1869 New Jersey vs. Rutgers football game
The 1869 New Jersey vs. Rutgers football game was a college football game between the College of New Jersey (now the Princeton Tigers) and the Rutgers Queensmen played on November 6, 1869. The game's rules were based on the London Football Association's early set of rules, which had recently become the most popular set of rules for the game of football at the time. The game, along with the schism between the FA's rules and the rules of the Rugby Football Union, set in motion the events which would lead to the development of modern American football during the following decades. The game is widely considered to have been the first American football game ever played, but also is seen as being the first college soccer game by some due to the rules under which the game was played.
Rutgers won the game 6–4.
==Game and game rules==
Part of the first season of college football ever played, the game took place on November 6, 1869 at College Field (now the site of the College Avenue Gymnasium at Rutgers University) in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Because the game was played at a Rutgers field, it was also played under Rutgers' rules. The rules were based on Football Association's rules of the time, in which two teams of 25 players attempted to score by kicking the ball into the opposing team's goal, but throwing or carrying the ball was not allowed. (See Gameplay section below for how the game transpired.) Rutgers won the game by a score of 6 "runs" to Princeton's 4.〔(NFL History ) at the National Football League website, accessed 10 September 2006.〕〔(Rutgers Through the Years ) (timeline, under 1869 (direct link available )), published by the Department of University Communications and Marketing, Rutgers University, with historical images courtesy of Special Collections and University Archives, Rutgers University Libraries.

William J. Leggett, later a distinguished clergyman of the Dutch Reformed Church, was the Rutgers captain; William Gummere, who later became chief justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, captained the Princeton squad. The game was played in front of approximately 100 spectators. Reportedly, the players from Rutgers wore scarlet-colored turbans and handkerchiefs to distinguish them as a team from the Princeton players, which was the reason that they later adopted the Scarlet Knights as their mascot.〔(Tradition at www.scarletknights.com ) (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University).
