Both of these positions was unpaid, however that did not matter. The first official game was played against the St. John's Literary Institute of Cambridge, on October 26, 1893. In 1896 the most talked about rivalries began in college football. This was between Boston College and Holy Cross. During the early 20th century, these games brought in some of the largest sports crowds.
