both invited to the November 5, 1938 Rutgers Stadium Dedication Game. Lane died in Hagerstown, Maryland the morning of that game. Large passed away nine months later.
Lane's son was William P. Lane who went on to become Governor of Maryland. When you drive over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge you’re officially driving on the William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge.
One of George Large's sons was Judge George K. Large
who was assigned as a special assistant attorney general for the State of New Jersey representing the prosecution of Bruno Hauptmann in the famous Lindbergh baby kidnapping-murder trial, the so-called “Crime of the Century,” in 1935.
Happy 147th birthday to the anniversary of the start of college football!

Was speaking with my family about this recently. I pray that I see a national championship in my life. Nothing in sports would compare better. I feel the entire country would be rooting for us.
