When Football Came To Pass: 1906-1915 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798993219219)

Many in football's establishment opposed legalizing the forward pass in 1906 and worked to remove it from the game for a decade. Despite severe restrictions and an oddball assortment of early throwing techniques, the forward pass proved exciting, became more reliable, and survived.
When Football Came To Pass covers why football legalized the forward pass, the rules and other constraints on its development, and how Eddie Cochems and other pioneers developed solutions that ultimately led to the forward pass revolutionizing the game.
