Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the first intercollegiate game played in America, and the most widely accepted answer is the game of football played between Princeton and Rutgers in 1869. This game is often considered the birth of American football, as the rules were not fully established at the time and had elements of both soccer and rugby. Choices B, C, D, and E are not the correct answer as they were not played in an intercollegiate game until later years.
