How did college football teams travel to their away games in the 1860s to 1930s?
sammi asked:
I know that the first college football games were more related to rugby and soccer. And the first intercollegiate game was held on November 6, 1869 and was between Rutgers and Princeton. How did the Princeton football team get to Rutgers? How did the other college football teams arrive at their games?

Football at linfield in the early 1930s and looking at linfield in nj would be withing 56 hour train rutgers and princeton both being in oregon in the early 1930s and then bus journey.
Football at linfield in salem oregonwere couple of hours away by train and looking at his yearbook the folks they played football at.

They drove and took planes. . . . Nah, I’m just kidding. I would think they used trains, carriage, or walked. They didn’t have much equipment so it was more simple to just go and play.

1860s-1910s, likely by train. 1920s-1930s, probably by Model T or some sort of bus.
