Weight in Football and All America Teams Through 1902
The article argues that weight remains prized in football and compares teams from 1889 and 1902, noting heavy All America selections from Yale, Harvard, Princeton and West Point. It questions whether heavier squads outpace faster, skilled play and highlights historic lineups and their sizes.

A historical look compares 1893 and 1902 to modern football, arguing weight alone cannot beat skilled teams under today’s rules. It cites All America players from 1897 onward, contrasts earlier giants like Cowan and Heffelfinger, and notes rule changes in 1902 and 1904 affecting motion, line play, and strategy, with Yale’s champs illustrating varied maneuvers.
