      A follow up to my @Pigskin_Books thread from the other day: While I have a special fondness for books written by friends, the true gems of my collection are a few 100-year-old (or nearly so) titles by @cfbhall members.

      Frank Cavanaugh wrote “Inside Football” in 1919, after returning from distinguished service in WWI. He coached at 5 colleges, including my undergrad alma mater, @holy_cross, and won 145 games. Pat O’Brien (more famous as Knute Rockne) would play him in 1943’s “The Iron Major.”pic.twitter.com/dPC4Dn5DlS

          Percy Haughton wrote “Football, and How to Watch It” in 1922, a few years after ending his incredible nine-season, four-national-championship run at @HarvardFootball.pic.twitter.com/ESpWwEX4iu

          Alex Weyand had been an All-American at @WestPoint_USMA, wrestled in the 1920 Olympics, and was a career army officer when he wrote “American Football: Its History and Development” in 1926.pic.twitter.com/AS5pfmZEJg

          Bill Edwards, a lineman on @Princeton’s 1898-99 championship teams, wrote “Football Days” in 1916. (My copy was once owned by the great sportswriter Hugh Fullerton.) Edwards briefly served as president of the fledgling Red Grange/CC Pyle American Football League.pic.twitter.com/h5ucV3mbdA

          Not on my shelf because they’re too fragile. But I have a special fondness for my century-old issues of “Spalding’s Official Foot Ball Guide,” edited, and largely written, by the Father of American Football, Walter Camp.pic.twitter.com/FATVoA8EDu

          I’ve got Spaulding Guides from 1917-1921, plus a “special” edition covering the Inter-Allied Games (an Olympic style series of meets and competitions, which included a football tournament won by the 89th Division, which I covered in “War Football”) held in Paris in 1919.pic.twitter.com/TzUmzKvlfH
