Passing Game Saves Lives
Mostly from Wikipedia
Saturday Is the Anniversary of the First Legal Forward Pass: September 5, 1906
1905 had been a bloody year on the gridiron; the Chicago Tribune reported 18 players had been killed and 159 seriously injured that season. There were moves to abolish the game. But President Theodore Roosevelt personally intervened and demanded that the rules of the game be reformed. In a meeting of more than 60 schools in late 1905, the commitment was made to make the game safer. This meeting was the first step toward the establishment of what would become the NCAA and was followed by several sessions to work out "the new rules."
The final meeting of the Rules Committee tasked with reshaping the game was held on April 6, 1906, at which time the forward pass officially became a legal play. The New York Times reported in September 1906 on the rationale for the changes: "The main efforts of the football reformers has been to 'open up the game' -- that is to provide for the natural elimination of the so-called mass plays and bring about a game in which speed and real skill shall supersede so far as possible mere brute strength and force of weight." However the Times also reflected widespread skepticism as to whether the forward pass could be effectively integrated into the game: "There has been no team that has proved that the forward pass is anything but a doubtful, dangerous play to be used only in the last extremity."
Most sources credit St. Louis University's Bradbury Robinson with throwing the first legal forward pass. Under the direction of St. Louis University coach Eddie Cochems, Robinson completed a pass to Jack Schneider in a September 5, 1906 game at Carroll College (Wisconsin). Writing in his book, The Anatomy of a Game: Football, the Rules, and the Men Who Made the Game, College Football Hall of Fame coach David M. Nelson (1920–1991) wrote that "E. B. Cochems is to forward passing what the Wright brothers are to aviation and Thomas Edison is to the electric light."
