Teddy Rosevelt Somewhat oddly the(Rough Rider) himself Theodore Roosevelt.

It should be noted in this period football players did not wear helmets. The football conference took place inthe winter of l905. I believe both Walter Camp and Alonzo Stagg, both famous in their own right, were invoved inthe football reform conferfence.
Theodore Roosevelt had thoughts of banning the game due to the number of deaths that occurred due to the violent nature of the game in the early 1900s.
