combatbengal Posted July 5, 2005 Report Posted July 5, 2005 Here are a few historical facts about football. In 1909 a field goal dropped from four points to three. In 1906 the forward pass was legalized. In 1912 a touchdown was increased from five points to six. In 1935 the NFL adopted Bert Bell's proposal to hold an annual draft of college players, to begin in 1936, with teams selecting in an inverse order of finish, May 19. The inbounds line or hashmarks were moved nearer the center of the field, 15 yards from the sidelines. Quote
