How did college football teams travel to their away games in the 1860s to 1930s?

sammi: How did college football teams travel to their away games in the 1860s to 1930s?
I know that the first college football games were more related to rugby and soccer. And the first intercollegiate game was held on November 6, 1869 and was between Rutgers and Princeton. How did the Princeton football team get to Rutgers? How did the other college football teams arrive at their games?

I would imagine by train – Rutgers and Princeton both being in NJ would have had train connections. Anyone on your schedule would be withing a 5-6 hour train (and then bus) journey from your school. My dad played football at Linfield in Oregon in the early 1930s and looking at his yearbook, a the folks they played (like Willamette in Salem, Oregon)were a couple of hours away by bus.

I thought this was common knowledge… John Madden drove them on his bus. Madden was the 1st person to ever orchestrate an intercollegiate game. He also used a big yellow crayon and a piece of paper to draw up his plays.

Answer by LaMario C
They drove and took planes. . . . Nah, I’m just kidding. I would think they used trains, carriage, or walked. They didn’t have much equipment so it was more simple to just go and play.
