The turn of the century was the pinnacle of football. Nineteen aught six saw the introduction of the forward pass, the return of the Harvard v Yale series after a 12 year hiatus following the 'Bloodbath of Hampden Park' ( a match noted for ungentlemanly conduct, in which all participants behaved no better than the most boorish Princeton grad. Even the chimney sweeps were rumored to have blushed that day), and such colorful figures as Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson, William "Pudge" Humperdinger, Ted "Yeasty Bottom" Smuttercup, and the indomitable Leslie "Sprinkle breasts" McBeef. The 1900s was certainly the golden age of American football.
