Scene 6 of *A Football Warrior* is a single frame from an Edison film of about 1908, preserved as a photoprint. Edison's company registered its motion pictures for copyright by submitting frames like this on paper, a practice that kept many early films in the Library's collections. Football was a popular subject for American filmmakers of the period, when the rough, often dangerous college game was drawing public attention and calls for reform. The record's details come from an unverified caption card, so the specifics of this scene should be read with that in mind.
