A recap of the first game of organized football played at Iowa State. And incidentally, the first piece of football journalism as well. The journalist quite literally did not know what he was watching. He does not give the score, but does mention biased refereeing in favor of the visiting team. According to ISU's official history timeline, the game ended in a 6-6 tie.

In the early 1890s ISU's campus had a 12 acre athletic complex, with tennis courts, a track, and fields for both baseball and football. Clyde Williams Field was not built until 1914, so the location of the first game is not known, yet.
