                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 14, 2019

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
NCAA football on the 150th anniversary of their first collegiate game.
   On November 6, 1869, Rutgers College (now Rutgers University) went 
on to defeat the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) by a 
score of 6-4. Football was nothing like today's game. It used a rugby-
type ball on a 110-yard field. A touchdown was worth four points and 
the games had two 45-minute halves with a running clock.
  The University of Colorado Buffaloes are rich in football history. 
The CU Buffs began

their collegiate football program on November 15, 1890 and have played 
at Folsom Field since 1924. In 1990, CU won the National Championship 
and currently has all-time record of 697-479-36.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to NCAA football on their 150th 
anniversary. Go Buffs.
