</mods:physicalDescription>
<mods:abstract>This document, compiled by Luther Halsey Gulick M.D., contains excerpts of articles from the New York Sun, the New York Herald, and the New York Times, all of which cover the first ever indoor football game, played between Springfield College and Yale at Madison Square Garden (New York, New York) early December 1890. The last paragraph, written parenthetically, appears to be an addition added by Gulick to the excerpts. Springfield College's team, known as Stagg's Eleven, was comprised of W. J. Kellar, James A. Naismith (inventor of Basketball), J. P. Smith, D. W. Corbett, W. O. Black, W. H. Barton, W. C. McKee, F. N. Seerley, Amos Alonzo Stagg (the captain), A. E. Garland, and W. H. Ball. In the contest against Yale, Springfield College had less than fifty students from which to draw. Stagg was the only experienced player on the Springfield College squad and found his team outsized by an average of twenty pounds per man. In a great contest, Springfield College showed true courage and pride, but ultimately lost 16-10. The newspapers labeled Stagg’s team the “Stubby Christians,” commending the team for the surprise they gave everyone in attendance and how they outplayed the giants from New Haven. For more information on Amos Alonzo Stagg, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/661 For more information on Luther Halsey Gulick, see https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/614. Small damage from staple in top center of all pages. Creasing and small tears in the center of the pages from having been folded. The boarders of the first and last pages have dark discolorations. Writing in pencil at the top of the first page reads "Played in Madison Square Garden NY City in 1890." Small corrections made in pencil on the first page.</mods:abstract>
