In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt called coaches and athletic advisers from Harvard University, Yale University and Princeton University to the White House to discuss how to improve the game of football.
The changes caused by Roosevelt were the first steps in a long line of reforms(改革) to make American football safer.
Football at the time was very dangerous and violent. In 1905 alone, at least 18 people died and more than 150 were injured playing football. According to The Washington Post, at least 45 football players died from 1900 to October 1905.
Roosevelt liked football and thought being violent wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. But his son was injured while playing as a freshman at Harvard, bleeding badly from a cut over his eye, and the nation was shocked at the number of young men who died or were seriously injured playing the game. People were especially shaken by the November 1905 death of Union College player Harold Moore, who died after being kicked in the head.
A movement rose up to ban the sport, which was led by the president of Harvard and a number of other well－known people.They thought football had no place in civilized(文明的) society and wanted to throw it away. According to The New York Times, Harvard President Charles Eliot said that football was crueler than fighting. Other schools didn’t even allow students to play football. Roosevelt wanted to reform the game but complained in a letter that Eliot wanted to kill it.
Roosevelt again called Harvard, Yale and other football coaches and officials to the White House in December 1905, with a view to taking away its dangerous features. A committee was formed after the 1905 season to look at changing the rules.
The rules were changed for the 1906 season, but there were still some doubts. The head coach at Swarthmore College wrote a series of articles called “How to Play Football〞. And it took a few years for the rules to shake out. The most important safety feature we now have—helmets(头盔)—was not required until much later.
