Question 1 of 5

Athletes from Rutgers University and Princeton University participated in the first intercollegiate football game back in 1869. Players wore hats, coats, vests, and suspenders instead of helmets and pads; some Rutgers players wore scarlet-colored scarves to distinguish themselves from their opponents. Although the game more closely resembled the game of rugby, it was definitely the forerunner of American football. Rutgers, now known as the Scarlet Knights, ultimately won the game by a score of 6 'runs' to Princeton's 4 (today the score would be kept in 'points,' not runs).

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. American football has not changed much since the first intercollegiate football game was played.

B. Most early football players did not know how to throw a football properly.

C. Rutgers' current football team is better than Princeton's.

D. The name Scarlet Knights most likely refers to clothing worn by Rutgers players in the 1869 game.
