For those not familiar with the story, there were accusations that the second game in this series was fixed to assure there would be a lucrative third game between the teams.
A few key players in this photo include:
- Ted Nesser of the famous Nesser football family
- Peggy Parrott who is believed to have completed the first successful pass in professional football during the 1906 season
- Tiny Maxwell who the Maxwell award is named after

Jeff- what about the claims that the first pass was with Knute Rockne in 1913? I know it's a silly qualifier, but have heard that it was the Army-Notre Dame game. Only further explanation would be first "forward" pass.
