NFLers Avoid Campus Women

I don’t know whether NFL players and prospects still receive a list of dos and don’ts upon arrival at training camp, but they did when the Chicago Cardinals arrived at Lake Forest College to prepare for the 1956 season. The Cardinals went 7-5 that year, good for second place in the league’s Eastern Conference, but they failed to attract much attention among Chicagoans, who trickled into Comiskey Park for Cardinals’ home games. Even after starting the season 4-0, only 30,553 bothered show — www.footballarchaeology.com

Jim Marshall runs wrong way with recovered fumble

On October 25, 1964, after recovering a fumble against the 49ers in San Francisco, Minnesota Vikings star defensive end Jim Marshall runs 66 yards the wrong way into his own end zone. The four-year veteran believes he has scored a touchdown, so he throws the ball out of bounds in celebration, resulting in a safety […] — www.history.com
Sure, here is a summary of the infamous "wrong way run" play by Jim Marshall of the Minnesota Vikings:

On October 25, 1964, during a game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Minnesota Vikings were leading 27-17 in the fourth quarter. With just over two minutes remaining, 49ers quarterback John Brodie fumbled the ball after being sacked by Vikings defensive end Carl Eller.

Vikings linebacker Dave Whitsell recovered the fumble at the San Francisco 49ers' 20-yard line. However, teammate Jim Marshall, a defensive end, mistakenly picked up the loose ball and started running the wrong way. He ran 66 yards down the field, unaware that he was heading into his own end zone.

The confusion on the field was palpable. Some Vikings players yelled at Marshall to stop, but he thought they were encouraging him to run for a touchdown. San Francisco 49ers players were initially unsure of what was happening but then realized the opportunity and tackled Marshall in his own end zone, resulting in a safety for the 49ers.

The safety cut the Vikings' lead to 27-19, but they ultimately won the game 27-22. Despite the win, Marshall's blunder became one of the most famous and embarrassing plays in NFL history. He was initially ridiculed for his mistake, but later gained respect for his sportsmanship and humility.

Football Early Executioner Mask

Broken noses were primarily relegated to football’s past in the 1960s due to the widespread use of face masks. Before that, broken noses were common, so players, trainers, and equipment manufacturers developed methods to protect the proboscis or, at least, to keep them from further harm once injured. Noses went unprotected until 1892 when Harvard captain Arthur Cumnock developed a hard rubber device to protect a teammate’s broken nose. Cumnock soon sold the rights to his invention to John Mo — www.footballarchaeology.com

During the game’s early years, football’s rules were virtually identical to those of rugby which did not allow teams to maintain possession from one scrimmage or scrummage to another. When football went down the possession path in 1880, the rule makers assumed that teams possessing the ball would play honorably, punting when they could not advance the ball after a few scrimmages. However, Princeton had other ideas and kept the ball play and after play versus Yale in 1880 and 1881, leading to — www.footballarchaeology.com
