Question What was the rule for change of possession after a touchdown in college football in 1911?
Answer Lynn, hello!
I have attached some websites that may have that information but not sure where that information would be found. I have given you the phone number to the NCAA. They may have the old rules. At one time, the team behind by so many points was given the ball but I do not know when those rules applied in those years. About 1917, Georgia Tech beat Cumberland College 222-0 (116-0 at halftime) so Cumberland didn't have control of the ball after that first kickoff!
