Very interesting. I'm really intrigued by the whole who conducted the coin toss and when now may need to dig into that whole tradition a bit deeper

I've been digging into it for a few years and the 1884 rule book shed some new light on the matter. My earliest image of the ref managing the process is from Michigan's 1903 yearbook.
