Minnesota football history was made on Sept. 29, 1882,
when Minnesota played Hamline at the Col. King State Fairgrounds, near
Riverside and Franklin in South Minneapolis. These two teams, along with
Carleton, were to take part in a "Field Day" at the Fairgrounds.
Carleton failed to show up, and Hamline nearly left, but Minnesota team
captain A.J. Baldwin talked Hamline into staying and playing what would
be the first football game in U of M history. Baldwin scored the first
points of the game to lead the Gophers to a 4-0 win.
Alfred Pillsbury was one of the founders of football
at Minnesota. In the early days, there were no governing bodies regulating
collegiate eligibility, so Pillsbury played at Minnesota for eight seasons,
from 1885-92. His greatest contribution may have been changing the team's
style of play from the soccer style to the rugby style. He accomplished
this mainly because he owned the only rugby ball in town!
The first Big Nine title game for the Gophers was played
in 1900. That season, Minnesota went 10-0-2 under the first year direction
of Dr. Henry Williams. Dr. Williams was Minnesota's first full-time, salaried
coach. He left his mark on the game as a member of the rules committee:
he was the first to propose legislation legalizing the forward pass. (The
forward pass was legalized in 1906.) In 21 years as football coach he
compiled a 136-33-11 record. The Gophers won eight Big Ten titles under
Williams. He was honored in 1950 when the U of M Fieldhouse was renamed
Williams Arena.
