  was
• 2:24
  a
• 2:24
  stretch
• 2:24
  there.
• 2:24
  It
• 2:24
  would
• 2:24
  have
• 2:25
  been
• 2:25
  worse.
• 2:25
  Would
• 2:26
  have

  My

  recent
• 3:01
  tidbit

  Football's

• 3:09
  can
• 3:09
  you
• 3:09
  tell
• 3:09
  us
• 3:09
  about
• 3:10
  this
• 3:10
  story?
• 3:11
  Yeah,
• 3:11
  so
• 3:12
  this
• 3:12
  is
• 3:12
  one
• 3:12
  that
• 3:13
  I
• 3:14
  stumbled
• 3:14
  upon
• 3:16
  a
• 3:16
  second
• 3:16
  time.
• 3:17
  So.
• 3:20
  You
• 3:20
  know,
• 3:20
  Brent
• 3:21
  asked
• 3:21
  me
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  question
• 3:22
  or
• 3:22
  two
• 3:22
  about
• 3:23
  the
• 3:23
  Crescent
• 3:24
  Athletic
• 3:24
  Club,
• 3:26
  and
• 3:26
  they
• 3:26
  were
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  prominent
• 3:27
  team,
• 3:29
  you
• 3:29
  know,
• 3:29
  late
• 3:29
  1880s
• 3:31
  for
• 3:31
  sure,
• 3:32
  1890s,
• 3:32
  and
• 3:33
  then
• 3:33
  probably,
• 3:33
  you
• 3:33
  know,
• 3:33
  to
• 3:34
  some
• 3:34
  extent
• 3:34
  into
• 3:34
  the.
• 3:34
  Into
• 3:35
  the
• 3:35
  1900s.
• 3:36
  It
• 3:36
  was
• 3:36
  a
• 3:37
  team
• 3:37
  based
• 3:37
  in
• 3:37
  Brooklyn
• 3:38
  and
• 3:39
  it
• 3:39
  was
• 3:40
  mostly
• 3:40
  composed
• 3:40
  of
• 3:41
  former.
• 3:42
  Originally
• 3:42
  it
• 3:43
  was
• 3:43
  former
• 3:43
  Yale
• 3:43
  players.
• 3:46
  And
• 3:47
  you
• 3:47
  know,
• 3:47
  but
• 3:48
  other,
• 3:48
  you
• 3:49
  know,
• 3:49
  people
• 3:49
  who
• 3:49
  played
• 3:50
  college
• 3:50
  football,
• 3:51
  so
• 3:51
  they
• 3:51
  had
• 3:51
  played
• 3:52
  Northeastern
• 3:53
  college
• 3:53
  football.
• 3:54
  And
• 3:54
  so
• 3:55
  they
• 3:56
  had
• 3:56
  fancy
• 3:56
  schmancy
• 3:57
  jobs.
• 3:58
  A
• 3:58
  lot
• 3:58
  of
• 3:58
  them
• 3:58
  came
• 3:58
  from
• 3:59
  some
• 3:59
  form
• 3:59
  of
• 3:59
  money.
• 4:00
  And
• 4:00
  so
• 4:01
  they
• 4:01
  joined
• 4:01
  this
• 4:01
  athletic
• 4:02
  club
• 4:02
  both
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  socialize,
• 4:03
  business
• 4:04
  connections
• 4:04
  and
• 4:05
  for
• 4:06
  sports.
• 4:07
  And
• 4:07
  so
• 4:07
  they
• 4:07
  formed
• 4:09
  a
• 4:09
  football
• 4:09
  team.
• 4:10
  And.
• 4:12
  They,
• 4:13
  they
• 4:13
  were
• 4:13
  in
• 4:13
  an
• 4:14
  early.
• 4:16
  An
• 4:16
  early
• 4:17
  football
• 4:17
  league
• 4:17
  of
• 4:18
  mostly
• 4:18
  athletic
• 4:19
  club
• 4:19
  teams,
• 4:20
  but
• 4:20
  they
• 4:20
  always
• 4:20
  played
• 4:21
  the
• 4:22
  college.
• 4:22
  They
• 4:22
  play
• 4:23
  Yale
• 4:23
  and
• 4:23
  Princeton
• 4:24
  and
• 4:24
  Penn
• 4:25
  and
• 4:25
  those
• 4:25
  kinds
• 4:25
  of
• 4:25
  people,
• 4:26
  Columbia,
• 4:27
  you
• 4:28
  know,
• 4:28
  pretty
• 4:28
  much
• 4:28
  every
• 4:28
  year
• 4:29
  they.
• 4:29
  They
• 4:29
  play
• 4:29
  some
• 4:30
  combination
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  those
• 4:30
  guys.
• 4:31
  And
• 4:33
  so
• 4:33
  anyways,
• 4:34
  I
• 4:34
  mean,
• 4:34
  they
• 4:34
  were
• 4:34
  very
• 4:35
  talented,
• 4:35
  know,
• 4:36
  quality
• 4:36
  team,
• 4:37
  but
• 4:38
  a
• 4:38
  little
• 4:38
  bit
• 4:38
  older
• 4:38
  than
• 4:39
  college
• 4:39
  players.
• 4:40
  So.
• 4:41
  So
• 4:42
  in
• 4:42
  looking
• 4:42
  into
• 4:42
  them
• 4:43
  again,
• 4:44
  I
• 4:44
  kind
• 4:44
  of
• 4:45
  came
• 4:45
  across,
• 4:46
  or
• 4:46
  I
• 4:46
  was
• 4:47
  reminded
• 4:47
  and
• 4:48
  came
• 4:48
  across
• 4:48
  some
• 4:48
  information
• 4:49
  about
• 4:50
  Crescent.
• 4:51
  AC
• 4:52
  was,
• 4:53
  was
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  first
• 4:54
  team
• 4:54
  I
• 4:54
  came
• 4:55
  across
• 4:55
  where
• 4:55
  they
• 4:56
  were
• 4:56
  mentioned
• 4:56
  as
• 4:57
  using
• 4:57
  chains
• 4:58
  on
• 4:58
  the
• 4:59
  football
• 4:59
  field.
• 5:00
  So
• 5:00
  that
• 5:00
  the
• 5:00
  down
• 5:01
  marker,
• 5:01
  you
• 5:01
  know,
• 5:01
  kind
• 5:02
  of
• 5:02
  not
• 5:02

• 5:02
  down
• 5:02
  marker,
• 5:03
  but
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  chains.
• 5:05
  And.
• 5:07
  So
• 5:07
  I
• 5:07
  had,
• 5:07
  you
• 5:08
  know,
• 5:08
  one
• 5:08
  of
• 5:08

• 5:08

• 5:09
  writing
• 5:09
  tidbits,
• 5:10
  I
• 5:10

  writing
• 5:11
  these
• 5:11
  kind
• 5:11
  of.
• 5:11
  They
• 5:11
  were
• 5:12
  intended
• 5:12
  to
• 5:12
  be
• 5:12
  almost
• 5:13
  like,

• 5:15
  something
• 5:15
  like
• 5:16
  that,
• 5:16
  real
• 5:16
  short,
• 5:16
  boom,
• 5:17
  boom,
• 5:17
  boom.
• 5:17
  And
• 5:17
  so
• 5:18
  I
• 5:18
  wrote
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  quick
• 5:18
  little
• 5:18
  one
• 5:19
  about
• 5:20
  Crescent
• 5:20
  being
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  first
• 5:21
  ones
• 5:21
  to.
• 5:22
  That
• 5:22
  I
• 5:23
  had
• 5:23
  identified
• 5:24
  as,
• 5:24
  as
• 5:25
  using
• 5:25
  chains.
• 5:27
  And
• 5:27
  but
• 5:27
  this
• 5:28
  article
• 5:28
  that
• 5:28
  I,
• 5:29
  that
• 5:29
  I
• 5:29
  came
• 5:29
  across
• 5:30
  took
• 5:30
  it
• 5:30
  back
• 5:30
  another
• 5:31
  week
• 5:31
  or
• 5:31
  two
• 5:32
  and
• 5:33
  it
• 5:33
  mentioned
• 5:34
  that
• 5:34
  they
• 5:34
  had
• 5:35
  played
• 5:35
  pen
• 5:37
  twice
• 5:37
  that
• 5:37
  year.
• 5:39
  And
• 5:40
  as
• 5:40
  they
• 5:40
  were
• 5:40
  saying,
• 5:41
  well,
• 5:41
  you
• 5:41
  know,
• 5:42
  Crescent
• 5:42
  Athletic
• 5:43
  Club
• 5:43
  is
• 5:43
  going
• 5:44
  to
• 5:44
  use
• 5:44
  these.
• 5:47
  Use
• 5:47
  this
• 5:48
  tool
• 5:49
  to
• 5:49
  help.
• 5:52
  Determine
• 5:53
  whether
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  A
• 5:54
  team
• 5:55
  earned
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  first
• 5:55
  down.
• 5:56
  They
• 5:57
  mentioned
• 5:57
  that
• 5:57
  it.
• 5:58
  They
• 5:58
  had
• 5:59
  kind
• 5:59
  of
• 5:59
  gotten
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  idea
• 6:00
  or
• 6:01
  had
• 6:01
  seen.
• 6:01
  Seen
• 6:02
  it
• 6:02
  used
• 6:03
  by
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  folks
• 6:04
  at
• 6:05
  Penn
• 6:05
  and
• 6:05
  specifically
• 6:06
  George
• 6:06
  Woodruff,
• 6:07
  who
• 6:07
  was
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  coach
• 6:07
  at
• 6:08
  Penn
• 6:08
  at
• 6:08
  the
• 6:09
  time.
• 6:11
  So,
• 6:12
  so
• 6:13
  that's
• 6:13
  a,
• 6:13
  that's
• 6:13
  the
• 6:14
  first
• 6:14
  time
• 6:14
  I
• 6:14
  had
• 6:14
  come
• 6:15
  across
• 6:15
  that.
• 6:16
  And.
• 6:18
  And
• 6:18
  I,
• 6:18
  you
• 6:18
  know,
• 6:19
  I
• 6:19
  went
• 6:19
  and
• 6:19
  looked
• 6:19
  at
• 6:19
  some
• 6:20
  pen
• 6:20
  articles
• 6:21
  trying
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  find
• 6:21
  any
• 6:22
  kind
• 6:22
  of
• 6:22
  reference
• 6:22
  to
• 6:24
  Woodruff
• 6:25
  and
• 6:25
  chains
• 6:26
  or
• 6:26
  down
• 6:26
  markers
• 6:27
  or,
• 6:27
  you
• 6:27
  know,
• 6:27
  any
• 6:28
  kind
• 6:28
  of
• 6:28
  terminology
• 6:28
  like
• 6:29
  that.
• 6:29
  And
• 6:29
  I,
• 6:29
  I
• 6:30
  didn't
• 6:30
  find
• 6:30
  anything.
• 6:30
  Now
• 6:31
  if
• 6:31
  somebody
• 6:31
  else
• 6:31
  out
• 6:32
  there
• 6:33
  is
• 6:33
  aware
• 6:33
  of
• 6:33
  some,
• 6:33
  you
• 6:34
  know,
• 6:34
  let
• 6:34
  us
• 6:34
  know.
• 6:36
  But
• 6:36
  it's
• 6:36
  just,
• 6:37
  it's
• 6:37
  kind
• 6:37
  of
• 6:37
  funny
• 6:37
  because,
• 6:38
  you
• 6:38
  know,
• 6:38
  in
• 6:39
  18
• 6:39
  or
• 6:39
  1994.
• 6:42
  That
• 6:42
  was
• 6:42
  the
• 6:43
  year
• 6:43
  that
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  linesman
• 6:44
  was
• 6:44
  added
• 6:45
  to
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  officiant
• 6:45
  officiating
• 6:46
  crew.
• 6:47
  And
• 6:48
  so
• 6:48
  before
• 6:48
  that,
• 6:49
  you
• 6:49
  know,
• 6:49
  you
• 6:49
  had
• 6:49
  the
• 6:50
  really
• 6:50
  early
• 6:50
  stuff,
• 6:51
  but
• 6:52
  then
• 6:52
  from
• 6:52
  like
• 6:53
  1880
• 6:54
  until
• 6:54
  8
• 6:55
  through
• 6:55
  1893,
• 6:56
  you
• 6:56
  had
• 6:57
  a
• 6:57
  referee
• 6:57
  in
• 6:58
  a.
• 6:59
  And
• 6:59
  an
• 6:59
  umpire.
• 7:01
  And
• 7:01
  so
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  referee
• 7:02
  was
• 7:02
  responsible
• 7:03
  for
• 7:03
  keeping
• 7:04
  track
• 7:04
  of
• 7:04
  whether
• 7:04
  or
• 7:05
  not
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  team,
• 7:06
  you
• 7:06
  know,
• 7:06
  gained
• 7:07
  five
• 7:07
  yards.
• 7:07
  And
• 7:08
  best
• 7:08
  as
• 7:09
  I
• 7:09
  can
• 7:09
  tell,
• 7:09
  what
• 7:09
  they
• 7:09
  used
• 7:09
  to
• 7:10
  do
• 7:10
  is
• 7:10
  they
• 7:10
  drop
• 7:10
  a
• 7:10
  handkerchief
• 7:11
  on
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  ground
• 7:12
  wherever
• 7:13
  the
• 7:13
  first
• 7:13
  down
• 7:13
  was.
• 7:14
  And
• 7:14
  then
• 7:16
  if
• 7:16
  they
• 7:16
  got
• 7:16
  five
• 7:16
  yards
• 7:16
  past
• 7:17
  that,
• 7:17
  then
• 7:17
  you'd
• 7:17
  give
• 7:17
  them
• 7:18
  a
• 7:18
  first
• 7:18
  down.
• 7:18
  Well,
• 7:19
  you
• 7:19
  know,
• 7:19
  you
• 7:19
  put
• 7:20
  a
• 7:20
  handkerchief
• 7:20
  out
• 7:21
  there
• 7:21
  on
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  field,
• 7:21
  sometimes
• 7:22
  it
• 7:22
  gets
• 7:22
  kicked
• 7:23
  or
• 7:23
  moved
• 7:24
  either
• 7:25
  by
• 7:25
  accident
• 7:26
  or
• 7:26
  deliberately,
• 7:27
  and
• 7:28
  especially
• 7:28
  five
• 7:29
  yards
• 7:29
  in.
• 7:29
  Advance
• 7:29
  of
• 7:29
  the
• 7:30
  line
• 7:30
  of
• 7:30
  scrimmage.
• 7:30
  Yeah,
• 7:31
  yeah.
• 7:31
  A
• 7:31
  lot
• 7:31
  of
• 7:31
  traffic
• 7:32
  going
• 7:32
  in
• 7:32
  there.
• 7:33
  So.
• 7:35
  So
• 7:35
  anyways,
• 7:35
  then
• 7:36
  when
• 7:36
  they
• 7:36
  added
• 7:36
  this
• 7:37
  linesman,
• 7:38
  one
• 7:38
  of
• 7:38
  his,
• 7:39
  he
• 7:39
  had
• 7:39
  two
• 7:39
  duties.
• 7:40
  One
• 7:40
  was
• 7:40
  to
• 7:41
  take
• 7:41
  care
• 7:41
  of
• 7:41
  the
• 7:42
  tracking
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  distance,
• 7:43
  and
• 7:43
  then
• 7:44
  he
• 7:44
  was
• 7:44
  also
• 7:44
  supposed
• 7:44
  to
• 7:45
  help
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  umpire
• 7:46
  rule
• 7:47
  on
• 7:47
  fouls
• 7:48
  or,
• 7:48
  you
• 7:48
  know,
• 7:48
  penalties.
• 7:50
  And
• 7:50
  so
• 7:51
  the,
• 7:52
  the
• 7:53
  suggestion
• 7:53
  at
• 7:53
  the
• 7:53
  beginning
• 7:55
  was
• 7:55
  that
• 7:56
  you
• 7:56
  basically
• 7:56
  have
• 7:57
  a
• 7:57
  flag
• 7:57
  for
• 7:57
  each
• 7:58
  down.
• 7:58
  So
• 7:58
  first
• 7:59
  down,
• 7:59
  you'd
• 7:59
  put
• 7:59
  a
• 7:59
  flag
• 8:00
  in
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  ground
• 8:00
  over
• 8:00
  on
• 8:00
  the
• 8:01
  sideline.
• 8:01
  Second
• 8:02
  down,
• 8:02
  you
• 8:02
  put
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  second
• 8:03
  down
• 8:03
  flag
• 8:04
  in
• 8:04
  the
• 8:04
  ground,
• 8:05
  wherever
• 8:05
  that
• 8:06
  was.
• 8:07
  And
• 8:07
  then.
• 8:10
  You
• 8:10
  know,
• 8:11
  you,
• 8:11
  you
• 8:11
  do
• 8:11
  the
• 8:12
  same
• 8:12
  thing
• 8:12
  on
• 8:12
  third
• 8:12
  down,
• 8:13
  just
• 8:13
  in
• 8:13
  case
• 8:13
  there
• 8:13
  was
• 8:13
  some
• 8:14
  kind
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  a
• 8:14
  penalty.
• 8:14
  But,
• 8:14
  you
• 8:15
  know,
• 8:15
  you
• 8:15
  only
• 8:15
  had
• 8:15
  three
• 8:16
  downs,
• 8:16
  you
• 8:16
  know,
• 8:17
  at
• 8:17
  that
• 8:17
  time,
• 8:17
  so
• 8:17
  typically
• 8:18
  you're
• 8:18
  going
• 8:18
  to
• 8:18
  punt.
• 8:18
  But.
• 8:21
  So
• 8:21
  anyways,
• 8:22
  you
• 8:22
  know,
• 8:22
  it's
• 8:22
  just
• 8:22
  one
• 8:23
  of
• 8:23
  those
• 8:23
  things
• 8:23
  that
• 8:23
  you
• 8:23
  just.
• 8:25
  That
• 8:25
  makes
• 8:25
  sense
• 8:26
  to
• 8:26
  do
• 8:26
  that.
• 8:26
  You
• 8:27
  know,
• 8:27
  I
• 8:27
  mean,
• 8:27
  if.
• 8:28
  First
• 8:28
  idea
• 8:29
  on
• 8:29
  how
• 8:30
  to,
• 8:31
  you
• 8:31
  know,
• 8:31
  to
• 8:32
  use
• 8:32
  a
• 8:32
  tool
• 8:33
  to
• 8:33
  track
• 8:33
  the
• 8:33
  yardage,
• 8:34
  a
• 8:34
  flag
• 8:35
  free
• 8:35
  down
• 8:36
  makes
• 8:36
  pretty
• 8:36
  good
• 8:37
  sense
• 8:37
  to
• 8:37
  me.
• 8:39
  But
• 8:39
  then
• 8:39
  apparently,
• 8:40
  you
• 8:40
  know,
• 8:40
  Woodruff's
• 8:40
  idea
• 8:41
  was
• 8:42
  to
• 8:42
  do
• 8:42
  have
• 8:43
  two
• 8:43
  stout,
• 8:44
  you
• 8:44
  know,
• 8:45
  or
• 8:45
  two
• 8:46
  poles
• 8:46
  and
• 8:47
  a
• 8:47
  stout
• 8:47
  cord
• 8:48
  or
• 8:49
  ribbon
• 8:49
  between
• 8:49
  those
• 8:50
  two
• 8:50
  that
• 8:50
  was
• 8:50
  five
• 8:51
  yards
• 8:51
  long.
• 8:52
  And,
• 8:53
  you
• 8:53
  know,
• 8:53
  then
• 8:54
  even,
• 8:54
  even
• 8:54
  that
• 8:55
  year,
• 8:55
  one
• 8:55
  of
• 8:55
  the
• 8:55
  newspaper
• 8:56
  reporters
• 8:56
  suggested,
• 8:57
  well,
• 8:57
  you
• 8:57
  know,
• 8:57
  probably
• 8:57
  a
• 8:58
  chain
• 8:58
  would
• 8:58
  be
• 8:58
  better.
• 8:59
  And
• 9:00
  so
• 9:00
  they
• 9:01
  converted
• 9:01
  over
• 9:01
  to
• 9:01
  chains.
• 9:02
  And,
• 9:04
  you
• 9:04
  know,
• 9:04
  exactly
• 9:04
  when
• 9:05
  that
• 9:05
  happened,
• 9:05
  I
• 9:05
  don't
• 9:05
  know.
• 9:05
  But.
• 9:07
  And
• 9:08
  then
• 9:08
  in
• 9:08
  1998
• 9:10
  is
• 9:10
  when,
• 9:11
  by
• 9:11
  rule,
• 9:12
  you
• 9:12
  were
• 9:12
  supposed
• 9:12
  to
• 9:13
  have
• 9:13
  a
• 9:13
  set
• 9:13
  of
• 9:13
  chains
• 9:14
  on
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  sideline
• 9:15
  and.
• 9:16
  1898,
• 9:17
  you
• 9:17
  mean?
• 9:17
  Yeah,
• 9:18
  I'm
• 9:18
  sorry.
• 9:19
  Yeah,
• 9:19
  1898.
• 9:20
  Okay.
• 9:21
  So.
• 9:21
  So
• 9:22
  anyways,
• 9:22
  I
• 9:22
  mean,
• 9:22
  it's
• 9:23
  just
• 9:23
  one
• 9:23
  of
• 9:23
  those
• 9:23
  things
• 9:23
  that
• 9:23
  you.
• 9:25
  We
• 9:25
  don't
• 9:25
  think
• 9:26
  about
• 9:26
  much.
• 9:27
  I
• 9:27
  mean,
• 9:28
  you
• 9:28
  know,
• 9:28
  obviously
• 9:29
  with
• 9:29
  some
• 9:29
  of
• 9:29
  the
• 9:29
  changes
• 9:30
  the
• 9:30
  NFL
• 9:30
  is
• 9:31
  going
• 9:31
  through,
• 9:31
  I
• 9:31
  mean,
• 9:32
  we,
• 9:33
  we've
• 9:34
  thought
• 9:34
  about
• 9:34
  how
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  make
• 9:35
  that
• 9:36
  process
• 9:36
  better.
• 9:38
  But,
• 9:39
  you
• 9:40
  know,
• 9:40
  the
• 9:41
  chains
• 9:41
  have
• 9:42
  been
• 9:42
  around
• 9:43
  since,
• 9:44
  you
• 9:45
  know,
• 9:45
  well,
• 9:45
  for
• 9:45
  whatever,
• 9:46
  130
• 9:47
  years,
• 9:47
  125
• 9:48
  years
• 9:48
  or
• 9:48
  something.
• 9:49
  Yeah.
• 9:49
  And.
• 9:52
  And
• 9:52
  yet,
• 9:53
  you
• 9:53
  know,
• 9:53
  you
• 9:53
  just
• 9:54
  don't
• 9:54
  think
• 9:54
  about,
• 9:54
  oh,
• 9:55
  when
• 9:55
  did
• 9:55
  they
• 9:55
  first
• 9:55
  show
• 9:55
  up,
• 9:56
  you
• 9:56
  know,
• 9:56
  where
• 9:57
  who
• 9:57
  came
• 9:58
  up
• 9:58
  with
• 9:58
  the
• 9:58
  first
• 9:58
  set
• 9:58
  of
• 9:59
  chains.
• 9:59
  I
• 9:59
  mean,
• 9:59
  because
• 9:59
  that
• 10:00
  had
• 10:00
  to
• 10:00
  be
• 10:00
  invented
• 10:00
  by
• 10:01
  somebody.
• 10:02
  So,
• 10:03
  you
• 10:03
  know,
• 10:04
  who
• 10:04
  came
• 10:04
  up
• 10:05
  with
• 10:05
  it?
• 10:05
  I
• 10:05
  mean,
• 10:05
  it
• 10:07
  apparently
• 10:08
  George
• 10:08
  Woodruff.
• 10:08
  I
• 10:09
  haven't
• 10:09
  found
• 10:09
  any
• 10:09
  corroboration
• 10:10
  for
• 10:10
  that,
• 10:10
  but
• 10:10
  for
• 10:11
  the
• 10:11
  first
• 10:11
  mention
• 10:12
  that
• 10:12
  I
• 10:12
  find
• 10:13
  in
• 10:14
  the
• 10:14
  newspapers
• 10:14
  anyways
• 10:15
  is
• 10:17
  it's
• 10:17
  all
• 10:18
  about
• 10:18
  Crescent
• 10:18
  Athletic
• 10:19
  Club.
• 10:20
  So.
• 10:20
  Yeah,
• 10:21
  you
• 10:21
  know,
• 10:21
  isn't
• 10:21
  that
• 10:22
  sort
• 10:22
  of
• 10:22
  an
• 10:22
  interesting
• 10:23
  facet,
• 10:23
  you
• 10:23
  know,
• 10:23
  whether
• 10:24
  it
• 10:24
  was
• 10:24
  Woodruff
• 10:24
  or
• 10:25
  not?
• 10:25
  But
• 10:25
  we
• 10:25
  know,
• 10:25
  like,
• 10:26
  you
• 10:26
  know,
• 10:26
  Crescent,
• 10:27
  you
• 10:27
  know,
• 10:27
  was
• 10:27
  adopting
• 10:28
  it,
• 10:28
  but
• 10:29
  that
• 10:29
  the
• 10:29
  teams
• 10:30
  were
• 10:30
  initiating
• 10:31
  the
• 10:32
  changes
• 10:32
  to
• 10:33
  officiating
• 10:34
  equipment
• 10:34
  and
• 10:35
  not
• 10:35
  the
• 10:36
  officials
• 10:36
  or
• 10:37
  the
• 10:37
  rules
• 10:37
  makers
• 10:38
  making
• 10:38
  those
• 10:39
  changes.
• 10:39
  So
• 10:39
  that's
• 10:40
  kind
• 10:40
  of
• 10:40
  a
• 10:40
  different
• 10:41
  facet
• 10:41
  that
• 10:42
  we
• 10:42
  wouldn't
• 10:42
  think
• 10:42
  of
• 10:43
  today.
• 10:43
  Okay,
• 10:44
  but,
• 10:44

• 10:53
  official

• 10:56
  Officials

  were
• 10:58
  coaches
• 11:00

• 11:35
  But

  yeah,

  I
• 11:36

  just,
• 11:39
  you
• 11:39
  know,
• 11:40
  I
• 11:40
  mean,

  official.
• 11:42
  How
• 11:42
  am
• 11:42
  I
• 11:43
  going
• 11:43
  to
• 11:43
  make
• 11:43
  this
• 11:43
  process
• 11:43
  better?
• 11:44
  You
• 11:45
  know,
• 11:45
  they
• 11:45
  just
• 11:45
  were.
• 11:47
  I'm
• 11:47
  talking
• 11:47
  like,
• 11:48
  you
• 11:49
  know,
• 11:49
  if
• 11:49
  you
• 11:49
  do
• 11:49
  a
• 11:50
  job,
• 11:50
  you
• 11:50
  know,
• 11:50
  no
• 11:51
  matter
• 11:51
  what
• 11:51
  you
• 11:51
  do,
• 11:52
  if
• 11:52
  you
• 11:52
  can
• 11:52
  find
• 11:53
  an
• 11:53
  easier
• 11:53
  way
• 11:53
  to
• 11:54
  do
• 11:54
  it
• 11:54
  or
• 11:54
  something
• 11:54
  that
• 11:54
  would
• 11:54
  help
• 11:55
  you
• 11:55
  and
• 11:55
  assist
• 11:56
  you
• 11:56
  in
• 11:56
  your
• 11:56
  job
• 11:56
  and
• 11:56
  making
• 11:57
  you
• 11:57
  better
• 11:57
  at
• 11:58
  it,
• 11:58
  you
• 11:58
  know,
• 11:58
  that's
• 11:59
  sort
• 11:59
  of
• 11:59
  a
• 11:59
  logical
• 12:00
  path.
• 12:00
  You
• 12:00
  know,
• 12:00
  that's.
• 12:01
  I
• 12:01
  guess
• 12:02
  that's
• 12:02
  sort
• 12:02
  of
• 12:02
  the
• 12:03
  angle
• 12:03
  I'm
• 12:03
  coming
• 12:04
  at.
• 12:04
  Yeah.
• 12:04
  Yeah.
• 12:05
  Well.
• 12:05
  And
• 12:06
  okay,
• 12:06
  but
• 12:07
  having
• 12:07
  said
• 12:07
  that,
• 12:08
  so
• 12:08
  in
• 12:08
  the
• 12:09
  first
• 12:09
  year
• 12:09
  that
• 12:09
  they
• 12:09
  had
• 12:09
  linesmen,
• 12:10
  they
• 12:10
  had
• 12:11
  chains.
• 12:12
  So
• 12:12
  I
• 12:13
  mean,
• 12:13
  now
• 12:14
  before
• 12:14
  that,
• 12:14
  they
• 12:14
  didn't
• 12:15
  have.
• 12:18
  But,
• 12:19
  you
• 12:19
  know,
• 12:19
  they
• 12:19
  didn't
• 12:20
  have
• 12:20
  anybody
• 12:20
  who
• 12:20
  could
• 12:21
  do
• 12:21
  it.
• 12:21
  I
• 12:21
  mean,
• 12:22
  the
• 12:22
  referee
• 12:23
  would
• 12:23
  add
• 12:23
  had
• 12:24
  had
• 12:24
  to
• 12:24
  have
• 12:24
  been
• 12:24
  standing
• 12:25
  out
• 12:25
  there
• 12:25
  in
• 12:25
  the
• 12:25
  field.
• 12:25
  And
• 12:26
  that's
• 12:26
  why,
• 12:26
  like,
• 12:26
  for
• 12:27
  a
• 12:27
  long
• 12:27
  time,
• 12:27
  the.
• 12:28
  The
• 12:28
  linesman
• 12:29
  would
• 12:29
  be
• 12:29
  holding
• 12:30
  these
• 12:30
  little
• 12:30
  posts.
• 12:31
  I
• 12:31
  mean,
• 12:32
  I've
• 12:32
  got
• 12:32
  pictures
• 12:32
  of
• 12:32
  those
• 12:33
  guys
• 12:33
  running
• 12:33
  up
• 12:33
  and
• 12:33
  down
• 12:33
  the
• 12:34
  field
• 12:34
  with
• 12:34
  those
• 12:34
  little
• 12:34
  posts
• 12:35
  all
• 12:35
  the
• 12:35
  time
• 12:35
  and
• 12:36
  a
• 12:36
  little
• 12:36
  box,
• 12:37
  you
• 12:37
  know,
• 12:37
  1,
• 12:37
  2,
• 12:38
  3,
• 12:38

  top
• 12:39
  you
• 12:40
  know,
• 12:40
  the
• 12:40
  down
• 12:40
  box.
• 12:42
  So,
• 12:43
  yeah,
• 12:43
  I
• 12:43
  don't
• 12:43
  know.
• 12:43
  It's
• 12:44
  just,
• 12:44
  it
• 12:44
  is.
• 12:44
  It's
• 12:45
  one
• 12:45
  of
• 12:45
  those
• 12:45
  crazy
• 12:45
  things.
• 12:46
  And
• 12:46
  so,
• 12:46
  yeah,
• 12:46
  why
• 12:46
  didn't
• 12:47
  they
• 12:47
  figure
• 12:47
  that
• 12:47
  out
• 12:47
  earlier?
• 12:48
  But
• 12:49
  it,
• 12:50
  you
• 12:50
  know,
• 12:51
  just
• 12:51
  takes
• 12:51
  a
• 12:51
  little
• 12:51
  bit
• 12:51
  of
• 12:52
  time.
• 12:52
  No
• 12:52
  other
• 12:52
  sport
• 12:53
  has
• 12:53
  anything
• 12:53
  like
• 12:54
  it.
• 12:54
  So,
• 12:54
  you
• 12:54
  know,
• 12:55
  it
• 12:55
  had
• 12:55
  to
• 12:55
  start
• 12:55
  somewhere.
• 12:56
  And
• 12:56
  it
• 12:56
  is
• 12:56
  one
• 12:56
  of
• 12:56
  the
• 12:57
  innovations
• 12:57
  that
• 12:57
  football
• 12:58
  made
• 12:59
  unique
• 12:59
  to
• 12:59
  itself.
• 13:00
  So,
• 13:00
  yeah,
• 13:00
  kind
• 13:01
  of.
• 13:01
  Kind
• 13:01

  these
• 13:07
  ancient
• 13:08
  aspects
• 13:09
  of
• 13:09
  the
• 13:09
  game
• 13:10
  and
• 13:10
  how
• 13:11
  it
